Ghanaians unhappy with Kennedy Agyepong’s religious and tribal hate speech against Bawumia

Kennedy Agyepong, former MP for Assin Central, is facing backlash. This follows his controversial remarks at a meeting with lawyers in Kumasi.

During the gathering, Agyepong allegedly said Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia was rejected as the NPP's 2024 flagbearer due to his Muslim faith and minority tribal background.

His comments have caused widespread outrage among party members. Many took to social media to express their disapproval.

Some party supporters criticized Agyepong’s approach. They warned that such divisive rhetoric could harm the party ahead of the 2028 elections.

Critics noted that Agyepong used a similar strategy during the NPP’s 2023 flagbearer contest. They cautioned against repeating this behavior.

One concerned member stated, “The party’s supreme interest must come before personal ambitions.”

Agyepong has declared his intention to run for the NPP's flagbearer position again. However, his recent remarks raised concerns about party unity.

Many are urging all members to prioritize cohesion over divisive rhetoric as they prepare for future elections.
