New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Kennedy Agyapong, has called on party delegates to entrust him with the mandate to lead the party into the 2028 general elections.
In a televised address to national delegates on Thursday, January 29, 2026, the former Assin Central Member of Parliament outlined his vision for the party, which he said would be grounded in unity, internal democracy, industrial growth, and job creation.
He assured delegates that his leadership would not be driven by vendettas or actions that undermine the party’s grassroots strength.
“I do not believe in revenge politics, and I will not tolerate any attempt to shrink the party by threatening its grassroots. Be assured of this,” he said.
Mr. Agyapong noted that the New Patriotic Party’s resilience over the years has been rooted in its commitment to democratic principles, and urged members to continue safeguarding those ideals.
“The NPP was built on courage and internal democracy. So, I say to you, stand firm,” he stated.
Touching on his developmental priorities, he emphasized that industrialisation and employment creation would be key pillars of his leadership should he be elected flagbearer.
“I stand for industrialisation, and that’s all my message. I am also for employment and jobs. What we need in this country is employment for the youth. So please give me the opportunity to serve you, and I will not disappoint you,” he said.
The NPP is scheduled to hold its nationwide flagbearership election on Saturday, January 31, 2026.
