New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful Kennedy Agyapong has promised to provide jobs in the country under his presidency.
According to him job creatiion will define his leadership should he be given the mandate to govern Ghana.
Speaking during his campaign engagements with delegates in the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency in the Greater Accra Region, Mr. Agyapong said Ghana’s economic challenges, particularly youth unemployment, demand practical leadership rooted in enterprise and results.
“My presidency will be about jobs. That is my priority,” he told delegates, drawing applause from party faithful.
Mr. Agyapong stressed that his commitment to job creation is not theoretical, noting that long before seeking political office, he has consistently created employment opportunities for Ghanaians through his private business ventures.
“Even in my private capacity, I have employed thousands of Ghanaians. I didn’t wait to become President before creating jobs,” he said. “So if I am given the opportunity to lead this country, job creation will not be a promise — it will be a continuation of what I already do.”
He argued that Ghana needs a leader with proven business experience, someone who understands how jobs are created, sustained, and expanded, rather than one who relies solely on policy statements.
According to Mr. Agyapong, his vision for Ghana’s future centres on empowering local industries, supporting entrepreneurs, and creating an enabling environment where businesses can thrive and absorb the country’s growing labour force.
“Ghanaians are hardworking. What they need is opportunity. Give me the power, and I will give you jobs,” he added.
The presidential aspirant reiterated that his campaign will remain focused on economic empowerment, productivity, and employment, assuring delegates that his leadership philosophy is built on accountability and measurable outcomes.
Mr. Agyapong continues his campaign tour across constituencies as he seeks the mandate of party delegates ahead of the upcoming primaries.
