Agyapong hopes to succeed President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as leader of the NPP in the elections of 2024.
Several well-known figures have entered the race, including Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Trade and Industry Minister Alan Kyerematen, and Agriculture Minister Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, but none of them have openly declared their intentions.
Former Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko, former NPP General Secretary Kwabena Agyei Agyapong, and Kennedy Agyapong have all publicly declared their ambition to run for the position.
Ahiagbah counsels business owners and the owners of transportation firms to drop prices to match lower gas prices.
“We don’t allow ordinary people to hold such a position. You would have to have a certain stature to hold a position in the party. It is not a position for any mean person. So if we have such stalwarts presenting themselves [to contest the chairmanship position], we should be happy that we have such great men contesting,” he said on the Point Blank segment on Eyewitness News.
Over 10,000 delegates of the NDC will go to the polls at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday, December 17, to elect national officers for the party.
The chairmanship position is being contested by four persons including the incumbent chairman, Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo and the current General Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah.
Others in the race are former Labour and Employment Minister, Nii Armah Ashietey and former Deputy Ashanti Regional Minister, Samuel Yaw Adusei.
“I am so happy we have the best of materials, and it is good they are contesting, and we will deal with all issues that would have arisen from the elections,” he told host of Eyewitness News, Umaru Sanda Amadu.
Mr. Adams recalled such incidents in 2005 and 2011, adding "on both times the party went ahead and won the polls," when asked about the probability that these difficulties will influence the chances of the NDC in the 2024 general elections. We advanced and won the 2008 elections in 2005, and we advanced and won the 2012 elections in 2011.
He emphasized that "the NPP had suspended its elected National Chairman, elected General Secretary, elected Vice Chairman, and several other members when they won the elections [in 2016]."
Kofi Adams, a member of parliament representing the Buem constituency, responded, "Because I am a member of the," when asked who he believes is expected to win the chairmanship race.
