The Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong is expected to face the NPP’s Disciplinary Committee over accusations and threats he made against President Akufo-Addo and Dr. Mahamamudu Bawumia during the party’s Special Delegates Conference held on Saturday.
A video of Mr. Agyapong went viral, capturing him issuing threats to expose the two leaders for purportedly attacking his agents during Saturday’s election.
In the video, he was heard saying, “President Akufo-Addo, I will give you a showdown in this country, I swear to God. Vice President, I will give you a showdown for chasing my agent away. I swear to God. You will hear what will happen here. I swear to God, I will challenge President Akufo-Addo big time.”
It has since come to light that these remarks were made by the outspoken lawmaker during a radio interview.
In a statement issued on Sunday, August 27, 2023, the NPP General Secretary, Justin Kodua, revealed that Kennedy Agyapong would be summoned before the party’s Disciplinary Committee.
The statement also indicated that several other individuals, including Raphael Patrick Sarfo, Charles Dokyi Yaw-Addo, Musa Sulemana, and Hopeson Yaovi Adorye, would likewise be referred to the committee.
“This is a direct response to evidence, including video and photographic materials, which suggest potential violations of the provisions outlined in Article 3(5)(A)(1)(2)(3) and (4) of the Party’s Constitution and a potential misconduct under Article 4(7),” the party stated.
“The NPP remains committed to upholding democratic values, accountability, and the highest standards of conduct. We are confident that this disciplinary process will be conducted with fairness, transparency, and impartiality” the statement added.
