New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Dr. Bryan Acheampong, has declared himself the only candidate capable of uniting the party and leading it to victory in the 2028 general elections.
According to him, deep-rooted internal divisions within the NPP played a major role in the party’s defeat in the last general election and must be resolved if the party is to return to power.
Dr. Acheampong made the remarks while addressing party delegates in the Obom, Amasaman and Trobu constituencies on Saturday, January 17, 2026, during the second and final day of his Greater Accra Regional campaign ahead of the party’s flagbearer race.
Recalling events after the party’s defeat, he said internal wrangling even disrupted a planned Thank You Tour.
“Remember, we lost the last election and were on our way for just a Thank You Tour. Even that, we were not able to complete because of petty fights. Some people were dropped from the bus and told that utterances from their mouths contributed to our loss,” he told delegates.
Dr. Acheampong questioned whether the party could genuinely unite behind other leading contenders should they win the flagbearership.
“I have this question for you all, and it is because we are all seeking power. Who among you believes that if Kennedy Agyapong wins, Abronye DC and the supporters of Dr. Bawumia would support him for us to win power?” he asked.
He raised similar concerns about a possible victory by Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, arguing that divisions within the party would persist.
“What about when the situation is vice versa in the case of Dr. Bawumia? I am the only one who can unify this party for victory in 2028,” he said.
Dr. Acheampong urged delegates to rally behind his leadership, insisting that his candidacy offers the NPP its best chance of reclaiming power in the next general election.
“You all know that if we push these two, we will struggle to win power. Present me, let me win that power for our party,” he added.
