We'll break no 8, NPP is headed for opposition - Ken Agyapong supporter declares

A supporter of Kennedy Agyapong in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearership race has stated that the party is headed into opposition.

The unnamed woman, in a video shared by Accra-based Metro TV, was captured at the Central Regional voting center for the August 26 Super Delegates Conference.

"They are idiots," she said of delegates who ensured that Bawumia won the region despite the candidature of Ken Agyapong, who is a Member of Parliament from the region.

"We will go into relegation (opposition), like Wise and Hasaacas, we are going on relegation... Break the 8? There is nothing to break.

"People are suffering in this country, we (supporters) cannot even defend the party, we are always ashamed," she lamented.

Asked whether she did not believe in Bawumia as a flagbearer, she responded: "he was part of those that created the mess, he was in the bus that has entered a ditch, how can such a person rescue us?" she quizzed.
