Mr George Opoku Amponsah, a member of the Ashanti Regional Communication Team of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has advised the National Disciplinary Committee of the party to solve the puzzle regarding petitions against Ken Ohene Agyapong, a former Presidential Aspirant, without creating even more complex situations for the Party.
An avalanche of petitions against Ken Agyapong have been forwarded by National Executive Council (NEC) and National Council (NC) to the National Disciplinary Committee, in accordance with the Party’s constitution.
But George Opoku Amponsah, a Farmer, Politician and Social Interest Advocate has pleaded the party to tread cautiously as it is saddled with petitions against a stalwart of the party.
In a missive on June 28, 2026 headlined: “The youth appeal; Whether Ken must go or stay”, the young farmer noted that the glee and haste with which some few individuals openly displayed the unfortunate banner and the disrespectful spectacle of attempt by the miscreants to confront the Minority Leader, Osahen Afenyo Markin, at Alisa Hotel is shameful and must be condemned in no small measure.
Mr. Opoku Amponsah said the case of Mr Alan Kyerematen remains a nemesis yet to overcome, and explained that today whenever communicators of the newly founded United Party (UP) sit as panel members during political programmes, seek to vent vitriolic attacks on fellow opposition NPP instead of exposing the current government.
He suggested that the seeming feud, brewing harshly over this Ken issue must not further push the party into another opposition term even before election 2028 beckons.
He said the NPP must not lose sight of the fact that people join political parties for varying reasons and that while some associate with “us by virtue of our Ideological lineage, others join because of certain individuals within the party.”
“Whether we like it or not, there are several thousands of NPP sympathizers today whose loyalty is linked to Hon. Ken Agyapong and their affiliation to this party could undoubtedly be coterminous with the exit of Hon. Ken Agyapong as in the case of Hon. Alan Kyerematen”, he pointed out.
He noted that “we (NPP) cannot continue to be too hard on ourselves instead of exposing the NDC” advising that “when cruelty is cladded as constitutional provision, let us deliver interpretations from commonsensical and not legalistic perspective”.
He said the ongoing internal reorganisation has its own way of inflicting some level of profound lack of interest from within our circles. The communicator, therefore, noted that it is imperative for the Party to unite and close its ranks by objectively analysing the Presidential results of 2020 and 2024.
He noted that it is a contemporary political reality that, whenever one feels having come to the end of the road, it is not always the case that the road itself has come to an end.
According to Opoku Amponsah, with the 2028 elections in mind, it is the richness of alternative policies of NPP that would massacre the NDC and not who did what in the past that could bring us down as a Party.
He emphasised that the Youth of the NPP cannot afford another electoral loss in 2028 since Dr. Mahamoudu Bawumia must win the next election in the interest of our dear Nation.
