Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) General Secretary, Kwabena Agyei Agyepong has reiterated his desire to contest for the party’s flag bearer position.

With the promise of running a very slim government, the politician and businessman who worked closely with ex-President John Agyekum Kufour added that he will be drastic in his decisions to impose order and discipline.

“I will be very drastic, I will take the firm, tough, hard decisions and impose order and discipline. We cannot have a society where we have become so permissive and all that. We can’t do that. Slimming down the government is very vital. When you have slim government then you can have a handle on it,” Kwabena Agyei Agyepong told GTV on Thursday during an appearance on the Breakfast Show.

Speaking on the NPP's desire to break the 8 in the 2024 general elections, he said he is not a fan of that sloganeering.

According to him, he is optimistic the party has a good chance of staying in power beyond the two terms of President AKufo-Addo but must work hard to achieve it.

“A strong, mobilized, enthusiastic NPP always has a chance to win an election. I don’t have clichés and I never like slogans. Personally, I don’t like sloganeering. I think that we are capable of winning a third term and that’s how I’m going to say it.

“If we have a strong party that’s energized, mobilized, and they are all in line with what the leader is doing, and I think I’m someone who resonates positively and they know that this party I have been there for them all my life I would be able to generate the kind of enthusiasm required to make us a strong fighting force as a political party. I have the confidence that we have the numbers more than the NDC,” Kwabena Agyei Agyepong shared.

Besides Kwabena Agyei Agyepong are Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Agric Minister Dr. Owusu Akoto Afriyie, Alan Kyerematen who is Minister of Trade and Industries and others who are interested in the NPP flag bearer position.
