The campaign team for New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful Dr. Bryan Acheampong has revealed that a recent poll positions him as the second favourite candidate in the race.
Campaign Spokesperson and former Deputy Information Minister, Pius Enam Hadzide, made this disclosure on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show.
Although he did not name the polling organization, Mr. Hadzide said the ranking is confirmed by the camp’s internal survey.
He acknowledged that the NPP’s 2024 presidential candidate and former Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, remains the clear front-runner.
Nonetheless, the team remains optimistic that despite Dr. Acheampong being the most recent candidate to declare, his rising popularity—alongside the January 31, 2025, primary date—could improve his chances.
“We see Dr. Bryan Acheampong as a winnable candidate and the polls are already picking him. He is now moving neck-to-neck with Dr. Bawumia as the second favourite candidate, but there is still time, so we believe we can win the primaries and unite the party,” he stated.
Mr. Hadzide further explained that these poll results demonstrate Dr. Acheampong’s strong influence within the party and suggest sustained support beyond the 2028 elections.
“We will campaign on the achievements of our predecessors and his vision regarding agriculture, food security, and the economy, among others.
“His policies on implementing the Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ) Phase Two program are what the current government is building on with the ‘Feed Ghana’ project, and that is impressive. It highlights the strategic outlook of Bryan Acheampong,” he added.
