A hopeful presidential aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Ing Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, will conclude his nationwide tour on Tuesday, August 22nd, by meeting with Super Delegates of the Ashanti Region in Kumasi.
His 9-day journey covered various locations, including Accra, Dambai, Ho, Takoradi, Cape Coast, Techiman, Sunyani, and Goaso. The purpose of the tour was to engage with the party's delegates ahead of the NPP Super Delegates Conference scheduled for Saturday, August 26.
While addressing delegates in the Oti Region, Agyepong reiterated his commitment to lead a streamlined and efficient government should he be elected as the country's President.
He further expounded on his 6 Point Plan, emphasizing his determination to reduce wastefulness in public procurement by ensuring optimal Value For Money. Agyepong also noted that his vision of ushering in a "NEW DAWN" has been positively received by the general populace.
“If I’m blessed to have the opportunity to be President, I’ll be substantially different. I don’t see why there should be a Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs or Ministry of Chieftaincy. It used to be a Secretariat at the Presidency.”
“So there are many things I want to see cut, especially when we are going through very tough economic times. It is not the quantum of money you save by reducing the number of Ministries per se but it is the strong moral message you send to the country that as government we’re tightening our belt, leading by example, and walking the talk,” he said.
At Ho in the Volta Region, Ing Agyepong called on the delegates to eschew materialism, resist the monetization of politics, instead he entreated them to vote for values, virtues, principles and reward long dedicated service to our great party. He told delegates that they have a sacred responsibility to deliver a brighter future to generations unborn.
Ing Agyepong added that if elected President he will demonstrate exemplary leadership in order to carry the country along as we implement austerity measures to set the economy back on a path of sustainable growth.
“Its time for a drastic departure from the status quo, business as usual and more of the same will not work for the Npp in 2024” he told the delegates.
Meeting the delegates of the Central Region in Cape Coast the aspirant insisted that the party needs a lease of new life by electing a Flagbearer who represents a NEW DAWN in order to enhance the party’s chances of winning the elusive third consecutive term in the 2024 general elections.
Ing Kwabena Agyei Agyepong who was Press Secretary to President JA Kufuor and a former NPP General Secretary maintained that he has the skills set and relevant experience to help retain power for the party.
“We need an energetic and decisive leader to reconnect with our party base and earn the trust of the Ghanaian people. I humbly submit that I offer that hope of a fresh start for Ghana.”
