During the NPP’s post-election thank-you tour, MP Kennedy Agyapong called for amnesty for all suspended party members and outreach to breakaway figures like Alan Kyerematen to ensure a united front for the 2028 election.
During the New Patriotic Party’s nationwide post-election thank-you tour, Member of Parliament Kennedy Agyapong made a passionate plea for party unity ahead of the 2028 general election. He specifically called on NPP leadership to grant amnesty to all suspended members and to extend an olive branch to high-profile defectors—most notably Alan Kyerematen—in order to consolidate the party’s base.
Agyapong argued that internal divisions and the sidelining of former members threaten the NPP’s electoral prospects. “We cannot afford to leave anyone behind,” he said. “By welcoming back our brothers and sisters who were suspended—or who chose to walk away—we strengthen our ranks and show Ghana that we stand together.”
His intervention comes amid ongoing discussions within the NPP about how best to heal post-election rifts and prepare a cohesive campaign apparatus for 2028. Agyapong warned that failure to reconcile could hand the opposition an advantage. “A house divided cannot stand,” he reminded delegates. “Our path to victory lies in forgiveness and inclusion.”
The call for reconciliation echoes wider sentiment among grassroots supporters, many of whom have expressed disappointment at the handling of internal disputes. Should Agyapong’s proposal be adopted, it would clear the way for suspended executives and local organisers to rejoin party structures, participate in primaries, and contribute to policy-making processes.
Reaching out to Alan Kyerematen—a former NPP stalwart who left to pursue his own political platform—would represent a significant gesture. Kyerematen retains a loyal following in key constituencies, and his reintegration could bolster NPP support in closely contested areas.
As the NPP moves into its next planning phase, Agyapong’s appeal underscores the importance of broad-based unity. The party’s national executive is expected to deliberate on amnesty measures and reconciliation strategies in the coming weeks, setting the stage for how the NPP will present itself to voters in 2028.
