Nana Akomea has issued an emphatic statement to the Member of Parliament(MP) for Assin Central and NPP presidential aspirant, Kennedy Agyapong, ahead of the New Patriotic Party's presidential election.

The New Patriotic Party will on Saturday, November 4, go to the polls to elect their flagbearer.

Four candidates; Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong, Former Agric Minister, Dr. Owusu Afriyie-Akoto and a leading member of the New Patriotic Party, Francis Addai-Nimoh are all gunning for the flagbearer position.

Prior to the election, Kennedy Agyapong has threatened to give Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia a "showdown"; the showdown interpreted to mean he will give the Vice President a run for his money.

Although Dr. Bawumia won the NPP super delegates election on August 26 with a wide margin, Mr. Agyapong strongly believes he will defeat the former in the upcoming election which involves over 200,000 delegates unlike the 961 delegates that participated in the Super Delegates Conference.

But when it comes to a showdown, the STC Chief Executive, Nana Akomea believes the person who will give the showdown on November 4 is Dr. Bawumia.

"We will give him (Kennedy Agyapong) a showdown," Nana Akomea, a member of the Bawumia's campaign team, established on Peace FM's "Kokrokoo" show.

He also said the Dr. Bawumia has adopted showdown term to his advantage stating "we have turned the showdown against the NDC which is where it should be".
