New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful Kennedy Agyapong has stated his stance on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI+) activities.

According to him, such practises have no place within the confines of his household.

Speaking in an interview on Starr FM on October 5, 2023, Kennedy Agyapong posited that he is a traditionalist, and as a result, such activities contradict his standards.

He was asked by host Bola Ray: "If one of your children comes over to you and says he or she now identifies as gay, what will be your reaction or response?"

Ken responded, "Look, I am a traditionalist. I don't want to hear that nonsense."

When asked to repeat his response, Agyapong reinforced his stance by reiterating, "I am a traditionist, case closed."

"So, if they should come to you and identify as gay?" The host asked again.

To this, Agyapong responded with a tone of finality, "You dare not, case closed. I am a traditionalist; you dare not."

In Ghana, there is significant public support for LGBTQ+ practises, even as an anti-gay bill aiming to criminalise LGBTQ+ activities is currently under consideration by the Ghanaian parliament.

Kennedy Agyapong is set to compete for the flagbearership alongside three other contenders: Dr. Bawumia, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, and Francis Addai-Nimoh.

The NPP has scheduled November 4, 2023, as the date to choose a successor to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as the party's leader.
