Kennedy Agyapong, a former presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has allegedly withdrawn from the party’s current Thank You Tour after one of his backers, a student from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), was stabbed during the event in Bantama, Kumasi, on April 29, 2025.
In a Facebook post shared by Angel FM Kumasi and later reposted by Kwesi Kwarteng, a past Public Relations Officer of the Ministry of Education, he included the Akan proverb, “Oman bo adwo,” which translates to “the nation is currently fine or content.”
“Just In: Kennedy Agyapong withdraws from NPP’s ‘Thank You Tour’ following stabbing of KNUST Supporter,” the post read.
As per eyewitness accounts, the clash allegedly started when a group of students tried to stop the armed individuals from seizing the money that was given to them following the event.
In the altercation, one student was stabbed in the upper right rib area. Members of the student organisation claim the first conflict happened within an auditorium where NPP leaders were speaking to party backers.
Conflicts intensified after the group obtained an undisclosed sum from an unknown source. The armed individuals reportedly seized the money and menaced the students at gunpoint.
