NPP presidential aspirant, Kwabena Agyei Agyapong, has emphatically stated that the documents all five NPP presidential aspirants signed on Thursday, 22 January 2026, as a peace pact, contained no errors, contrary to claims by another aspirant, Kennedy Agyapong.
There was drama at the signing ceremony in the full glare of the media, when Kennedy Agyapong was reluctant to sign the documents, later saying he had spotted some errors.
However, in a response to a delegate’s enquiry who wanted to know whether there was any error in the document, as Kennedy Agyapong claimed, Kwabena Agyapong confirmed that there were no errors, and added that the same document was given to them during the last primaries, and the latest one was also given to all aspirants days before the signing ceremony.
“The document we signed was the same document that was part of our filing forms. It was the same for the last primaries. We signed the same document, but because it was not made public, one of us decided to leave the party after the election,” Kwabena Agyapong said.
“So, the feeling this year is that if it is made public and everyone signs publicly for Ghanaians to see, you cannot say you reject the results, and you’re leaving.
“So, there was nothing new in the document. They sent the documents to us well in advance, and I reviewed them thoroughly. The same documents were attached to our filing form, so there was no error. There was nothing like that,” Agyapong further stated.
Kennedy Agyapong has come under criticism from party supporters for unnecessarily drawing negative attention to an otherwise positive exercise for the party.
In related development, NPP Flagbearer hopeful, Dr Bryan Acheampong, has questioned Kennedy Agyapong’s commitment to peace and unity in the NPP, following his initial reluctance to sign the peace pact, which had been given to all aspirants.
The document, the party’s election committee has confirmed, was given to all aspirants days before the signing ceremony, but at the signing ceremony, Kennedy Agyapong initially refused to sign, having raised questions over a clause.
Following the drama, which was captured live on TV, Kennedy Agyapong has further claimed that there was an error on the document. He specifically mentioned that Dr. Bryan Acheampong signed the place he was not supposed to sign, and also attacked other aspirants for not reading through.
However, Dr. Bryan Acheampong has responded, questioning Kennedy Agyapong’s commitment, whom he said “did not want to sign”.
“He squeezed his mouth in anger and said he won’t sign,” said Bryan Acheampong in a video of him meeting party delegates.
“Kennedy said he won’t sign because he was not in agreement with some clauses. Go and watch the video, he said he won’t sign.”
“Sign the thing, let’s go, but he frowned and squeezed his mouth and said he won’t sign. Didn’t you see it? You go and watch. The cameras were there.”
Bryan Acheampong added that signing the peace pact is important, and “it is something that if you refuse to sign, your campaign is gone.”
He expressed doubt about how Kennedy Agyapong could commit to supporting the party’s peace and unity after the election if he did not win.
