Newly elected General Secretary of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwabena Agyapong is thankful to God for saving his life after a near fatal accident just four (4) days to the NPP�s national delegates� conference held in Tamale. According to him, despite surviving the accident, he doubted his existence at the conference ground due to pains, but that was made possible by God and the medical staff at the 37 Military Hospital. �At a point in time, my hope for going to the conference ground was shattered but by God�s grace and the Doctors at 37 Hospital, I was there. I really thank God for my life and all those who wished me well on my hospital bed,� he said. Kwabena Agyapong was campaigning for Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie�s position as the next NPP chief scribe when he had the accident on the Accra-Kumasi road.
