“I come from humble beginnings, where values were taught day by day. The son of a teacher who struggled to raise three children myself and two siblings in the bathrooms of Mile 7,” he shared. “From there, I’ve built reputable businesses and a career in politics.”
He noted that his life experience had instilled in him a deep understanding of the transformative power of opportunity not just for individuals, but for families and communities.
“I know what it means to build from the ground up. I know the weight of responsibility. I know how a single opportunity can transform not just one’s life, but an entire family’s future,” he said.
With a track record spanning grassroots activism, policy development, and constituency service, Dr Acheampong positioned himself as a leader with proven capability and grounded vision.
“I have served faithfully in both party and government. I have been a grassroots activist, a politician, a policymaker, and a servant of my community,” he remarked.
“I understand the potential of Ghana, and I believe in the potential of our people,” he concluded.
