Kennedy Agyapong
New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful and former Assin Central Member of Parliament, Ken Ohene Agyapong, has reiterated his commitment to tackling unemployment as a top priority should he be given the mandate to lead the party, and eventually the nation.
Speaking during a campaign tour of the Central Region, the maverick politician made a bold promise to delegates, assuring them that empowering him would translate into real opportunities for the youth.
Addressing enthusiastic party supporters and delegates, Mr. Agyapong declared: “Give me power and I will give you jobs.”
He stressed that the country’s biggest challenge is unemployment, especially among the youth, and insisted that his experience as a job creator in the private sector places him ahead of other contenders.
According to him, political leadership should not be about delivering flowery speeches but demonstrating the capacity to transform lives through practical economic solutions. He noted that over the years, he has personally established businesses that employ thousands of Ghanaians, and he intends to replicate this effort on a national scale.
Mr. Agyapong also highlighted the need for visionary leadership that prioritises industrialisation, entrepreneurship, and skills development.
He told delegates that with strategic investments in agriculture, manufacturing, and technology, the country could drastically reduce its unemployment rate.
The delegates, many of whom expressed admiration for his frankness and track record, listened attentively as he outlined his vision. He encouraged them to choose a leader with proven capacity to generate wealth rather than one who makes promises without evidence of delivery.
Mr. Agyapong’s message in the Central Region forms part of his ongoing campaign to win the confidence of party delegates ahead of the upcoming primaries. His promise to create jobs continues to resonate strongly, particularly in communities where unemployment remains a major concern.
As the campaign intensifies, all eyes are on how his message will influence delegate decisions and shape the broader political conversation on economic empowerment.
