The former New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for the Assin Central Constituency in the Central Region, who is also a business tycoon, has predicted that the NPP will definitely come back to power in 2028 to implement its good policies for Ghanaians.
He has, therefore, encouraged the rank and file of the party not to be discouraged but rather come together to embark on an aggressive campaign.
Some scenes from the event
The former MP made the appeal at KNUST- TESCON branch of NPP General Meeting and Freshers Orientation held at the Law Auditorium, KNUST, Kumasi, on Sunday, 30th March 2025.
The event brought together a number of former NPP MPs, current NPP MPs, and regional and national executives to inspire the students after the massive defeat of the NPP in 2024.
He said even though the 2028 general election battle would not be easy, with unity of purpose and TESCON members taking a centre stage in the campaign, surely, the NPP would recapture power from the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He said the need for the NPP to take key lessons from the 2024 defeat, reflect and come back stronger can’t be overemphasised.
“So I’m beginning on behalf of the NPP for TESCON members and all members of NPP to forgive one another…If anyone has wronged me, I forgive the person and if I have also wronged anyone, I’m begging for forgiveness. Let’s put behind all mistakes that led to the 2024 defeat and forge ahead on things that can help us recapture power.
The NDC, ahead of the 2024 elections, promised you heaven and in just three months, Ghanaians are realising that the NDC has nothing better to offer them,” he added.
Mr. Agyapong, who solely took care of the cost of the event, also donated GH¢20,000 for the payment of the admission fees of the fresh students as KNUST–TESCON members.
Dr. Emmanuel Amankwah, a senior lecturer of KNUST and a patron of KNUST–TESCON, heaped praises on Mr. Agyapong for his continued encouragement and support to TESCON members.
Dr. Amankwah, aka Amankay, also acknowledged and thanked the executives of TESCON for their hard work and contributions to the party.
He revealed that the TESCON KNUST was building a fund geared towards facilitating their activities, and he started with GH¢2,000.
Dr Amankay, as he is affectionately called, appealed to the leadership of the NPP to allow
all TESCON executives to cast their votes in deciding who leads the party in their internal elections instead of two representatives from each institution.
On his part, Master Godfrey Frimpong, KNUST TESCON President, reminded the members as well as all NPP supporters that opposition was not retirement but for restructuring.
He appealed to the leadership of the party to support them so as to mobilise more members for the party ahead of the 2028 polls.
Besides, he called on the party to give voting rights to TESCON members in the party’s internal process to enable the members to have more representation in the decision-making process.
