He claimed the pastor facilitated a scheme where delegates were financially persuaded to vote in favor of his opponent, Francis Asenso-Boakye.
Agyapong, speaking on Kings Jersey TV in the United States on March 15, 2025, stated that his defeat was not just a contest between him and Asenso-Boakye but rather a battle against the state apparatus, which he alleged was backing his opponent.
He accused Rev. Kusi Boateng of orchestrating a meeting where delegates were allegedly given GH₵5,000 each to support Asenso-Boakye.
“The pastor… camped Bantama delegates, and Asenso-Boakye gave each of them GH₵5,000, telling them that President Akufo-Addo had instructed them to vote for Asenso-Boakye,” Agyapong claimed.
He further alleged that his brother, Kennedy Agyapong, was informed about the situation and intended to intervene. However, national security officials reportedly advised against it, citing potential security risks.
“At the time, Kennedy Agyapong wanted to go there, but the National Security Minister begged him not to because they didn’t know what would happen,” he added.
These allegations add to the ongoing debate over the influence of money and political connections in internal party elections.
Neither Asenso-Boakye nor Rev. Kusi Boateng has publicly responded to Agyapong’s claims.
