Kennedy Agyepong to run for President

New Patriotic Party hot head and firebrand, Hon. Kennedy Agyepong has announced today that he is nurturing presidential ambitions. Speaking to Moro Awudu on Citi FM's morning show, the Assin North MP revealed that he is only 50 years and "knows what time it is" so he will be the best president for Ghana. Hon Agyepong would not state specifically when he will run but he was full of confidence that when he does run, he will win.

He indicated that the reason why he will win can be traced to his simple dressing which makes him approachable and the fact that since 1992 nobody has contributed the amount of cash comparable to what he has given the NPP.

The NPP maverick decried the Akyem Ashanti divide in the NPP and said it was absolutely useless. He said if the trend continued, they will push Ashantis and Akyems aside and that will even make his presidential bid easier since he is from the Central Region. He had tough and unkind words for the "suspended" Ashanti Regional NPP Organiser Kennedy KanKam who he accused of being naïve and reckless.

Hon. Agyepong renewed his support for Nana Addo and controversially argued that if Nana Addo was president he will never have charged Kwadwo Mpani and Charles Wereko Brobbey no matter what.
