Former Member of Parliament for Ledzokuku, Dr. Bernard Okoe-Boye, has announced plans to contest for the Greater Accra Regional Chairmanship position of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the upcoming party elections.
In an interview on AsaasePa Radio, the former MP revealed that while he no longer plans to contest for the parliamentary seat in Teshie again, his commitment to the constituency and the party remains unwavering.
“I won’t do politics at Teshie again, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have the constituency at heart. I’ve been an MP before—won the seat in opposition and lost it in government. That journey taught me valuable lessons. Now, I want to channel what I’ve learned at a higher level.”
Dr. Okoe-Boye explained that he is currently consulting with party elders and stakeholders over the possibility of vying for the Greater Accra Regional Chairman role.
His motivation, he said, stems from a desire to help the party reclaim lost parliamentary seats and strengthen its hold in the region.
“We lost woefully in Greater Accra during the last elections, and if there’s going to be a turnaround, it must start from here. Accra is the heart of the laws, and the party’s redemption must begin here. If strong leadership works in Greater Accra, that same spirit can be injected into other regions.”
He was quick to clarify that his ambition is not aimed at discrediting any current regional executives. Rather, he views this as a new chapter in his political journey.
With his blend of political and professional experience, Dr. Okoe-Boye believes he is well-positioned to mentor parliamentary candidates across Greater Accra, sharing insights that will help them secure victories and restore the NPP’s dominance in the region.
