Member of Parliament for Assin North, Kennedy Agyapong, during a recent visit to the Ashanti Region to help in Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia's campaign, had a confrontation with New Patriotic Party (NPP) members.

In a widely circulated video on social media, Agyapong can be seen seated in the front of his car in the Kwabre East constituency, while individuals believed to be his backers expressed discontent over the region's developmental shortcomings.

"Since 1992, we have voted for the NPP but haven't benefited in any meaningful way," one said before another joined: "You are the very one that we want.

We will die of hunger if you leave us behind; we will suffer."

"If we vote NDC and they don't develop this area, it is no news; but to vote NPP and suffer such neglect is unfair for an area said to be a municipality; what is the evidence?" another asked.

The NPP considers the Ashanti Region a stronghold crucial for securing sufficient votes to surpass the 8.

Vice President Bawumia, the NPP's 2024 presidential candidate, concluded a successful three-day campaign tour of the region.

Bawumia emerged victorious in the NPP flagbearership contest late last year, prevailing over Agyapong and other contenders.
