Presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party, Kennedy Agyapong, has alleged that the campaign team from a contender, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, attempted to woo him with big money to step-down and becomw his running mate.
The Member of Parliament for Assin North Constituency made the comment at the Jubilee Park in Kumasi on Saturday, September 30, 2023.
According to Ken, he turned down the offer while accusing Dr Bawumia of engaging in acts that had the potential of collapsing the party.
“Bawumia and his people has approached me several times with big money, to step-down and become vice-president. But I turned down his offers…. Who says he will become president even if i step-down?”
Meanwhile, several Ashanti residents flocked to Kumasi’s main thoroughfares to march in support of the NPP flagbearer candidate.
Many of the march participants said they were supporting the Assin Central Member of Parliament because of the nation’s present economic crisis.
People who are largely NPP supporters claim that Kennedy Agyapong is the sole candidate who can aid the party in keeping control of the government in the general elections of 2024.
