Effutu Member of Parliament and Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has praised Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong, for his caring nature despite being perceived as self-conceited.

Afenyo-Markin highlighted Agyapong's gentle soul and noted that he often extends care to several individuals.

However, Afenyo-Markin pointed out that Agyapong becomes guarded when people he has helped in the past turn their backs on him when he needs them the most. This observation came in light of Agyapong's bid for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearership, during which some of his colleagues in Parliament openly campaigned against him.

"I told a lot of colleagues who were openly declaring that it’s not the right way because a lot of them had relationships with Kennedy. He had supported them and didn’t expect that they would openly campaign against him," Afenyo-Markin said.

He also highlighted Agyapong's forgiving nature, stating, "Kennedy easily forgives, but he can go through serious emotions when he feels that you’ve betrayed him."

Mr Agyapong himself has expressed similar sentiments, indicating that he harbors no ill will towards individuals who did not support him but feels hurt by friends who betrayed him during the flagbearership contest.

During the NPP Presidential Primaries, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong garnered 71,996 votes, representing 37.41% of the votes, while Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia emerged victorious with 118,210 votes, accounting for 61.47%, securing his position as the party's flagbearer.
