Politics

Kennedy Agyapong is one of the few remaining politicians in Ghana who has never been defeated in an election. The success of Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo in the elections of 2016 was due, in large part, to his work ethic and industry. Additionally, he was a significant factor in the victories of numerous New Patriotic Party parliamentary candidates, including K.T. Hammond and many others.

On the other hand, Kennedy Agyapong chairs the Defence and Interior Committee in Parliament, under the current presidency of Nana Akufo-Addo.

Mr. Agyapong has said that he would take his own life if the brother of former President John Mahama, Ibrahim Mahama, is not imprisoned by the administration of Akufo-Addo for various corrupt acts. These actions, according to Agyapong, have resulted in the loss of money for the state. One example that he provided was that Ibrahim Mahama did not pay his taxes for more than a year at the time that his brother John Dramani Mahama was serving as President of the Republic of Ghana.

The statements and pronouncements of Kennedy Agyapong via the media, led to an inquiry of Ibrahim Mahama, which ultimately resulted in Ibrahim Mahama agreeing to pay the aforementioned taxes. Kennedy Agyapong earned praise from a diverse cross-section of Ghanaians as a result of this action.

Mr. Agyapong's indirect attack on the Electoral Commissioner of Ghana, Charlotte Osei, for the alleged statements that, she traded sex for her position as the Electoral Commissioner (EC) boss brought upon him criticisms from various leaders including Queen mothers and human rights activists as well as other members of parliament. 

In 2018, after the dismissal of GFA president, Kwasi Nyantakyi, Kennedy Agyapong said that, anti-corruption investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas should be stopped before he starts investigating people in their "bedrooms while they are asleep." 

He has repeatedly threatened Anas and was condemned internationally by the Committee to Protect Journalists and Reporters. And without hindrance, he stated that Anas’s methods were ‘unfair’. Speaking live on Adom FM on 4 June 2018, he called Anas “a blackmailer, an extortionist”, mimed his throat being cut and said he should be “hanged.” He also called for “retribution” against Anas’ fellow reporter, Ahmed Hussein-Suale, saying “If he comes here, beat him… Whatever happens, I’ll pay.” Hussein-Suale was subsequently assassinated.
