Dr. Bryan Acheampong
Dr. Bryan Acheampong, Member of Parliament for Abetifi, has officially his intention to contest the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer position ahead of the 2028 elections.
The former Minister for Food and Agriculture made this known at a meeting with the leadership of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana.
According to Dr. Acheampong, his decision was influenced by an exploratory team that spent a month assessing the sentiments of NPP delegates.
“A decision has been made that I will contest when the party opens nominations, but to do that, as a product of the church, it will be a disappointment per my tradition, if the moderator of the church hears it for the first time on the radio,” he said.
He said the feedback expressed a need for his expertise as a leader whose qualities, he believes, align with the party’s.
“So, before a formal announcement is made, I thought it wise to come and inform the moderator of the Presbyterian Church that this is what I have set out to do.”
The New Patroitic Party(NPP) has formally scheduled January 31, 2026, as the date for its presidential primaries to elect a flagbearer for the 2028 elections. The decision was confirmed following a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held on Tuesday, June 17, and later endorsed by the National Council of the party.
