On November 9, 2023, news surfaced about Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia ‘s strategic visit to Kennedy Agyapong, his main contender in the New Patriotic Party’s presidential primaries on November 4. The visit aimed to address issues and secure Agyapong’s active participation in the upcoming 2024 elections.
The Daily Guide, branding it a “calculated political move,” reported that the meeting which Bawumia visits Ken Agyapong , conducted over dinner, sought to strengthen the bond between the influential figures and foster collaboration for the nation’s benefit as the 2024 elections loomed.
Despite government communicators proclaiming the meeting’s success and an agreement on election strategies, Kessben FM’s political analyst, Nana Frimpong Zeiga, challenged these claims. Citing Kennedy Agyapong ’s brother and lawyer, Ralph Agyapong, as his source, Zeiga suggested that the meeting’s outcome may not be as positive as portrayed.
According to Zeiga, Kennedy Agyapong, though agreeing to support Bawumia ‘s campaign, presented conditions that proved challenging for the Bawumia team to fulfill. Allegedly, Agyapong insisted on specific exclusions from Bawumia ‘s team, including Ursula Owusu, Hawa Koomson, Dennis Miracles, Wontumi, and Adomako-Baafi.
The deadlock arose as Agyapong seemed unwavering in his stance towards Bawumia, indicating that unless his conditions were met, he wouldn’t actively participate in any NPP campaign. This revelation challenged the earlier narrative of a successful meeting.
Meanwhile, Ralph Agyapong, Kennedy Agyapong ‘s brother and campaign spokesperson, hinted at the possibility that Agyapong might look beyond the 2024 presidential campaign and refrain from engaging in Bawumia ‘s bid. Citing events leading up to the November 4 election, Ralph suggested that Agyapong might find it more prudent to distance himself from the Bawumia campaign.

Ralph highlighted concerns about certain individuals in Bawumia ‘s team, specifically mentioning Adomako Baafi and Miracles Aboagye, whom he believed were not compatible with Agyapong ‘s campaigning style. He insinuated that Agyapong ‘s decision would be driven by personal considerations, and the future involvement in the party’s campaigns might be reassessed for the 2028 elections.
