Mr. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, a prominent figure in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and a hopeful for the party’s flagbearer position, has provided further context to his widely discussed “showdown” comment made during the Special Delegates Conference on Saturday.
A viral video captured his strong reaction, which has been a topic of speculation and interpretation.
Taking to Twitter, the Member of Parliament for Assin Central justified his reaction by emphasizing that it was a response to perceived injustice that posed a threat to the safety of his polling station agent in the North East region. He tweeted, “I reacted against injustice and that saved the life of GANIU one of my polling station agents in North East. #ShowDown.”
This clarification comes in the wake of Agyapong’s extended discussion with the NPP’s elections committee regarding concerns that arose during the special delegates conference.
