New Patriotic Party's (NPP) flag-bearer aspirant, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has claimed that some of his competitors are exploiting the tragic assassination of investigative journalist Ahmed Hussein-Suale to undermine his candidature.

During a campaign engagement with delegates in Gushegu in the Northern Region on Monday, October 28, Mr Agyapong insisted that the ongoing investigations by Anas Aremeyaw Anas and subsequent legal processes have already cleared him of any involvement.

"Tell the people what you can do for them and stop propaganda. Some (aspirants) are saying if you vote for Kennedy Agyapong to win, NDC is going to arrest him because he killed Ahmed Suale, all these years, Anas reported me to America, they did their investigation and I am still here, so what information?," he stressed.

Suale, an undercover journalist affiliated with Tiger Eye PI, was ambushed and shot dead by gunmen in his vehicle in Madina on 16th January 2019.

Prior to his death, Suale had reportedly identified a suspect who allegedly supplied images of him to Mr. Agyapong; that suspect, Daniel Koranteng (also known as Nana Amakye), was arrested in March 2025 and has denied allegations of providing those images.
