A member of the campaign team of Kennedy Agyapong, Ernest Kofi Owusu-Bempah Bonsu, has said that Ken Agyapong’s track record in business and public service shows a relentless drive to turn ideas into tangible results; therefore, he should be voted for by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) delegates to become the flagbearer.
Owusu-Bempah said that Ken Agyapong understands that development is not a lecture but a hands‑on exercise—building roads, creating jobs, and empowering entrepreneurs.
“Ghana stands at a crossroads. The challenges we face—unemployment, under‑investment, and a lingering sense of “business as usual”—demand a leader who can walk the talk, not merely recite theories from a textbook. That leader is Kennedy Agyapong,” he wrote in a statement.
“We cannot afford another era of rhetoric without results. The youth of Ghana deserve a leader who will turn the country’s vast potential into palpable prosperity. Kennedy Agyapong offers that promise—a blend of entrepreneurial spirit, political experience, and a genuine commitment to uplift every Ghanaian.
“Let us rally behind a leader who can steer Ghana onto a path of sustainable growth, just as Deng, Mahathir, Lincoln, and Churchill did for their nations. The future of our youth—and the future of Ghana—depends on it,” he added.

Ghana’s Youth Deserve a Transformational Leader Like Kennedy Agyapong
Ghana stands at a crossroads. The challenges we face—unemployment, under‑investment, and a lingering sense of “business as usual”—demand a leader who can walk the talk, not merely recite theories from a textbook. That leader is Kennedy Agyapong.
A Visionary, Not a Theorist
Unlike the “bedroom economists” who speak in abstractions, Kennedy Agyapong is a man of action. His track record in business and public service shows a relentless drive to turn ideas into tangible results. He understands that development is not a lecture but a hands‑on exercise—building roads, creating jobs, and empowering entrepreneurs.
Lessons from History’s Great Reformers
If we look to history, we see figures who reshaped their nations through decisive, pragmatic leadership:
– Deng Xiaoping – transformed China from a closed economy into the world’s second‑largest, proving that bold reforms can lift billions out of poverty.
– Mahathir Mohamad – guided Malaysia from a developing nation to an emerging economic powerhouse, emphasising infrastructure, education, and industry.
– Abraham Lincoln – preserved the Union and ended slavery, showing that moral conviction combined with political skill can redefine a nation’s destiny.
– Winston Churchill – steadied Britain through its darkest hours with resolve, vision, and an unwavering belief in the country’s capacity to prevail.
Kennedy Agyapong embodies the same blend of vision, pragmatism, and relentless energy. He is the kind of leader who, when faced with a problem, asks, “What can we do today to move forward?” rather than waiting for a perfect plan that never arrives.
A Leader Who Walks the Talk
Ghana’s youth need a “can‑do” leader—someone who will:
– Create real jobs by attracting foreign investment and supporting local SMEs.
– Upgrade critical infrastructure—roads, energy, and digital connectivity—to make Ghana a competitive hub in Africa.
– Reform education and skills training so that our young people are equipped for the jobs of tomorrow.
– Champion good governance that is transparent, accountable, and free from the grip of patronage.
The Time Is Now
We cannot afford another era of rhetoric without results. The youth of Ghana deserve a leader who will turn the country’s vast potential into palpable prosperity. Kennedy Agyapong offers that promise—a blend of entrepreneurial spirit, political experience, and a genuine commitment to uplift every Ghanaian.
Let us rally behind a leader who can steer Ghana onto a path of sustainable growth, just as Deng, Mahathir, Lincoln, and Churchill did for their nations. The future of our youth—and the future of Ghana—depends on it.
Fellow Delegates and patriots the hour is now CHOOSE A CAN DO LEADER who can win power for the npp in 2028
