NPP Primaries: Kwabena Agyapong files his presidential candidature paperwork

Date:

Kwabena Agyapong, the former general secretary of the National Patriotic Party, advanced his political career by submitting his presidential candidature papers to the Asylum Down headquarters of the organisation.

In his remarks to the media, Mr. Agyapong reaffirmed his dedication to providing new ideas and creative solutions to Ghana’s problems.

He talked passionately about his goal of creating a nation that values diversity, prosperity, and sustainable progress. He declared with conviction that his goal is to build a country of civic-minded people who will elect public servants to lead them.

“The country deserves a new dawn and a new direction and a new face that would be able to connect with the Ghanaian people and restore the confidence that the Ghanaians have in the constitution and that I represent.” With his submission, the number of flagbearer hopefuls who have filed their nomination forms now stands at 10. Among them are Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, former Trades Minister Alan Kyerematen, former Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko, Dr. Konadu Apraku, and former Agric Minister Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto. The New Patri­otic Party will elect a flagbearer ahead of the 2024 elections on Novem­ber 4, 2023. However, because more than five candidates have filed to run in the primaries, the party will call a Special Congress on August 26.
