Kennedy Agyapong Has Not Resigned From NPP, Spokesperson Kwasi Kwarteng Says

• Kwasi Kwarteng, a close associate and spokesperson for Kennedy Agyapong, has dismissed reports of the politician's NPP resignation
• Kwarteng confirmed that Agyapong is currently in China on business and has not submitted any resignation letter to the party
• The denial comes amid widespread public speculation about whether the outspoken former MP has severed ties with the NPP

Reports claiming that prominent Ghanaian politician and businessman Kennedy Agyapong has quit the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are false, according to his spokesperson and close associate, Kwasi Kwarteng.

Reports had emerged on social media that Kennedy Agyapong had submitted a letter of resignation from the opposition party to the newly elected chairman John Boadu, several months after losing to former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in the presidential candidacy elections.

In a Facebook post on Friday, 16 October 2026, Kwarteng moved quickly to shut down the circulating claims, stating that the former Assin Central MP is currently on a business trip in China and has not sent any resignation letter to any NPP official.
