The Founder and Leader of the Ghana Union Movement (GUM), Christian Kwabena Andrew, also known as Osofo Kyiri Abosom, has extended an invitation to a prospective flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, to consider joining him as his running mate.
He expressed his belief that Kennedy Agyapong’s aspirations to lead the NPP may face challenges given the unfolding dynamics of the party’s primaries.
Osofo Kyiri Abosom commended Kennedy Agyapong for his intellect and extensive political experience, suggesting that he would make an excellent match as a running mate for the 2024 general elections.
During an interview with Kasapa FM, monitored by GhanaWeb, Osofo Kyiri Abosom encouraged Kennedy Agyapong to switch allegiance from the NPP and stand as his running mate for GUM in the upcoming 2024 general elections.
“With my brother Kennedy Agyapong, I would say he is knowledgeable and intelligent, so if it’s possible he should come and support me. This is a serious issue I’m telling him. He is such an intelligent person but his long talks and everything he is doing will be in vain. So if he can he should join forces with me for GUM.
Osofo Kyiri Abosom pointed out that Kennedy Agyapong’s path to becoming the flagbearer of GUM was not feasible since he had already been elected and officially endorsed.
Consequently, the most suitable role for Kennedy Agyapong within the party would be to assume the position of a running mate.
“If Ken wants to lead while I become the running mate, that’s not possible because I’ve already been elected so why would I step down for him to take charge? The electoral commission has taken my details already so should I go and change it? that’s not possible,” he said.
