The Western Regional Minister, Kobby Okyere Darko Mensah, has recently criticized Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong for his behavior. According to the minister, Mr. Agyapong is a "braggart" who does not respect the delegates who will ultimately choose the next presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
In Mr. Mensah's opinion, all aspiring presidential candidates should make their case to the delegates and explain why they are the best person for the job. He believes that the delegates want a candidate who will not insult them or talk about his good deeds when he has a disagreement with someone.
"I believe that all aspirants should compete. They should go to the delegates and persuade them why they should vote for them. Go to the delegates and explain why you are the best," he said.
Mr. Mensah also disagreed with Mr. Agyapong's claim that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the current Vice President, is responsible for the struggles facing the Ghanaian economy. He argued that the NPP administration has competently managed the economy, and that Mr. Agyapong's claims were false and irrelevant.
"I have stated numerous times that delegates will never vote for people who insult them, and they will never vote for people who will tell the entire world if they do something for you. Delegates will vote for people who they can control. The delegates will support Dr. Mahamaudu Bawumiua," he added.
The minister also called on the NPP leadership to take action against Mr. Agyapong for his inappropriate behavior, stating that the party has measures in place to deal with wayward members.
In addition, Mr. Mensah expressed regret that some people were giving the impression that Dr. Bawumia was chosen by President Akufo-Addo. He clarified that he supported the Vice President because he is competent, hardworking, and dedicated.
As the race for the NPP presidential candidate heats up, it is clear that tensions are running high within the party. However, Mr. Mensah's comments serve as a reminder that respect and decorum are essential when seeking the support of the delegates who will ultimately decide the party's future.
