New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential hopeful, Kennedy Agyapong, has urged his supporters to remain calm and united following the outcome of the party\u2019s presidential primaries so far.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the media after results from several constituencies indicated that he was trailing in the race, Mr Agyapong said the need for discipline and respect for the party\u2019s internal processes. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to stay calm. We believe in the party. The delegates have spoken, and we have to take it,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

He cautioned his supporters against taking any actions that could harm the party or target other members. <\/p>\n

\u201cDo not use this against anybody in the party. Once they have decided, let\u2019s all come together as party members and work together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Drawing on his experience in politics, he reminded supporters that defeat is part of the process. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn politics, you can win, you can lose. I\u2019m a veteran politician, so I know. I\u2019ve gone through several defeats.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that he had prepared himself mentally for any outcome. <\/p>\n

\u201cI cushioned myself and expected the worst, and the worst has happened. But the worst doesn\u2019t mean that it is the end of life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t say \u2018no Ken, no vote\u2019. If it had been Ken, what would other contestants\u2019 supporters have said? So \u2018no Ken, no vote\u2019 should be out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Agyapong thanked his campaign team for their efforts and encouraged his supporters not to lose hope.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to take this opportunity to thank Team Ken for the wonderful work you\u2019ve done. We all admit we worked hard, but God\u2019s time is the best. He knows what is good for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Agyapong appealed to his supporters to stay positive. <\/p>\n

\u201cI know most of you are dejected. You have to keep your spirit up, because once we have life, we have everything. So don\u2019t be dejected,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
