Lawyer Kofi Bentil has praised Kennedy Agyapong for his effective campaign as a flagbearer aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). However, Bentil has raised concerns that Agyapong's approach may also pose a threat to the party.

In a statement issued on Facebook on November 3, 2023, Bentil acknowledged Agyapong's commendable campaign efforts but cautioned that his strategies could potentially disrupt the party's unity. "Ken Agyepong has run a very effective campaign. For that, he deserves kudos. Whether he proved that he was the better choice is where he fell short in my view," Bentil asserted.

"He has made himself a threat to the NPP, but surely he can pivot and be an asset to the NPP. That’s what he should do," Bentil advised, sharing a post that showcased Agyapong with Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia and other aspirants.

The two politicians had their last encounter at the NPP headquarters in Accra on November 2. Along with two other contenders, they signed an agreement of comradeship to maintain decorum during and after the party's primary elections.

Bentil expressed his hope for a peaceful election, emphasising the importance of the outcome reflecting the people's will: "We all pray for a peaceful election tomorrow so it will be what the choice of the people are. When it’s said and done May Ghana win," he concluded.

Kennedy Agyapong is in the race for the flagbearer position alongside three other candidates, including Dr Bawumia, Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto, and Francis-Addai-Nimoh.

The NPP is set to hold its primary on November 4, 2023, to elect a successor to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and to steer the party's direction ahead of the general elections in 2024.
