In a video on X, Adwoa Safo said there is a difference between politics and family issues. His comment suggested that she did not need to support Kennedy Agyapong because he is the father of her children
“This is politics. This is not family matters. This is politics.”
Kennedy Agyapong officially declared his intention to contest for the NPP flagbearer position when he organised a party on his 65th birthday.

“I remember the 2020 primaries when Kennedy had to step in for her before she could win with 7 votes. Today she’s on Bawumia’s side against Ken eii. In an interview, Ken said Mike Oquaye called on him, but he refused because he couldn’t go against the mum of his kids. Fear women ooo yoo.”

NPP finance gurus support Kennedy Agyapong
YEN.com.gh reported that Kennedy Agyapong formed a high-level finance and economy team ahead of the NPP flagbearer race.
The team includes ex-deputy ministers and respected economists like Dr Mark Assibey Yeboah and Kwaku Kwarteng.
Their decision to join the team showed a strong internal support for Agyapong’s 2028 presidential dream.
