Agyapong camp warns Bawumia over “vicious” personal attacks by surrogate KOKA

The campaign team for New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwart Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has issued a stern warning to the camp of former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, stating it will no longer tolerate personal attacks from the latter’s surrogates.

In a statement released on Thursday, 2 October 2025, the Agyapong campaign cited a recent, widely circulated video on Wontumi Television in which Kwaku Osei Korankye Asiedu (popularly known as “KOKA”), a known loyalist of Dr Bawumia, launched “vicious and unprovoked attacks” on the person of Agyapong.

The campaign described as “both astonishing and hypocritical” the portrayal of Dr Bawumia as a peaceful person while his camp “tolerates and benefits from, intimidation, bullying and abusive rhetoric.”

“Silence in the face of such conduct is itself an endorsement. By failing to repudiate these attacks, Dr Bawumia and his inner circle have, through inaction, condoned them,” the statement signed by Kwaku Amoh–Darteh Esq., communications director for the Ken Ohene Agyapong Campaign, said.

The Agyapong camp, which said it has consistently focused on “ideas, vision and principle” without resorting to personal vilification, served a clear notice to its rivals.

“Let there be no ambiguity: the Ken Ohene Agyapong Camp knows too much to allow reckless defamation to go unanswered,” the statement read.

It further advised Dr Bawumia’s camp “to call their surrogates to order,” warning that “if they choose instead to drag this campaign into the gutter of personal vilification, they will awaken consequences they will come to regret.”

Reaffirming its commitment to “defending truth, protecting integrity and speaking for the grassroots,” the Agyapong campaign said it will continue to preach “peace, unity and discipline within the New Patriotic Party, but peace must not be mistaken for weakness and unity must not be confused with cowardice.”
