Agyapong joined the campaign in Kumasi on Tuesday and was with Bawumia on his rounds at Suame Magazine.

Amid speculation about Bawumia's running mate, Agyapong, the MP for Assin Central, has already said he has no interest in partnering the flagbearer of the NPP as running mate.

He said he would prefer to stay back and contribute but has no interest in becoming a Vice President.

Though he did not emerge victorious in the NPP presidential primaries, Agyapong shocked many by emerging as the second most attractive figure for the flagbearership.

He had been tipped as an outsider but managed to leapfrog the second favourite in the race, Alan Kyerameten. Agyapong acquitted himself well in the delegate's congress by getting over 35 percent of the vote and ensuring Bawumia was not the runaway choice as flagbearer.
