Eastern Region, Ghana — New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential aspirant Ken Ohene Agyapong has called on his party to realign with the concerns of ordinary Ghanaians, saying the future of the party depends on its ability to listen and respond to the electorate.
Touring the Eastern Region, Ken Ohene Agyapong expressed concern that some within the NPP remain disconnected from public sentiment ahead of the 2026 elections.
“I am deeply surprised that some within our party still refuse to listen to the clear message Ghanaians are sending,” he said. “The people have spoken, and they are asking for a new direction.”
Ken Ohene Agyapong reflected on the party’s decline in parliamentary seats—from 169 in 2017 to 87 currently—describing it as a result of complacency and a failure to take citizens’ concerns seriously.
“We lost ground because we stopped listening,” he said. “Arrogance cost us dearly.”
He warned that the party risks dropping to 35 seats if it continues on the same path. Despite the concerns, Ken Ohene Agyapong said he is encouraged by public voices urging the NPP to choose a leader who reflects the needs and aspirations of ordinary Ghanaians.
“For the first time, it is Ghanaians everywhere who are calling on the NPP to select me as Flagbearer,” he said. “This is not about me; it is about restoring trust in the party.”
Ken Ohene Agyapong emphasized that while delegates decide internal contests, it is the broader electorate that determines national elections.
“Ghanaians will decide our future,” he said. “They are watching to see whether we will listen.”
His message, delivered with a blend of emotion and political clarity, resonated with supporters who gathered to hear him outline a vision of unity, humility, and renewed public trust.
