Broadcast journalist Emmanuel Agyemang has terminated his longest interview marathon challenge. According to a press statement shared on Facebook on March 31, 2024, the decision to call off the challenge was based on medical advice from doctors.
The statement expressed regret, stating, “We are saddened to announce that the attempt to break the Guinness longest interview marathon record by Emmanuel Agyemang has been called off on medical grounds.”
His team’s statement also mentioned that Kaakyire Agyemang had broken the existing record by lasting 37 hours and 44 minutes. However, despite achieving this milestone, he was advised by doctors to cancel the show due to health concerns. The statement commended his efforts and determination, expressing hope for his speedy recovery and future attempts at breaking the record.
Kaakyire Agyemang commenced his interview marathon on March 29, 2024, at the Bayview Village in Accra.
Despite planning for three days, he managed to complete two days, achieving a remarkable feat of 37 hours and 44 minutes. This duration is closely comparable to the current record set by Rob Oliver with an impressive 37 hours, 44 minutes, and 17 seconds in May 2022.
