Speaking in an interview on Starr FM on October 5, 2023, he highlighted two crucial factors that could make Alan Kyerematen a significant contender in the upcoming election.
Firstly, he pointed out that Kyerematen enjoys considerable popularity among the Ghanaian electorate, which extends beyond party lines.
He also suggested that Kyerematen's personality and appeal could resonate with voters in a way that benefits his independent candidacy.
Agyapong further argued that Kyerematen's Ashanti background could be a decisive factor in the election.
"Look in the Ashanti Region; they are just deceiving themselves. Look, when they see Bawumia here, Alan here, Mahama here, Alan will sweep the vote...let me tell you, Alan's personality, besides Ashanti, people love him, the way he is, people love him,” he said.
Agyapong will contest for the flagbearership slot of the NPP along with three other contenders including Vice president Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto and Francis Addai-Nimoh.
The NPP has slated November 4, 2023, to elect a successor to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as leader of the party.
