Some of his supporters, who had opposed Dr Bawumia's candidacy, did not take his solidarity with the vice president well.
However, addressing a group of his supporters during his birthday celebration over the weekend, the Assin North MP stated that he has no intention of letting any animosity that may have occurred during the party’s primaries fester.
He said while his supporters continue to be intimidated even after the primaries, he believes the way forward is for the party to unite for victory.
He urged the vice president's supporters to stop their intimidation tactics and unite with his supporters to ensure a unified front ahead of the general elections.
Kennedy Agyapong also assured the party fold that he had no intention of quitting the party to run as an independent candidate.
He said that though he has been suggested to run as an independent candidate, he has not considered the suggestion and intends to stay on to ensure the party wins the 2024 general elections.
He urged his supporters not to be disenchanted with the party but to keep supporting it to victory in the 2024 elections.
