Ken Agyapong never considered going independent – Charles Bissue

A leading aide to Kennedy Agyapong has dismissed suggestions that the outspoken New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwart ever considered leaving the party or contesting as an independent candidate, insisting he remains fully committed to the NPP’s unity and success.

Charles Bissue, Campaign Administrator for the Ken Agyapong team, said Agyapong’s loyalty to the party is unwavering and grounded in decades of dedication as a founding member.

He said the former lawmaker’s commitment to the NPP was evident during the 2024 general election campaign, when he personally visited eight constituencies to support Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the party’s presidential candidate.

“In 2023, some people went to his house and wanted him to become an independent candidate. He drove them away, saying that the NPP has made him who he is,” Bissue said on The Forum on Asaase Radio on Saturday.

“Somebody who is a founding member of the party, I think the party is dear to his heart. He has never said he would leave the party or refuse to help any winning candidate,” Bissue added.

He stressed that unity between leading figures such as Agyapong and Bawumia is crucial as the NPP prepares for future elections.

“If Kennedy wins, he would need Dr. Bawumia; and if Dr. Bawumia wins, he would need Kennedy and the others,” Bissue said.

The remarks come amid growing attention to internal party dynamics as the NPP positions itself for the 2028 presidential race, following its defeat in the 2024 polls.
