The campaign team of Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, an aspirant in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer race, says his bid for the party’s leadership is divinely orchestrated and represents a new era of renewal for the party and Ghanaians.

Speaking on The Pulse on JoyNews on Friday, October 10, the spokesperson for the Ken Agyapong campaign, Kwasi Kwarteng, said the team is convinced that Mr. Agyapong’s candidature goes beyond politics and reflects divine intervention in Ghana’s political landscape.

“Before I went in, I indicated that we are not so much fixated on numbers. We are of a strong and firm conviction that Ken’s election and Ken’s candidature is more divine than we can imagine. It is about time that God is using Ken to restore a certain order,” Mr. Kwarteng said.

Drawing an analogy from the Bible, he likened Mr. Agyapong to the biblical David, saying God is bringing him forth to replace what he called the “rejected Saul” and restore order and purpose.

"If you recall the days of the Israelites, when the Israelites were determined to move in a certain direction, and they intimated to God that they wanted a human king, and God gave them Saul. But at some points, the Israelites felt the conditions and everything about Israel went down. The Israelites went back to God and God gave them David,” he said.

He continued saying, "So we are taking an inspiration from that story that Saul has been rejected, a new David is coming in. So everything that happens through this process is in the hands of the Lord, who is introducing David, and that David is honourable Kennedy Agyapong."

Mr. Kwarteng added that while the campaign team is encouraged by Mr. Agyapong’s position on the ballot, they are more focused on the message of transformation and divine calling that underpins his candidacy.

“The numbers are good in terms of one being visible if you look at how easy you can identify it on the ballot. It gives us another advantage in terms of when people are not sure and undecided, they go and vote for one. In terms of marketing for the number, it also gives us another advantage,” he added.

Mr. Agyapong is among five aspirants vying for the NPP’s flagbearer slot ahead of the party’s presidential primaries scheduled for January 31, 2026.
