Kenneth Agyei Kuranchie has declared his intention to run as an independent candidate in the upcoming parliamentary elections for Okaikwei North constituency following his dissatisfaction with the electoral process that led to his loss in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primary.
Expressing his discontent in an interview with Citi News, Kuranchie highlighted his concerns about the parliamentary nomination system and the conduct of the party at various levels. He cited instances where rules and laws were allegedly bent or disregarded, leading to his decision to distance himself from the party.
Despite acknowledging the challenges of contesting as an independent candidate against the two major political parties in Ghana, Kuranchie expressed determination to secure victory in the December elections. He emphasized the need to build his own organizational structure, establish connections, and mobilize support to compete effectively.
Kuranchie concluded by stating his commitment to engaging in the hard work necessary to build his campaign from the ground up, expressing confidence in his ability to overcome the obstacles posed by established political parties in the constituency.
