NPP Presidential Primaries: Kwabena Agyepong Climaxes Nationwide Campaign In A/R

New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential aspirant hopeful Ing. Kwabena Agyei Agyepong will on Tuesday, August 22 complete a swing through the country at a meeting with Super Delegates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Ashanti Region.

His nine-day breeze has taken him through Accra, Dambai, Ho, Takoradi, Cape Coast, Techiman, Sunyani, Goaso and Goaso.

The tour enabled him engage delegates of the party ahead of the Super Delegates Conference on Saturday, August 26.

Addressing delegates in Oti Region, Ing. Agyepong reiterated his intention to lead a lean, downsized government should he be elected as President of the country.

Elaborating on his 6 Point Plan, the former NPP General Secretary expressed his commitment to cut waste in public procurement by ensuring value for money, adding that his vision of ushering in a NEW DAWN is resonating positively with the populace.

“If I’m blessed to have the opportunity to be President, I’ll be substantially different. I don’t see why there should be a Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs or Ministry of Chieftaincy. It used to be a Secretariat at the Presidency.

“So there are many things I want to see cut, especially when we are going through very tough economic times. It is not the quantum of money you save by reducing the number of Ministries per se but it is the strong moral message you send to the country that as government we’re tightening our belt, leading by example, and walking the talk,” he said.

At Ho in the Volta Region, Ing Agyepong called on the delegates to eschew materialism, resist the monetization of politics.

Instead, he entreated them to vote for values, virtues, principles and reward long dedicated service to our great party.

He told delegates that they have a sacred responsibility to deliver a brighter future to generations unborn.

Ing Agyepong added that if elected President he will demonstrate exemplary leadership in order to carry the country along as austerity measures are implemented to set the economy back on a path of sustainable growth.

“It’s time for a drastic departure from the status quo, business as usual and more of the same will not work for the NPP in 2024,” he told the delegates.

Meeting the delegates of the Central Region in Cape Coast, the aspirant insisted that the party needs a new lease of life by electing a flagbearer who represents a NEW DAWN in order to enhance the party’s chances of winning the elusive third consecutive term in the 2024 general elections.

Ing Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, who was Press Secretary to then President John Agyekum Kufuor, maintained that he has the skills set and relevant experience to help retain power for the party.

“We need an energetic and decisive leader to reconnect with our party base and earn the trust of the Ghanaian people. I humbly submit that I offer that hope of a fresh start for Ghana.”
