Speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), Mr Obeng said Mr. Agyepong’s industrialisation agenda placed him in the best position to transform the country and strengthen the party’s prospects beyond 2024. He explained that just as President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo introduced the Free Senior High School (FSHS) policy—now benefitting thousands of Ghanaian households—Mr Agyepong is equally prepared to introduce policies capable of accelerating national development. He said the NPP, currently in opposition, needed a candidate whose practical leadership record and job-creation focus could reignite public confidence. 

“Kennedy Agyepong has demonstrated commitment to empowering the youth through industry. His vision is clear, achievable, and necessary for our next victory,” he said. 

Mr Obeng encouraged delegates to exercise their right to vote without fear or intimidation, stressing that no one risked losing their job for supporting their preferred candidate.

 “We are in opposition, so delegates must feel free to choose the leader they believe can best return the party to power. No one will lose his job,” he assured. He appealed to delegates to prioritise competence, dedication, and loyalty to the party’s long-term stability as they cast their ballots.
