Supporters of Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, a lost presidential candidate from the New Patriotic Party (NPP), have launched a new campaign called 'Ghana Needs P.H.D. 2024'. The campaign intends to increase public support for Agyapong's independent candidacy in the 2024 elections.
Agyapong, the Member of Parliament for Assin Central, has been persuaded by his supporters to run as an independent candidate. He has yet to respond to the call.
This development follows Agyapong's defeat in the NPP presidential primaries. His followers feel he is capable of leading the country and are ready to see him run in the elections.
It is unclear whether Agyapong would obey his supporters' desire to run as an independent candidate. One thing is certain: the 2024 elections have just become a lot more fascinating.
In a related incident, Agyapong has already asked NPP members to forgive the party's leadership. It's unclear how this will effect his choice to run as an independent candidate.
What are your thoughts? Should Ken Agyapong run in the 2024 elections as an independent? Please share your ideas in the comments section.
