Flagbearer hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kennedy Agyapong, has vowed not to accept the outcome of the party’s January 2026 delegates election if he is recorded zero votes in any constituency, particularly in the Northern region of Ghana.

According to Agyapong, although he is a strong advocate for peace, he cannot accept results that he believes are unfair or manipulated.

Kennedy had earlier recalled the 2023 primaries, stating that some people had shown him evidence of voting for him despite him receiving zero votes in certain areas.

He warned that if any such irregularities occur again, particularly in the northern constituencies, he would respond similarly in the southern regions.

Speaking in a video shared on social media, Agyapong said, “I’m assuring you this time, if we get zero from any constituency, we will not accept a result.

“I’m telling you, I am for peace but I’m advising them, if they give zero, let them try and see. We are all men in this party. What you do in the North, I will do it in the South. I want to state it in practical terms because it’s too much. That is too much.”

Agyapong is competing for the position against former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, former Agriculture Minister Bryan Acheampong, former Education Minister Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum and former party General Secretary Kwabena Agyei Agyepong.
