NPP flagbearer aspirant Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has been invited by the Disciplinary Committee of the party over allegedly breaching electoral rules set out by the party.
Four other persons, including a campaign team member of Alan Kyerematen, Hopeson Adorye, have also been summoned by the party of interrogation.
It is believed that Mr. Agyapong’s outburst last Saturday at the University of Cape Coast, which hosted the Central Regional Special Congress, accounted for his call-up.
Per rife footage of the incident, the vociferous Assin Central MP blasted President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr. Bawumia for allegedly disengaging his agent at the polling center.
He threatened a “showdown” with them, including causing their party to lose the 2024 general elections.
Saturday’s special electoral collage saw Dr. Bawumia win with 629 votes, followed by Mr. Agyapong with 124 votes and Alan Kyerematen with 95 votes.
Boakye Agyarko and Francis Addai-Nimoh tied at 9 votes.
The Elections Committee of the party accordingly stated that it is preparing for a runoff between the two on Saturday, September 2nd.
Below is the the press statement from the NPP
