Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong directed threats at the president, Vice President and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) after voting in the super delegates conference on August 26.
The video of his outburst quickly went viral across social media as many wondered what may have triggered his outburst.
In his fit of anger, Ken disclosed that mistreatment of his polling agent in the North East Region was why he was angry. It has since been proven that his anger was misplaced because the agent in question was that of rival contender Alan Kyerematen called Ali Zakaria.
GhanaWeb has since confirmed who the MP was venting on the phone to.
He had just been called into Oman FM, an Accra-based radio station he is owner of, he was being asked about how he saw the voting process after having cast his ballot.
A video available to GhanaWeb shows a calm Agyapong responding to a question before he quickly transitioned into full blast mode threatening especially Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia because the infraction Ken was protesting was taking place in the veep’s home region.
After confirming to the journalist that the Central Region as always were abiding with all electoral and security protocols, he added:
"I want to beg national executives to talk to vice president because North East (region) is not Ghana. NPP people think Ken Agyapong speaks anyhow..." he said before alleging an attack on his agent and importation of voters.
Thereafter his series of threats on the president, his vice and the NPP followed.
Watch how Ken transitioned into anger mode:
