The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced its intention to summon flagbearer aspirant Kennedy Agyapong before the party’s disciplinary committee over his threats directed towards President Akufo-Addo and vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia during the Special Delegates Conference on Saturday, 26th August, 2023.
In a video which is trending on social media, Hon Kennedy Agyapong is was heard saying, “President Akufo-Addo, I will give you a showdown in this country, I swear to God. Vice President, I will give you a showdown for chasing my agent away. I swear to God. You will hear what will happen here. I swear to God, I will challenge President Akufo-Addo big time.”
According to a statement signed by NPP General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong on Sunday indicated that Mr Agyapong will be called before the Disciplinary Committee to justify his threats.
“Pursuant to Article 10(7)(5) of the NPP Constitution, certain individuals namely: Mr. Raphael Patrick Sarfo, Mr. Charles Dokyi Yaw-Addo, Mr. Musa Sulemana and Mr. Hopeson Yaovi Adorye will be referred to the Party’s Disciplinary Committee. This is a direct response to evidence, including video and photographic materials, which suggests potential violations of the provisions outlined in Article 3(5)(A) of the Party’s Constitution and potential misconduct under Article 4(7).
“Emphasis must also be placed on the fact that Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, pursuant to the above-mentioned constitutional provisions, will also be summoned before the Disciplinary Committee of the Party to provide responses and further details to the accusations and threats he made against certain personalities in a video that has since gone viral on social media and mainstream media.”
