Presidential hopeful Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, representing the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has made a bold declaration regarding his potential popularity within the Muslim community. In a recent statement, Agyapong confidently stated that he expects to garner more votes from the Muslim community than Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, who himself is a Muslim.
Agyapong’s assertion is grounded in his belief that his contributions to the Muslim community far outweigh those of Dr. Bawumia. He pointed out that he has dedicated substantial effort and resources to the betterment of the Muslim community over the years, making him a favorable choice for their support.
During a spirited gathering of his party supporters at the Kumasi Showdown Walk on Saturday, September 30, 2023, Agyapong stressed the importance of avoiding religious and tribal politics in the ongoing presidential race. However, he also issued a warning, emphasizing that he is not one to shy away from confronting such divisive tactics when deemed necessary.
