Flagbearer hopeful for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Ing. Kwabena Agyepong, has described as propaganda claims that the street is clamouring for one of the aspirants in the flagbearership race.
According to him, the street cannot decide who to lead the New Patriotic Party, but rather, members of the political party.
He says that after the party has decided, then they will go to the people to sell their candidate and the message and not the other way round.
Kwabena Agyepong was speaking on Kumasi-based Pure Fm when he made this known.
“They say mechanics and market women say we should bring one candidate, but that should not be the case. The party is ours, and so the party will choose their candidate, and afterwards, the party will market its candidate. They say we should bring the one Ghanaians are clamouring for but how did you know this is the one Ghanaians are clamouring for?
We are a political party, there is something called leadership. The five of us have to contest and after contesting, we will go to the people of Ghana with the candidate we have chosen and sell his strengths to the people. There is propaganda that the streets wants one candidate and if that’s the case then there is no leadership. If that is the case then we should go and bring Shatta Wale because he’s the popular one and has the numbers,” he stated.
