Prominent Ghanaian legal practitioner Maurice Ampaw has claimed that former Assin Central Member of Parliament Kennedy Agyapong has effectively undermined his own political future through a series of hostile remarks directed at senior figures within the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Speaking on Wontumi TV, Ampaw urged party supporters to stop attacking the outspoken politician, arguing that continued criticism was unnecessary as, in his view, Mr Agyapong had already distanced himself from the party.

“Regarding the issue of Kennedy Agyapong, I would like to plead with party members to stop attacking him. Because no matter what, he is gone already; his spirit is not with the party anymore,” the lawyer said.

In a report by GhanaWeb, he further suggested that Agyapong’s perceived alignment with businessman Oti Bonsu could hasten his political decline within mainstream NPP circles.

According to Ampaw, the former MP’s recent choices were politically damaging.

“Let me tell you something, Kennedy Agyapong, you have signed your political death warrant,” he warned.

“Because the Oti Bonsu that you are following is not a politician but a businessman. He separated himself from the NPP because of bitterness in him,” he added.

Maurice Ampaw also dismissed the possibility of any emerging political movement displacing Ghana’s dominant two-party system, insisting that the current arrangement remains firmly entrenched.

“Nobody can come and overtake NPP and the NDC; it will never happen because the voting system in Ghana has been NPP and NDC, so there's no third Force,” he added, referring also to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
