Speculation is heating up over Kennedy Agyapong’s possible running mate for the 2028 presidential race, with social media users engaged in lively debate about who best complements the outspoken MP. The conversation surged on Saturday, August 9, 2025, after Oman Media invited its Facebook followers to propose ideal partners for Agyapong’s campaign.
Among the most frequently mentioned names are Alan Kyerematen, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, Kwame Bediako (Cheddar), Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO), and Mohammed Amin Adam. Each of these figures brings something distinctive to the ticket: Kyerematen’s record in trade and governance, Afenyo-Markin’s youthful energy and debating prowess, Cheddar’s entrepreneurial appeal to younger voters, NAPO’s political experience, and Amin Adam’s northern roots and economic expertise.
While Agyapong’s Central Region origin may prompt calls for regional diversity, several of these candidates could balance the ticket in different ways. Analysts suggest that Cheddar’s outsider status could help attract independent voters, while retaining NAPO might strengthen internal party cohesion. Amin Adam’s strong background in petroleum economics and his influence in northern Ghana could also make him a strategic pick to expand the NPP’s electoral reach.
As the 2028 elections near, commentators agree that Agyapong’s vice-presidential choice will carry enormous political weight. The eventual selection, they argue, could either consolidate the NPP’s base or redefine its national appeal, making it one of the most anticipated political decisions ahead of the next polls.
