The flagbearer hopeful for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kennedy Agyapong, has noted that any aspirant whose campaign message is rooted in how best to negotiate with the International Monetary Fund is not visionary.

According to him, any plan or campaign promise anchored on negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) amounts to failure.

In a post on his official X account on September 6, he wrote: “You want to lead Ghana, yet your main concern is who can negotiate best with the IMF? Let me be clear: If your vision for Ghana starts with a trip to the IMF, you have already failed."

Agyapong noted that his vision is to build a self-reliant economy capable of thriving without external financial support.

He said, “My vision is to build an economy so self-reliant and powerful that the IMF becomes irrelevant."

Earlier, the flagbearer pleaded with Ghanaians to allow him to lead Ghana for four years, after which they can kick him out if he fails to deliver.

Let me be clear: If your vision for Ghana starts with a trip to the IMF, you have already failed.

My vision is to build an economy so self-reliant and powerful that the IMF becomes irrelevant…
