Former Majority Leader in Parliament, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, has issued a subtle but pointed warning to members of the New Patriotic Party regarding its pending presidential race.
His remarks appeared to be directed at Kennedy Agyapong, the former Member of Parliament for Assin Central and flagbearer hopeful of the NPP, urging members not to be swayed solely by persuasive rhetoric.
Sharing his thoughts on the recent NPP super delegates conference held on July 19, 2025, during an interview on JoyNews PM Express on July 21, 2025, Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu stressed the importance of tangible actions over mere words.
“Action speaks louder than words Dont be swayed by fancy talkers,” Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu said.
Asked whether his remarks were directed at Kennedy Agyapong, the former Majority Leader retorted, I have not said so. Im just playing back the music of Jimmy Cliff to us.
While acknowledging that Ken Agyapong might possess a connection with the grassroots, he cautioned against overstating such strengths.
I dont dispute the fact that he may also have his own connection with the grassroots. After all, he also contested six times. When he left, he surrendered the seat to the NDC; when I left, I maintained the seat for the NPP.
So, in terms of grassroots connection, dont let us overhype our strength. Dont let anybody over-exaggerate his strength, he said.
The former Majority Leader’s comments come amidst the competitive landscape of the NPP’s internal contest for its pending presidential candidate.
