A renewed wave of internal friction has emerged within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) after Kennedy Ohene Agyapong issued a strong response to recent public statements made by former Dome-Kwabenya MP, Adwoa Safo. The development, highlighted in a video review by Critical Analyst TV, has reopened discussions surrounding leadership aspirations, party unity, and lingering tensions as the NPP looks ahead to its political future.
Kennedy Agyapong — widely known for his blunt communication style and forthright personality — challenged what he described as inaccurate and unfair claims connected to his political intentions and past interactions. He argued that the picture being painted about his leadership ambitions is incomplete and risks misleading the public about internal party history.
According to Agyapong, disagreements within the NPP should be managed responsibly rather than broadcast through public criticism that could harm the party’s collective image. While acknowledging that internal debate is normal in politics, he cautioned that continuous public confrontations only provide political opponents with ammunition.
The former presidential aspirant emphasized that his political ambitions stem from a desire to strengthen the party, restore trust among grassroots members, and push for reforms. He dismissed suggestions that his actions are driven by rivalry or personal grudges, maintaining that his outspoken nature is rooted in accountability and truthfulness.
Supporters of Agyapong, reacting through the Critical Analyst TV commentary, framed his response as both a defence of his reputation and a caution against selective narratives. They argued that unresolved grievances taken to the public arena without context can deepen mistrust and widen internal divisions.
Adwoa Safo’s remarks — which triggered the exchange — are believed to be linked to long-standing disagreements dating back to her ministerial and parliamentary tenure. While she insists her comments reflect personal experience and principle, Agyapong believes such matters should be resolved through party structures rather than public discourse.
Political observers say the situation reflects broader tensions within the NPP as multiple figures position themselves for future leadership roles. They note that internal rivalries are increasingly playing out in the media, raising concerns about unity and discipline.
Social media reactions have also been split, with some praising Agyapong for defending himself, while others feel public exchanges between senior figures damage the party’s credibility.
Despite the controversy, Agyapong reaffirmed his commitment to party cohesion and urged members to focus on rebuilding trust and preparing strategically for upcoming elections. The incident, analysts say, underscores ongoing debates about leadership direction, accountability, and communication within the NPP moving forward.
