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 Extraordinary 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 Commerce Minister Alan Kyerematen came in third with 95 votes, or 10.29%.
Mr Agyapong is also expected to meet the disciplinary committee over claims targeted at President Akufo-Addo and Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia during Saturday’s Special Delegates Conference.
In a widely circulated video Mr Agyapong, who is also the Assin Central Member of Parliament, is seen threatening the two leaders over alleged attacks on his agents.
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.”
A statement signed by the NPP General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong on Sunday, disclosed that Mr Agyapong will be summoned before the Disciplinary Committee to explain 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.
