I’m bitter because MPs I supported betrayed me –Ken Agyapong

Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, the outspoken Member of Parliament for Assin Central, expressed his disappointment with the treatment he received during the 2023 New Patriotic Party (NPP) Presidential Primary. In an interview with KSM on Pan Africa Television, he revealed that he felt hurt by the insults he received from fellow MPs, especially those he considered close friends and had supported financially in their parliamentary campaigns.

The firebrand lawmaker, Agyapong clarified that while he respected the MPs’ right to choose their preferred candidate, it was the personal attacks and betrayal from individuals he had helped that fueled his bitterness, not Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s victory.

Despite securing 71,996 votes, representing 37.41%, Agyapong ultimately lost to Dr. Bawumia, who emerged as the party’s flagbearer with 118,210 votes, accounting for 61.47% of the total votes.
