Dr. Palgrave Boakye-Danquah, a former Government Spokesperson on Governance and Security, has formally endorsed Kennedy Agyapong as the best person to head the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and win the presidency of Ghana in the general elections of 2028.

In a statement released by Dr. Boakye-Danquah, he cited former US President Abraham Lincoln's well-known quote, "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power," as his motivation for supporting Kennedy Agyapong's mission.

He maintained that Kennedy Agyapong had not only triumphed over hardship but also shown a remarkable ability to exercise power honorably.

“Agyapong’s life and career reflect a character shaped not only by overcoming challenges but also by wielding influence with integrity, He is the exemplary leader to guide the NPP and Ghana toward a thriving future from 2028,” he stated.

In addition to praising Agyapong's longstanding support of justice, fairness, and the truth, he said that his history of opposing corruption and promoting openness in the public and political arenas makes him a strong contender for the top job.

“His relentless pursuit of accountability, confronting corruption in both political and public arenas, highlights a character that flourishes under the responsibilities of power, driven not by personal gain but by a commitment to the welfare of Ghanaians,” he added.

Dr Boakye-Danquah, who served in President Akufo-Addo’s administration from 2017 to 2024, described Kennedy Agyapong as a courageous and visionary leader whose style of leadership is empathetic and service-driven.

“I proudly endorse Kennedy Ohene Agyapong as the optimal leader to steer the NPP and Ghana from 2028. His proven record of service and steadfast integrity align perfectly with Lincoln’s vision of leadership,” he concluded.
