Former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Ing. Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, has officially declared his intention to contest the party’s 2026 presidential primaries.
His announcement, made on Tuesday, July 29, came just hours after the NPP opened nominations to begin the search for a new flagbearer ahead of the 2028 general elections.
Speaking at a brief ceremony, Ing. Agyepong positioned himself as the candidate best suited to unify the party and restore integrity to its leadership.
“I represent unity, integrity, and values our party urgently needs,” he told supporters, while urging delegates to reject the creeping monetisation of internal party contests.
In a symbolic gesture aimed at reconciliation, Ing. Agyepong extended an invitation to former presidential hopeful Alan Kyerematen to return to the NPP, reminding party members that the NPP was founded on “sacrifice, not privilege.”
Several prominent former NPP MPs, including Dr. Bernard Okoe Boye, attended the event to offer their support.
Meanwhile, the NPP has announced that nominations for the presidential primaries will close on August 28, with elections slated for January 31, 2026.
The nomination form has been set at a non-refundable fee of GHS100,000, while the filing fee is pegged at GHS50,000.
