Delegates, not MPs, will decide NPP’s future Leader – Bryan Acheampong
The campaign of Hon. Dr. Bryan Acheampong, NPP flagbearer hopeful, is gathering momentum as he continues his constituency tour across the Eastern Region. At his recent stop in Achiase, he addressed the much-publicised press conference by the Bawumia camp, announcing that 15 MPs out of 23 in the region had endorsed the former Vice President.
Speaking to an enthusiastic crowd of delegates, Mr Acheampong stressed that a handful of endorsements from MPs have no bearing and that the real decision-makers in the January 2026 flagbearer race are the grassroots, the delegates of the New Patriotic Party.
“There are 20,000 strong delegates in this region who will vote. 15 MPs pale in comparison. It is the base of the party that counts — and that base is with me,” he declared to rapturous applause.
Delegates present in Achiase openly affirmed their confidence in Bryan’s candidacy, declaring their firm belief that he would secure victory in their constituency — a constituency that is also home to Hon. Kofi Marfo, the leader of the very 15-MP group that endorsed Dr. Bawumia.
For Bryan, the show of grassroots support underscores his message that the campaign is not about parliamentary endorsements but about reconnecting the party with its rank and file.
He reiterated his vision of inclusiveness and renewal, promising to empower the base of the party and ensure no delegate is left behind.
As the NPP heads toward its January 2026 primaries, Bryan Acheampong is positioning himself as the candidate of the people — grounded in the strength of delegates and determined to lead the party into a united and victorious 2028.
