Former Assin Central MP Hon Ken Ohene Agyapong has called for unity within the New Patriotic Party (NPP), urging party members to put past grievances behind them and focus on collective progress.
Speaking at an event to welcome new members of the Tertiary Students Confederacy (TESCON) at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) on Sunday, 30 March, Hon Ken Agyapong acknowledged that political engagements often lead to misunderstandings but stressed the importance of forgiveness.
The affable entrepreneur, who placed second in the 2024 NPP flagbearership contest, extended an apology to anyone who may have felt wronged by his actions or words.
His remarks come as the NPP starts rebuilding efforts for the 2028 general elections, with a focus on party cohesion and mobilizing grassroots support.
The 6-term legislator urged student members of the Tertiary Students Confederacy (TESCON) to take an active role in campaigning for the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The meeting brought together sitting and former MPs, parliamentary candidates, regional and national executives, and prominent figures within the party.
Earlier, Hon Ken Agyapong donated GHC 950,000 to victims of the Adum Market fire disaster, offering both financial support and security infrastructure to aid in recovery efforts.
The donation includes 200 streetlights valued at GHC 850,000 to improve security in the area and a cash donation of GHC 100,000 to provide immediate relief to traders who lost their goods and stalls in the blaze.
During a visit to the fire scene on Saturday (29 March), the businessman sympathized with the affected traders, urging them to focus on rebuilding rather than dwelling on their losses.
Mr. Agyapong also advised victims against politicizing their operations, stressing the importance of unity in overcoming the crisis.
This is not the first time the former lawmaker has extended such support. In a similar gesture, he previously donated GHC 100,000 to victims of the Kantamanto fire on Friday (28 March).
The Adum fire has left many traders struggling to restart their businesses. However, with contributions from individuals like Hon Ken Agyapong, efforts to rebuild are gaining momentum.
