Ernest Owusu-Bempah, the Deputy Communications Director of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has that history will never be kind to the NPP if they don’t listen to the people on the ground.
He claimed that ordinary Ghanaians want the former Member of Parliament for Assin Central Kennedy Agyapong as flagbearer.
According to Ernest Owusu-Bempah, the people in Suame Magazine, Kejetia, and taxi drivers want somebody Kennedy Agyapong.
Speaking in an interview on Oyerepa TV on April 15, 2025, Ernest Owusu-Bempah stated, “I have been working with some great leaders in this country, and I can recognize a leader when I see one.
Nobody can take my views for granted. I know what I am talking about: a leader who connects with ordinary people. Go and find out from the people in Suame Magazine, Kejetia, and taxi drivers; they want somebody like him (Kennedy Agyapong)”.
He further added, “Ghanaians are yearning for the truth, someone who will tell them the truth. I have listened to what Ghanaians are saying, and they are calling on him to come forward. Some of them say he is disciplined, a good candidate, and the right choice.
“History will never be kind to the NPP if they don’t listen to the people on the ground”, Ernest Owusu Bempah stated boldly.
Meanwhile, Ernest Owusu-Bempah, in that same interview boldly claimed 2.1 million Ghanaians did not vote because of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
According to him, the NPP grassroots was disillusioned by the leadership’s choice, leading them to abstain from voting.
He revealed that a Taxi driver who is an NPP member boldly told him he voted for NDC because the NPP did not present the right candidate.
Ernest Owusu-Bempah stated, “There are so many things going on in this country when you look at the youth they are losing interest in politics.
For the first time, I met a taxi driver who is a member of NPP who told me that he voted for the NDC in the 2024 election, he showed me his party card, and the reason was that we didn’t take the right candidate for him to come and vote for and this are evidence on the ground. God is my witness it is not a joke”.
He added, “We are listening to the ordinary Ghanaian people what they are saying, what I say is what people are saying not my opinion. The future of the NPP depends on these two people. I was in New York I was almost heckled by the Ghanaian community in New York. They say when they advise us we don’t listen, we should bring Kennedy Agyapong and they will vote for him.
Go down there with a hidden camera and ask the ordinary people why they refused to vote. 2.1 million decided not to go and vote, 2.1 million, do you think it is a joke? NPP party base, supporters refused to vote, do you know what that means?”, he added.
