Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, has stated that he will not relent on pursuing his presidential ambition because of the challenges faced by unemployed youth.
His concerns stems from the rapid departure of young people from Ghana in search of greener pastures
Agyapong criticizes corrupt leaders for mismanaging the abundant resources in Ghana, resulting in an unbearable economic situation for numerous young individuals.
Despite these challenges, he remains committed to his presidential ambitions, emphasizing that if elected, he will implement measures to improve the country’s economic conditions for the benefit of young people.
“I’m told several youths leave Ghana with the aim of getting Nursing jobs, but after paying the charges they can’t even get jobs. God has endowed our country and what we need is leaders who act and not leaders who speak just English and cannot put food on your table. I’m not giving up on my vision and all I’m telling you is to pray for me for long life.”
“All I said and the mistakes I pointed out, I will work on them. I would have retired completely, but when I look at the young men and women without jobs in the country, I cannot give up. We will continue to fight. I’m not giving up,” he told members of his support group We’re for Ken Worldwide during a meeting in the US city of Minnesota..
Kennedy Agyapong came second at the end of the November 4 presidential primaries after accruing 37.41% of all votes cast against vice president Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s 61.43%.
He assured support the flagbearer-elect, Vice-President Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, in all his endeavours with his new position.
However he will still take up the opportunity again to contest for a presidential position.
