Agyapong, Poku, Apraku, Ghartey fail to qualify for next phase of NPP presidential race

Kwabena Agyei Agyapong, Kwadwo Poku, Kofi Konadu Apraku, and Joe Ghartey are among the aspirants who have failed to qualify for next phase of New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential race in November 2023.

Those among the five to be shortlisted are Mahamudu Bawumia, Ken Agyapong, Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen and Owusu Afriyie Akoto.

Boakye Agyarko and Francis Addai Nimoh will have to wait for the official declaration of the results to know their fate.

 Ken Agyapong, the Member of Parliament for Assin Central and the Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia have overtaken him by getting more endorsements.

The three are to be joined by two others for the November showdown, which will witness a larger delegation from the NPP from all polling stations meeting to elect a flagbearer to face off with the opposition National Democratic Congress’s John Dramani Mahama in the December 7, 2024 general elections.
