Ken Agyapong withdraws from ''Bawumia's Thank You Tour” after supporter stabbing incident

Ken Agyapong has withdrawn from the New Patriotic Party’s “Thank You Tour.” This decision follows reports of a stabbing incident in Kumasi. One of his supporters was allegedly attacked by a man described as a “macho.” The attacker is reportedly linked to Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia’s camp.

The incident raised concerns about security and tensions within the party. It occurred during an NPP event, prompting Agyapong to reconsider his participation. Local police are still investigating the stabbing, and details remain unconfirmed.

Despite withdrawing from the tour, Agyapong will speak today at Ark Plaza in Kumasi at 7:30 a.m. He plans to address the incident and explain his withdrawal. He will also discuss the need for better security at political events.

Party insiders say the alleged connection of the assailant to Bawumia's camp is increasing tensions. However, further verification from law enforcement is still pending. This situation has sparked debate among party members about supporter safety and political conduct.

Authorities are looking into the matter. Both police and party officials promise to expedite their inquiry into the attack. Political analysts warn that this incident could impact the party’s image and future public events.

Agyapong's remarks today are highly anticipated. They may shed light on internal party dynamics and safety measures for political gatherings.
