It is reported that New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong was asked by the party’s leadership to issue an apology to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo over his his threat to give him a “showdown.”

According to the host of Me Man Nti on Neat FM, Adakabre Frimpong Manso, the Assin Central Member of Parliament outrightly refused the request which was made when he appeared before the party’s disciplinary committee.

“As a party you could not take a firm position to say Kwame Akompreko did this and that so this.

"He came before you and as elders you were asking him to go and beg the president. So if he goes to beg the president the party would not have any other initiative to take?

“Now you watch him tell it to your face that he won’t beg the president today or tomorrow. Is that not disgraceful to you?” he stated on the September 1 2023, edition of his show.

In the heat of the party’s August 26, 2023, Special Delegates Election, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, a flagbearer hopeful was captured on video throwing a tirade directed at President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia who is a contender in the flagbearer contest.

Subsequently, he was invited and subjected to a five-hour grilling marathon by the party’s disciplinary committee.
