In a significant political development within the New Patriotic Party (NPP), a group comprising polling station executives, electoral area coordinators, and branch executives in the Volta Region has endorsed the candidacy of Abetifi MP, Dr. Bryan Acheampong, for the party’s presidential primaries.
At a press conference in Ho, the group expressed their commitment to rally behind the former Minister for Food and Agriculture.
Speaking on behalf of the group, the Ho Central Women’s Organiser, Thelma Adzimah, described Dr. Acheampong as “a visionary, disciplined, and results-oriented leader who embodies the spirit of the next generation of NPP leadership.”
According to the executives, Dr. Acheampong is a leader who listens, respects the base, and consistently works to strengthen party structures—even at times when others stayed away.
“We, the grassroots of the NPP, declare: Hon. Dr. Bryan Acheampong is our choice, our hope, and our trusted leader. Let no one ignore the grassroots again — the future of the party depends on us.”
They indicated that Dr. Acheampong’s track record speaks for itself.
“He has empowered communities through initiatives such as borehole construction, farm inputs, and educational support. He has demonstrated his commitment to promoting education, healthcare, hospitality, and economic empowerment.
“He values the role of polling station executives, coordinators, and constituency leaders in building a winning party,” they lauded.
Meanwhile, they cautioned all presidential hopefuls, national executives, and former appointees against neglecting the grassroots, who are the true owners and builders of the NPP.
“The party’s success also relies on the polling station executives, foot soldiers, and coordinators who drive its machinery at the community level. Don’t overlook their importance.
“We call on all presidential hopefuls to engage directly with the grassroots and avoid assuming that endorsements from former government appointees represent the base.
“We urge the national leadership to conduct a free, fair, and transparent internal electioneering process that reflects the true will of party members. We appeal to all stakeholders to put party unity and grassroots empowerment above personal ambition,” they stated.
