Former NPP General Secretary, Ing. Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, has thrown his hat into the ring for the party’s 2026 presidential primaries.
Agyepong made the announcement on July 29, hours after the party opened nominations for the 2028 general elections.
Positioning himself as the party’s best bet for victory, Agyepong emphasized his ability to bring unity and integrity to the NPP. “With me, KAA, the NPP has a clear path to unity and victory. We need a pair of clean hands, a clear mind and a compassionate heart to lead our nation and the party,” he stated.
Agyepong also appealed to party delegates to resist inducements and reject the culture of monetization in internal party contests. “Politics belongs to the grassroots, belongs to the ordinary people. Not the petty scabble of contented partisan elites,” he added.
In a gesture of unity, Agyepong called on former presidential hopeful Alan Kyerematen to return to the NPP, saying the party was founded on “sacrifice, not privilege.” The event was attended by several former NPP MPs, including Dr. Bernard Okoe Boye.
The NPP’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, announced that nominations will close on August 28, with the internal elections scheduled for January 31, 2026. Aspiring candidates are required to pay a non-refundable fee of GHS100,000.
