Pollster and Editor-In-Chief of the Daily Dispatch Newspaper, Ben Epson, has predicted that there is a high possibility of a second coming by the suspended General Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwabena Agyapong.

The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the NPP in December 2015 upheld a decision by the party's disciplinary committee to suspend its General Secretary Kwabena Agyapong. Consequently, the National Organizer of the NPP is currently acting as the General Secretary of the party.

According to Ben Ephson, although Mr Agyapong may have been shortlisted for an appointment into public office, he would want to fight his way to contest the position when nominations are opened.

However, he is likely to face tough competition from the immediate past General Secretary of the party, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, aka Sir John and the National Organiser, John Boadu “who has acted as General Secretary for the past two years and brought the party to power.”

Agyapong’s comeback, according to Ephson, will be subject to the lifting of his suspension together with that of the National Chairman, Paul Afoko and the 2nd National Vice Chairman of the party, Sammy Crabbe.

In an interview with Kasapa FM, today, Ben Ephson said information available to him suggests that the suspension of the trio (Kwabena Agyapong, Paul Afoko and Sammy Crabbe) will be lifted before nominations are opened.

“I am sure with all the three giving their weaknesses and strengths, the delegates will give it to John Boadu who has acted in that capacity and won power for the party. He has worked hard for it so why not?” 

The NPP has fixed the Party’s 2017 National Delegates’ Conference for the 25th to 27th of August, 2017 in Cape Coast.
