Managing editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi Pratt has said Kwabena Agyepong and Paul Afoko risk losing their seats as General Secretary and Chairman if Nana Akufo-Addo is elected flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). He said actions by some members of the party indicate that both of them � especially the General Secretary Kwabena Agyepong, are not needed as leaders of the party and that they risk being relegated to the background during the 2016 elections if Nana Akufo-Addo wins the primaries. Speaking on Radio Gold�s Alhaji & Alhaji programme he said, �the days of Kwabena Agyepong and Paul Afoko are numbered if Nana Addo wins the primaries. They should think deeply about their future. There is a deliberate action to sideline them from the 2016 general election because anytime he says something concerning the party, someone from the party will come and say another thing to contradict what he has said.� He mentioned comments made by former General Secretary of the party, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie claiming that the two executives are mismanaging affairs of the party as just an example of how unpopular they both are within the party.
