‘Showdown’ comment not a threat to Akufo-Addo, Bawumia – Ken Agyapong’s campaign team

The campaign team of Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has clarified that the showdown comment by their candidate during Saturday’s election is not a threat against the President and Vice President.

The NPP flagbearer hopeful during the polls was captured on video, making a phone call where he retorted words that he would give a showdown to the President and Vice President following information received by him that his agents had been attacked in the North East Region.

This raised concerns which resulted in disciplinary actions instituted against the Assin Central Member of Parliament who emerged second at the end of the polls.

At a press conference, the campaign manager of Kennedy Agyapong, Kwame Owusu who revealed the readiness of Kennedy Agyapong to subject himself to the disciplinary process, explained that the expression, showdown was only used by Kennedy Agyapong to indicate that regardless of any alleged intimidation against him, he will win the November 4 polls.

“Whether or not the confrontation was directed towards the Vice President or not, are you concerned about the meaning of confrontation? Because I think the showdown is basically a decisive point of either a confrontation or a contest. In that regard, if it is addressed to the Vice president it only then meant that come November no matter what happens he is going to be a victor.”

“And so that is a showdown, a decisive confrontation and contest… It is not a threat, it is nothing for us to be worried about, it is just a simple language probably expressed in a different form,” he stated.
