Mr Agyapong speaking at the party expressed appreciation for the support and said he and his campaign team had been "underestimated" ahead of the election.

"They underestimated us but we've proven to them that we now control one-third of NPP. No major decision will be taken without consulting us" - Ken Agyapong.

"We control more than one third of the party [NPP] and there is nothing they are going to do without consulting us [Ken Agyapong]. We've made a statement," he added.

"One man against the whole system," and they "underestimated me and my team."

When we were going for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primary I was underestimated together with my team, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong said.

He said there were some people who predicted that his best performance was going to be 10 percent. Others also said their research showed that his best performance was going to be 15 percent. 

"But today, they have all locked themselves up in their various rooms," Mr Agyapong said.

He added that there was this pastor who even said if he [Ken] gets more than 16 percent, he [pastor] should be killed.

But today, I am praying for that pastor, that God should grant him long life and he should not die soon, Mr Agyapong said.

The showdown thanksgiving party brought together in Accra all coordinators of Mr Agyapong from every region in Ghana.

It is only Ken Agyapong who organises a "big party" when he loses an election, he added.

"He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day," Mr Agyapong said and asked for prayers for long life with good health.

He said God's ways and wishes are the best and once there was life and good health, God's wishes shall surely come to pass one day.

"One day, one day, what God has ordained will surely come to pass," Mr Agyapong added.
