Presidential hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has urged party delegates to prioritise electability and victory as they prepare to go to the polls on January 31, 2026, to elect the party’s flagbearer for the 2028 general election.
Speaking during his campaign tour of the Central Region, Mr. Agyapong appealed passionately to delegates to rise above personal loyalties and sentiment and make a decision that secures the future of the party.
“I am humbly pleading with you, my delegates, to do me this one favour on 31st January,” he said. “Let us not just elect a flagbearer for the sake of it. Let us, for the first time, choose a flagbearer who truly has what it takes to win power for the NPP in 2028.”
According to him, the upcoming flagbearer contest presents the NPP with a defining moment that must be approached with clarity of purpose and a strong focus on winning back power from the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Mr. Agyapong stressed that the choice delegates make will have far-reaching consequences, not only for the party’s electoral fortunes but also for its cohesion and long-term relevance.
“This decision is bigger than any individual; it is about the future of our party, our unity and our hope of returning to government,” he noted.
He maintained that the NPP cannot afford to enter the 2028 elections with a candidate who lacks broad appeal and the capacity to mobilise both the party’s grassroots and floating voters nationwide.
As the race for the NPP flagbearership intensifies, Mr. Agyapong has consistently positioned himself as a winnable candidate, arguing that his track record, national presence and grassroots appeal place him in a strong position to lead the party back to power in 2028.
