Former Minister of Health, Dr. Bernard Okoe Boye, has announced his decision to contest for the position of Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) when the party holds its next primaries ahead of the 2028 elections.
According to him, he is no longer interested in becoming the Member of Parliament for Ledzokuku and is looking to explore other opportunities within the party.
In an interview on Asaasepa Radio, Dr. Bernard Okoe Boye expressed his commitment to helping the NPP reclaim the parliamentary seats it lost during the 2020 elections.
“I will no longer contest to be an MP. After participating in three elections, I’ve learned a lot. I have won some and lost others. I won when we were in opposition and have also experienced serving while in government. I now want to bring my experience and skills to serve the region. Currently, I am consulting with some elders and considering contesting for the position of Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the NPP.”
He emphasized the importance of revitalizing the party’s support base in the Greater Accra Region:
“I am committed to ensuring that the NPP wins back the many seats we lost in the region. I believe the heart of the NPP’s losses lies in Accra. It was in Accra that the party’s strength diminished significantly. If the NPP is to return to power, we must work hard in Accra. The region’s population is comparable to that of eight other regions combined. With the right leadership to revive the party here, the same energy will spread across the country, and the NPP will be well-positioned to regain power.”
“I will no longer contest as MP, but eyeing regional chairmanship position”
