Former Energy Minister Boakye Kyeremateng Agyarko has officially declared his bid for the position of National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
In a statement released on September 30, 2025, Mr. Agyarko explained that the decision was reached after broad consultations with his family, close associates, and members of the party who, he said, would be directly impacted by his political path.
He emphasized that the calls from party members and supporters had compelled him to carefully reflect on the future of the NPP, leading him to view the step as a responsibility he could not ignore.
“I have also listened carefully to what the broad masses of our party people, and indeed many outside our party, are asking of me. Having factored in all the considerations, I see it as my bounden duty to respond to this call to duty, and hereby announce that I will contest for the position of National Chairman of my party upon the opening of nominations,” the statement noted.
