Kennedy Agyapong, who is vying for the flagbearer position of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) says he was extremely shocked with his party’s choice of a running mate before the 2008 presidential election.
Speaking on NEAT FM’s afternoon political show, 'Me Man Nti', the outspoken NPP lawmaker said the party had deliberated on picking an 'elderly Muslim' (Alhaji M.N.D. Jawula) to pair then Candidate Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo – a decision he supported before a sudden twist.
"Just after the meeting, three days, when I was in Ghana, I saw publications, all the pictures I saw were young muslims, and not a single elderly man among them . . . based on the conversations in London we focused our attention on Alhaji M.N.D. Jawula, then all of a sudden the shock came . . . " he disclosed to Adakabre Frimpong Manso, host of the show.

Who are you?
HONORABLE KEN. NO BODY DOUBTS YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE PARTY. ALL WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE SAYING IS THAT YOU INDEED LACK EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE. YOU APPEAR TO BE AN UNCONTROLLABLE PERSON. ITS DANGEROUS TO HAVE SOMEONE AS PRESIDENT WHO DOES NOT LISTEN TO ANYONE. YOU MAY HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THE JOB BUT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT , EVERYONE HAS TO BE CARRIED ALONG IF YOU HAVE TO SUCCEED. YOU CANNOT BULLY YOUR WAY THROUGH. TRY AND APPEAL TO THE MAJORITY WITH YOUR MANNERISM. STOP THE LOOSE TALK AND THE SHOWDOWN ANTICS. STOP THE THREATS AND TRY TO BE HUMBLE.
You people must be fair, Bawumia was an NPP member when he was appointed vice President. His father and mother were all NDC people. Nana Addo has been controversial from day one. He was appointed because he is an economic guru but now look at the situation in Ghana. Dankwa, Busia, and Dombo traditional nnonsense should be thrown out. We should elect a person with the ability to perform but not by tribe and religion.
This statement alone shows that you don't have emotional intelligence, and you have displayed your lack of emotional intelligence during this campaign. How can you be a better president without this critical intelligence. I am sorry you're wasting your time. We aren't ready to be ruled by a person who cannot control his emotions. In fact your advisors and campaign team have done you a disservice by not telling you the truth. You are wasting your time and money, won't win. Have you paused to ask why almost all members of Parliament and NPP gurus have deserted you to follow other aspirants. It's not betrayal of what your contributions to the party but it has everything to do with your lack emotional intelligence.
Aaah! The man who contributed immensely to NPP coming back to power after Prez Kufuor is being judged by and from 2008? Ken, you continue to disappoint people. You can't win!!
Is this the kind of politics you want to bring. You were expecting Jawula and not someone like Bawumia who has become competition for you. You are so selfish and cheap.
Now I know the basis of your hatred for Dr. Bawumia
