NPP flagbearer aspirant Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has stated that former Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia holds no relevance in his life, insisting the politician “does not exist” in his world.

“I do not have time for Dr. Bawumia. In my life, he does not exist, because if he existed, I might commit a crime. That is how I see myself,” Agyapong said.

He suggested that Bawumia was behind contentious remarks attributed to the Bono Regional Chairman of the party, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, though he declined to elaborate further.

Agyapong also criticised what he described as internal manoeuvres within the party aimed at influencing the upcoming flagbearer election.

“I do not have time for them, but that does not mean they have to rig the election. I believe in the structures, and I know all the Electoral Commission officials my opponents have engaged with. They plan to use the party’s internal security to humiliate anyone who comes close,” he stated.

Recalling an earlier incident at the residence of former President Nana Akufo-Addo, Agyapong said his words had been distorted on social media.

“Some time ago, something happened at the residence of former President Akufo-Addo. I mentioned a certain man’s name; there was nobody there when I left. The next day, it was posted on social media, but I do not have anything against anybody,” he said.

In a recent interview on UTV, he expressed disappointment over what he perceives as a lack of recognition for his past contributions to the party.

“Did I not campaign for him during the recent election? After that, did he even call me to appreciate my efforts? His followers were even insulting me. The only loyal person from his camp was NAPO. I took him to my warehouse and gave out items freely. He had young boys who claimed that I never campaigned,” he stated.
