Kennedy Agyapong Called Me On Phone – NAPO Reveals The Conversation He Had With Agyapong

Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, a Member of Parliament and former minister, has addressed speculation surrounding a private telephone conversation he recently had with fellow NPP politician Kennedy Ohene Agyapong.

He offered the explanation during an interview shared on the official Facebook page of Okatakyie Afrifa Mensah’s programme, For The Records. His comments were intended to clarify the purpose of the conversation and dismiss claims that it signalled a change in his political allegiance ahead of the New Patriotic Party’s presidential primaries.

The phone call had generated considerable discussion on social media, with some commentators suggesting that Dr. Prempeh was preparing to abandon the political camp of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and align himself with Kennedy Agyapong. The speculation raised questions about his position within the party and the possibility of political realignments ahead of the internal contest.

However, Dr. Prempeh rejected the claims, insisting that his relationship with Bawumia’s camp remained unchanged. He explained that having a conversation with Agyapong should not automatically be interpreted as an indication of political defection, stressing that members of the same party could communicate without necessarily sharing political ambitions or changing their allegiances.

According to him, the discussion was centred on personal matters and issues of mutual interest rather than political negotiations. He maintained that there was no hidden political arrangement behind the telephone conversation and that suggestions of him switching camps were entirely unfounded.

Dr. Prempeh explained that Agyapong was the person who initiated the call and that their discussion did not involve any decision to change political sides. He also emphasised that his immediate priority was to contribute to strengthening unity within the NPP rather than allowing internal disagreements to create further divisions.

He indicated that the party needed to establish a solid foundation ahead of the next general elections. In his view, bringing members together should remain a priority, regardless of the individual who eventually emerges as the party’s presidential candidate.

Dr. Prempeh further stressed that all party members must be prepared to support whichever candidate receives the endorsement of delegates through the internal electoral process. He believes that such cooperation will be essential to building a united party capable of competing effectively in the national elections.

His clarification is expected to address some of the speculation surrounding his political position and the significance of his contact with Kennedy Agyapong.
