Ken Agyapong Camp Strongly Refutes Tribal Comment Accusations

The campaign team of presidential aspirant Hon. Ken Ohene Agyapong has strongly dismissed a JoyNews publication suggesting that he made “tribal tirades” or urged Akans to “reject minorities.” According to the campaign, the headline and accompanying report are false, misleading, and inconsistent with both the facts and Hon. Agyapong’s long-standing public record. In a statement signed by Campaign Spokesperson Kwasi Kwarteng, the team insisted that the remarks attributed to Hon. Agyapong were not tribal, but rather a response to what they described as unprecedented levels of tribal intimidation targeted at the campaign in some parts of Northern Ghana ahead of the party’s primaries. The statement detailed allegations of coercion by “some chiefs and influential individuals” who were repo...
