Kwasi Kwarteng, spokesperson for Kennedy Agyapong’s campaign, has urged supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the general public to allow the former Assin Central MP time to reflect following the party’s recent presidential primary.
His comments follow speculation on social media suggesting that Kennedy Agyapong may be considering a break from the party after he was absent from the NPP’s thanksgiving service held at the UPSA auditorium on Sunday, February 15.
Speaking to Citi News, Kwasi Kwarteng clarified that Agyapong remains committed to the party and that his absence should not be misinterpreted.
“He is still a member of the NPP. He has not and will not break away from the NPP. In relation to his absence yesterday at the event, he was out of town. His commitment to the party remains unshaken, unbroken, unresolved and will still remain high,” he said.
Kwarteng stressed that after what he described as a tense and emotionally charged primary, Agyapong deserves space to process the experience.
“I think out of respect, we should give people moments to also reflect. I mean, it can’t be said that for a whole one year, one person is accused of having orchestrated the party’s 2024 defeat and that his comments are so sour and that he has been insulting women and all manner of accusations.
“He is a human being, he has his low moments and his high moments. I think after such a tense contest like this with accusations, we should give people at least some room to reflect,” Kwasi Kwarteng added.
