The campaign team of Kennedy Agyapong, a presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has refuted allegations made by former Suhum MP Opare Ansah against Assin Central MP Ken Agyapong, calling them baseless accusations.
The team stated that false claims against their preferred presidential aspirant are rooted in Opare Ansah’s dissatisfaction after Mr. Ken Agyapong declined his request to serve as his Campaign Manager.
A statement released by the Ken Agyapong campaign team referred to the former MP as an “opportunist” and clarified several key points raised by him.
In response to an alleged demand for a GH¢500 million contract by Mr. Agyapong, the team challenged Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia on whose behalf they claimed Mr. Ansah spoke, to provide concrete evidence of any such discussion since there was no basis for such claims.
Additionally, the team defended Ken Agyapong’s participation in the U.S government’s amnesty program and emphasized that his actions were legal and intended to assist individuals through legitimate means.
“The Amnesty program has given rise to the current Green Card Lottery which continues to attract talent into America; this is not a racketeering endeavor but rather legal business,” said their statement.
Furthermore, they highlighted SuperCare’s success – a venture led by Oppong-Bio and Agyapong – showcasing his dedication towards entrepreneurship while underscoring financial contributions made during NPP’s victory in 2000 elections.
“Honorable Ken Ohene Agyapong’s unwavering financial support, resource provision and advocacy for NPP are well-recognized,” it read.
They contrasted this with what they say is Mr. Ansah’s diminishing support within NPP party pointing out his inability retain his parliamentary seat and the unsuccessful bid at the NPP General Secretary position.
“The New Patriotic Party deeply appreciates all supporters’ commitment; Honorable Ken Ohene-Aagypong’s dedication towards progress and substantial contribution are undeniable,” they concluded.
It encouraged party supporters, especially the delegates to shift focus back to the core issues and policies that truly matter to the people of the nation, reaffirming their commitment to the betterment of the country.
