A section of Ghanaians on social media has criticised former Assin Central MP and NPP stalwart, Kennedy Agyapong, after videos surfaced of him appealing to church congregants for votes ahead of the 2028 general elections.
Many users accused the outspoken politician of hypocrisy, recalling his past controversial remarks about some pastors and church leaders. “From the same man who said nonsense things about the church — now asking for their votes?” one commenter wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
In the viral clip, Mr Agyapong is seen addressing a congregation, promising to support faith-based initiatives if elected president. His message, however, sparked a wave of mixed reactions — with some defending his outreach as part of political maturity, while others questioned the sincerity of his new tone toward the church.
Critics pointed to previous instances where the MP made strong comments about church leaders’ involvement in politics and wealth accumulation, arguing that his current campaign strategy appears contradictory.
Despite the backlash, some supporters described the move as a sign of growth and reconciliation, urging the public to focus on his policies rather than past statements.
Kennedy Agyapong, who contested in the NPP’s 2024 presidential primaries, has remained vocal about his ambition to lead Ghana, promising a leadership style rooted in discipline, patriotism, and accountability.
