Former Minister for Food and Agriculture, Bryan Acheampong, has taken a significant step towards realizing his ambition to lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as its flagbearer.
The committee’s mandate is to engage key stakeholders, listen to the voices of grassroots supporters and constituents, and provide informed insights to guide Acheampong’s decisions ahead of the NPP’s internal polls.
In a statement issued on Thursday, May 29, Dr. Acheampong said the decision follows “growing encouragement from a broad spectrum of party faithful” and “extensive consultations with family and well-wishers.”
The committee is expected to submit its findings within two weeks.
Acheampong expressed his readiness to serve the NPP with his experience, dedication, vision, and strategies aimed at rebuilding a strong foundation for the party.
“This dedicated committee shares my commitment not only to discipline and unity within the Party but also to job creation, food security, youth and infrastructure development, safety and security, and good governance within our nation,” he stated.
Dr. Acheampong described his journey in the NPP as “lifelong and deeply personal,” citing his experience as a grassroots organiser, party staffer, four-term Member of Parliament, Cabinet Minister, and long-time party financier.
“These roles and experiences have granted me invaluable insights into the sacrifices, dedication, and strategic vision required to build and sustain the foundations of our Party,” he said.
He reaffirmed his loyalty to the NPP and expressed confidence in the party’s ability to overcome current challenges and lead Ghana to a brighter future.
“To our foot soldiers and all NPP faithful, I firmly believe in the Party’s capacity to overcome its challenges and once again lead Ghana towards a brighter future. May we remain steadfast in spirit and decorous in conduct in the pursuit of progress, inclusivity, and effective leadership for Ghana. May God be our helper,” he concluded.
Dr. Acheampong becomes the latest senior figure within the NPP to signal interest in shaping the party’s future direction as it prepares for upcoming internal elections and the 2028 general elections.
He called on all party foot soldiers to stand firm as the party works towards overcoming its challenges and leading Ghana towards a brighter future.
With a background that includes serving as a party staffer, parliamentary aspirant, four-term Member of Parliament, Cabinet Minister, and long-term party financier, Acheampong believes his experience and vision can help shape the party’s future.
