Kennedy Agyapong, a flagbearer aspirant, has arrived at the New Patriotic Party headquarters to meet the Elections Committee.
According to insiders, the meeting would provide him and other presidential contenders with an opportunity to address complaints about the conduct of the special delegates conference.
Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia won the Special Delegates’ Conference of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) with 629 votes, representing 68.15% of the vote.
Kennedy Agyapong of Assin Central finished in second with 132 votes, or 14.30%, while former Trade Minister Alan Kyerematen came in third with 95 votes, or 10.29%.
During Saturday’s Special Delegates Conference, Mr Agyapong is also due to meet with the disciplinary committee about allegations leveled against President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
Mr Agyapong, the Assin Central Member of Parliament, is shown in a widely distributed video threatening the two leaders over alleged attacks on his operatives.
He was heard saying, “President Akufo-Addo, I will give you a showdown in this country, I swear to God. Vice President, I will give you a showdown for chasing my agent away. I swear to God. You will hear what will happen here. I swear to God, I will challenge President Akufo-Addo big time.”
According to a statement issued by NPP General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong on Sunday, Mr Agyapong would be called before the Disciplinary Committee to justify his threats.
The campaign team of Kennedy Ohene Agyapong on Monday clarified that the comment about a “showdown” with President Nana Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia during Saturday’s special delegates conference was not a threat.
At a press conference, Agyapong’s campaign manager, Kwame Owusu, said that the expression “showdown” was only used to indicate that Agyapong would win the November 4 polls, regardless of any alleged intimidation against him.
