Kennedy Agyapong to face disciplinary committee over “showdown” threats to Akufo-Addo, Bawumia

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has stated its intention to summon Kennedy Ohene Agyapong before the disciplinary committee, in response to threats and accusations he made against President Akufo-Addo and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia during the Special Delegates Conference on Saturday.

Mr. Agyapong, who is the Member of Parliament for Assin Central, is seen in a widely shared video threatening the two leaders over attacks on his agents.

He was heard saying, “President Akufo-Addo, I will give you a showdown in this country, I swear to God. Vice President, I will give you a showdown for chasing my agent away. I swear to God. You will hear what will happen here. I swear to God, I will challenge President Akufo-Addo big time.”

Mr. Agyapong will be called before the Disciplinary Committee to explain his threats, according to a statement released on Sunday by the NPP General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong.

Four other people will also be called to appear before the party’s disciplinary committee for misconduct.

“Pursuant to Article 10(7)(5) of the NPP Constitution, certain individuals namely: Mr. Raphael Patrick Sarfo, Mr. Charles Dokyi Yaw-Addo, Mr. Musa Sulemana and Mr. Hopeson Yaovi Adorye will be referred to the Party’s Disciplinary Committee. This is a direct response to evidence, including video and photographic materials, which suggests potential violations of the provisions outlined in Article 3(5)(A) of the Party’s Constitution and potential misconduct under Article 4(7)”, the statement read.

“Emphasis must also be placed on the fact that Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, pursuant to the above-mentioned constitutional provisions, will also be summoned before the Disciplinary Committee of the Party to provide responses and further details to the accusations and threats he made against certain personalities in a video that has since gone viral on social media and mainstream media.”
