According to a report by GhanaWeb, Charles Bissue, the Director of Operations for Kennedy Agyapong’s campaign team, has emphasized that the politician’s appeal in Ghanaian politics stems from his personal character rather than a regional stronghold.
Speaking on Channel One TV, Bissue noted that Agyapong, a hopeful for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer position, attracts support nationwide because of his reputation for discipline, integrity, and transparency.
According to Bissue, voters across different regions recognize these qualities and are drawn to him, making his backing a “character-driven” phenomenon rather than one tied to geography, despite his roots in the Central Region.
Bissue highlighted that many floating voters—those unaffiliated with any political party—as well as some members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), have expressed interest in Agyapong’s leadership.
This, he explained, reflects genuine grassroots support that is not influenced by government pressure or political coercion.
Expressing confidence in Agyapong’s prospects, Bissue suggested that if he becomes the NPP flagbearer, he has strong potential to win the presidency in the next election.
“I have done a lot of research, and I think that when we actually bring Kennedy forward, Ghanaians will vote for him. Last time we were somewhere, and even NDC, and then most of the floating voters were asking for him,” he said.
The campaign team believes that the widespread admiration for his integrity and straightforward approach could translate into significant voter turnout across the country.
The New Patriotic Party is scheduled to hold its presidential primary in January 2026 to select its flagbearer for the upcoming general elections.
