It appears the convincing grip the New Patriotic Party has over the Central Region of Ghana, following the results of the 2016 election is fast loosening.
This is according to controversial Member of Parliament for Assin Central Honourable Kennedy Agyapong, who, without mincing words said the favour and goodwill and energy that brought the party victory in the last elections is fast waning and that even though he and his team are working to stem the negative tide, Central Region votes of NPP is reducing. “Central Region is like Florida, it swings anyhow”, he measured.
Speaking on Asempa FM Tuesday afternoon, he said the people of the central region are generally disenchanted and disappointed about a lot of issues key among which include how they were treated regarding appointments and other perks that come with power; and how MCEs and DCEs are treating the grassroots of the party. He alleged that some Municipal and District Chief Executives of the region “dont understand politics” and were, by their conduct, making the President and the NPP highly unpopular in the eyes of the people”.
Roping in the Regional Minister Kwamena Duncan, the MP said “people are complaining about the Regional Minister too. They are saying that he doesn’t listen to them. That guy was a fantastic Secretary, but he should know that as Minister things are different. He can’t satisfy everyone. I haven’t sat with him yet. He hasn’t called me. We haven’t spoken”.
Asked by the host, Philip Osei Bonsu whether he had reached out to the minister, Mr Agyapong said he has not done that and that the Minister should know “me Kennedy Agyapong I’m a big guy who won’t be chasing him for a meeting”, the outspoken lawmaker said.
Mr Kennedy Agyapong however said one year was “too short a period to assess him (the Regional Minister), but we have a lot of work to do”, he said.
Kwamena Duncan who until his appointment was the NPP’s Central Regional Secretary was appointed by President Nana Akufo Addo in a move widely hailed.

Central Region is neither Ashanti nor Volta Regions where they normally vote in a certain way. Central always show you the performance of the government of the day. Check yourselves as your performance is contrary to what you promised them and they voted for you. NPP you are loosing yourselves as the lies is becoming too much.
it is a fact NPP is losing Central. Some of us are in the grassroot and we know wat is going but u talk and NPP leaders dont take u serious.
ken if we loose we will all go into opposition or? u talk too much, am sure u will loose your seat in the next election
What is going on ? A lot of people did not start or work hard before coming to politics so hard way to do their work they don’t know they like easy way they don’t think deep and act, if they sit down at their office waiting for their assistance to come and report to them they will fail , and for those who are saying KEN talk too much, tell me what you achieved through had work? Ghanaians should think and work hard and stop the lazy way doing things .you guy want KEN to keep quiet so that you will have your lazy way, you lie KEN will talk today tomorrow and explain to us ok
Central has never been stronghold of any party. They are the king makers, so I don't known how NPP is losing central as if it's their stronghold. In 2012 NDC won almost all the seats there. In 2016 NPP virtually all seats, so stop acting as if the region is for NPP.
Bi bi baaa. Something dey come in 2020.
Hon Kennedy finds everything wrong with everybody else except himself. If the NPP is losing favor in the Central Region, he needs to do introspection. He may find the causes from his abode. His loud mouth will kill him and his party, the NPP
when was the last time this gay spoke or talk at Parliament??/
No party will forever hold on to the central region unlike the Eastern and Ashanti Region for NPP and Volta region for NDC. What kind of person are you? Where from this man on the party. Massa live the party and nothing will happen to it.We are tired of You.
Gyai kasa.... kasa no d))so dodo aaaaa. You’ve become a pain in the a$$. U ain’t the only wise person in Ghana. Sometimes, silence is indeed golden. Learn to be tactful and not emotionally driven all the time.
