Ghanaian politician and former Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, has reacted to claims suggesting that he orchestrated the arrest of the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
In a video, he denied any involvement in the ongoing woes of Mr Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi and criticised persons rejoicing over the development.

He singled out a member of his campaign team, Alex Kwaku Tetteh, who openly stated that he led the security agencies to arrest Wontumi, and criticised him.
Ken Agyapong dissociated himself from the comments, stressing that he did not support them or had nothing to do with Wontumi's arrest.
"Because he's in my camp, people think I support what he did, but I don't. And besides, I'm very upset with him," the renowned politician stated.
He further called for the party to be united and urged members to stop rejoicing over each other's woes. Rather, party members should stand together since that's what can lead it to victory.

He referenced their biggest rival, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and stated that they won the 2024 elections because they were united.
"I recall during the days when Ato Forson was going to court. No member of the NDC stepped into parliament. They all wore red bands in solidarity with Ato Forson, marched to the courts, and refused to come to parliament until his hearing was over. But it's not the same with the NPP," he said in Twi.
He also recalled when it emerged that Anas had won the court case in New Jersey against him, and expressed disappointment at how some people reacted to the news. He noted that instead of party members supporting him, they rather rejoiced.

"Whether or not NPP will come to power again is up to NDC to decide. It is solely in the hands of the NDC, because we Ghanaians have already made up our minds. Even if we get tired of NDC, NPP will not be an option."
