The campaign team of Kennedy Agyapong, a flagbearer aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has said that their candidate is still in the race.
The team dismissed rumors that, just as former Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen quit the race, Mr Agyapong who placed second in the super delegates conference held on Saturday, August 26 is also withdrawing from the competition.
A statement issued by the team on Thursday, September 7 said “Our attention has been drawn to a rumor making the rounds, particularly on social media that Honourable Ken Ohene Agyapong will soon be announcing his withdrawal from the New Patriotic Party's (NPP's) Presidential primaries scheduled for November 4 this year.
“The rumor comes in the wake of the withdrawal of Honorable John Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen from the race on Monday.
“We wish to state unequivocally that Honourable Ken Ohene Agyapong is committed to staying in the race, and at no point has he contemplated withdrawing from the contest.
“We wish to assure all our teeming supporters that the Ken Ohene Agyapong campaign team is putting in place all the necessary strategies to ensure a “Showdown” come November 4.
“We therefore call on the general public especially our teeming supporters and cherished delegates of the NPP to disregard the rumor and treat with utmost contempt any news or message that purports the withdrawal of Ken from the race.”
