In an interview with Adakabre Frimpong Manso on Neat FM on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, Dr. Koranteng stated that the former Assin Central MP’s public outbursts, divisive remarks, and contradictory stance were the primary causes of the party’s electoral decline.
Agyapong’s political actions and divisive remarks in the run-up to the elections, according to Dr. Koranteng, undermined party unity and public trust.
“He cannot absolve himself of blame. Many of his actions and inactions had a damaging effect on the party’s fortunes,” he noted.
He further criticised Agyapong for losing his own parliamentary seat, a rare occurrence among high-profile party leaders. “Every serious leader exiting Parliament ensures their party retains the seat.
Kennedy Agyapong is the only MP whose seat flipped to the opposition, now the ruling party.
That should tell Ghanaians something,” he added.
Discussing the topic “The Loss of the NPP in the 2024
Elections, the Prospects of the Party in 2028, and Restoring the UP Tradition”, Dr Koranteng pointed out that despite Agyapong’s boasts about his wealth and influence in the Central Region, the NPP lost a significant number of seats there.
“This is someone who claims to have bankrolled the party, but on the other hand, complains of being neglected, while also telling supporters he was awarded lucrative contracts.
“These contradictions created confusion and eroded trust within the party,” Dr. Koranteng said.
He challenged Ghanaians to consider Agyapong’s involvement and its wider effects on the internal dynamics and national appeal of the NPP.
