The Communication Directorate of Kennedy Agyapong’s Campaign Team has firmly rejected any attempt to portray the New Patriotic Party’s upcoming presidential primary as a battlefield, emphasizing that the process must be guided by peace, unity, and strict adherence to laid-down rules and regulations.
Addressing a press conference in Kumasi on Thursday, January 29,2026, Kwaku Amoh Dateh, Director of Communications for Team Kennedy, declared that Kennedy Ohene Agyepong remains irrevocably committed to peace before, during and after the January 31, 2026, presidential primary.
“Our primary is not a war front,” he said. “Kennedy Agyepong is the embodiment of peace, unity and development. He represents destiny, job creation and national development, and that is what will ultimately secure victory for the party and the nation.”
Amoh Dateh stressed that the forthcoming primary is strictly about respecting party structures, rules and procedures, appealing to all stakeholders to act responsibly to protect the integrity of the process.
He disclosed that voting is expected to commence at exactly 7:00am and close at 2:00pm and appealed to delegates to remain vigilant throughout the exercise.
“Delegates must be alert,” he cautioned. “Ensure that your ballot papers are properly stamped, verify that your vote is correctly cut, and cast your ballot wisely. Every single vote matters.”
“We want it clearly stated on record that no delegate can be expunged from the voters’ register for voting for Kennedy Agyepong,” Amoh Dateh asserted. “Such statements are purely meant to intimidate our supporters, but they will not succeed.”
He took the opportunity to commend the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) and the Ghana Police Service for what he described as their “unflinching commitment” to safeguarding peace and order during the internal party elections.
“We applaud the IGP for prioritising the welfare of the party and ensuring a peaceful environment for the conduct of the January 31 primary,” he observed.
In a confident tone, Amoh Dateh declared that Kennedy Agyepong’s growing popularity and message of development and job creation have already resonated with party delegates nationwide.
“Kennedy Agyepong has already won in the hearts and minds of the delegates,” he said. “That is why these desperate tactics are emerging. But let it be known that nothing can intimidate Team Kennedy.”
He ended his address by reiterating Kennedy Agyepong’s vision of a united NPP capable of winning the 2028 general elections, emphasizing that peace must prevail regardless of the outcome of the primary.
