The chairman of Ghana’s main opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has warned that there will be lawlessness in Ghana should Kennedy Agyapong be elected president in the 2024 general elections.
Kennedy Agyapong, in Asiedu Nketia’s opinion, does not respect the laws of the country.
He claims that the NPP presidential candidate aspirant believes in violently attacking people who disagree with his decisions rather than allowing the laws to work, which is harmful to the country’s democracy.
“When Kennedy Agyapong had his issues with Wontumi and Wontumi said he would report him to the police, Kennedy Agyapong’s response was that he is a woman, which is why he is resorting to the police. He said he would prepare for him.
For someone who wants to become president, you should rather be ensuring that the rule of law works, but that was not what Kennedy Agyapong said. He said he would prepare and face him squarely.
So if some of their people have prepared and gone to face UTV, then it’s a culture in their political party. Draw your conclusions from his utterances. He says if you do something, he will not report you to the police or soldiers but rather prepare and face you. We will then have a president who will be seen in public fighting his enemies,” he said.
He further noted that even under the current leadership of the New Patriotic Party, of which he’s an active member, individuals are treated with impunity because not everybody is equal before the law.
