The National Administrator of the Kennedy Agyapong campaign, Charles Bissue, has strongly pushed back against claims that the former Assin Central MP is not \u201cpresidential material,\u201d questioning what critics really mean by the label.<\/p>\n

Speaking on\u00a0Adom FM\u2019s Dwaso Nsem<\/strong>, Bissue dismissed the narrative and mocked the criteria being used to judge leadership suitability.<\/p>\n

\u201cI beg them, is it GTP or Printex when they talk of presidential material?\u201d he asked. \u201cWhat exactly do they mean by material?\u201d<\/p>\n

His comments come amid debate within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) over the suitability of aspirants contesting the party\u2019s January 31 presidential primary.<\/p>\n

According to Bissue, Kennedy Agyapong\u2019s political appeal is rooted in his ability to connect with ordinary party supporters, describing him as a natural crowd puller.<\/p>\n

\u201cKennedy Agyapong is like a magnet, and over the years, he has proven it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He argued that popularity and grassroots strength, rather than elite branding, should define a presidential contender.<\/p>\n

To illustrate his point, Bissue proposed an open test among the aspirants.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we want, we can assemble all the aspirants. Each of them will be assigned a day to address delegates, and we will see the number of crowds each will pull,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

According to him, the outcome would be clear.<\/p>\n

\u201cKennedy Agyapong\u2019s numbers will be phenomenal,\u201d Bissue added.<\/p>\n

He maintained that the former MP\u2019s visibility, consistency, and ability to mobilise supporters across regions make him a serious contender, contrary to attempts by critics to downplay his credentials.<\/p>\n

Bissue stressed that leadership should not be judged by polished appearances but by influence, trust, and connection with the grassroots.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen people say presidential material, they should explain whether they are talking about branding or leadership. For us, Kennedy has shown over the years that people believe in him,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
