Dr. Agyarko vows fair NPP primaries; Acheampong gains youth support for 2028; party claims recovery of GH¢12.9B in misused funds.

Former Energy Minister Dr. Boakye Kyeremateng Agyarko has pledged to end cheating and ensure fair, transparent primaries if elected NPP chairman, criticizing practices like holding elections at 1 a.m. that exclude members. Over 500 Ashanti Region youth endorsed Dr. Bryan Acheampong, citing his agricultural reforms, cocoa initiative leadership, and local development projects as reasons to support him for the 2028 presidential nomination. Meanwhile, Team Bawumia expressed confidence in securing at least 75% of the vote in the 2026 flagbearer election, citing Bawumia’s experience and integrity. The NPP reaffirmed its commitment to transparent internal processes, rejecting claims of manipulation and defending the January 31, 2026, primary date as strategic for 2028 preparations. The party also reported recovering GH¢12.9 billion in misappropriated funds.
