A presidential candidate hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Ken Agyapong, has rendered an unqualified apology to anyone who feels that he has offended them.
He has, in turn, forgiven any party member who has offended him in any way.
Speaking at the TESCON-KNUST General Meeting and Freshers’ Orientation on Sunday, March 30, 2025, in Kumasi, the former Member of Parliament for Assin Central preached unity in the NPP as the party reorganizes itself and works to wrest power from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2028 general elections.
“Without unity, even if you bring Jesus Christ to lead NPP, we will lose. So our cardinal focus should be unity. In politics, we offend each other; let us put it behind us. The only people who become better in society are those who are able to forgive friends and brothers who offend them. Anybody who feels that I have offended them, I apologize. Anybody who feels they have offended me, I have forgiven them.
“We need to come together and become one formidable force that is ready to fight. It is not going to be easy in 2028; it is going to be tough. But with unity, I assure you that we have the men. We will gather them and put them together, and there will be a showdown. So, do not be despaired—have hope and confidence that what any political party has done to come to power, NPP can do it too, and we are definitely coming back.”
The NPP, which was the incumbent party, was defeated by the NDC in the 2024 general election.
The NDC’s presidential candidate, John Mahama, polled 6,328,397 votes, representing 56.55%, while Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who was the NPP flagbearer and incumbent Vice President, secured 4,657,304 votes, representing 41.61%.
