The Member of Parliament for Assin Central and flagbearer hopeful in the just-ended presidential election, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has called on the members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to work together to give the National Democratic Congress (NDC) a showdown in the 2024 polls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also pledged his support to work with the members of the NPP to break the eight-year cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Agyapong, who disclosed before and during the voting that he would have issues if the elections were rigged, described the elections as \u201cfair.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Accepting the results of the Electoral Commission (EC) and congratulating the winner of the presidential primary, the MP expressed his appreciation to his campaign team for their tireless efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indeed, it\u2019s a great day today. I believe the party has been fair and transparent. That is the only thing I have already been preaching. And I must admit, this election is fair and my grassroots have spoken. And therefore, I accept the results in good faith. I pledge my support that we are working tirelessly to break the eight. Party members, we are here, we should put everything behind us and let\u2019s unite this party. With unity, I believe we can break the eight. I want to assure you, in 2024, the showdown is being translated today. We have to come together and give the NDC a showdown. I want to thank my team for working hard and the party faithfuls who believed in me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the Vice President of Ghana, won the presidential primary, setting him up for a showdown with former President and NDC flagbearer John Dramani Mahama in the 2024 general election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
