He said even if he is offered the role to partner the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), he will decline.
During an appearance on the KSM Show on Accra-based Pan African Television on Friday (February 23), Mr. Agyapong emphasized that Dr. Bawumia should be given the autonomy to make his own decisions.
“I wouldn’t do it, I just want to allow him to do whatever he wants to do. I don’t want to be vice. What am I going to say.”
“I believe in democracy so, I want it to work. I will stay back and watch and whatever I have to do, I will do to contribute,” he said.
“But I won’t accept vice as, if at all cost, Kennedy Agyapong has to be among the leaders. One thing I have always said is that you don’t need to be president to effect change in people’s lives. I have businesses that have employed many Ghanaians and put food on their table, and it’s self-gratifying,” Mr Agyapong said.
In the NPP's presidential primary held late last year, Vice-President Dr. Bawumia secured 118,210 votes, amounting to 61.47% of the total valid votes cast, triumphing over his main rival, Mr. Agyapong, who garnered 71,996 votes, representing 37.41% of the votes.
