Accra, May 29, GNA- Mr Bryan Acheampong, Member of Parliament for Abetifi, has announced the formation of an Exploratory Committee to assess the possibility of a bid for the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearership.
“But beyond this tactical move lies a career deeply rooted in party work, policy implementation, and patriotic commitment”.
A statement signed by Mr Adomako Kissie, Spokesman to the MP and copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra on Thursday said Bryan Acheampong’s career was not defined by noise, but by results.
“ Over the last two decades, he has quietly become one of the most dependable and effective hands within the NPP. A man whose trajectory reflects not just ambition, but intentional preparation for national leadership”.
The statement said the Exploratory Committee would engage stakeholders, especially at the grassroots, and test the alignment between his vision and the aspirations of party members and the Ghanaian public.
According to him, the committee will deliver its findings within four weeks.
“The NPP finds itself at a pivotal juncture that calls not only for unity but also for a renewed commitment to our core values,” he stated.
“I have served the NPP faithfully, supported many, and helped shape impactful policies. Everything within me and every resource at my disposal have been put to the service of the party.”
The statement said from his early days as a grassroots organizer and party staffer, he had steadily climbed through the ranks.
“His election to Parliament and subsequent appointments as Minister of State at the Ministry of National Security, and Minister of Food and Agriculture, coupled with his influential role on numerous parliamentary and party committees, have all reinforced his image as a man driven by a deep sense of duty”.
It said his tenure at the Ministry of Food and Agriculture was a prime example of his ability to take charge of complex portfolios.
He introduced forward-looking strategies to improve food production, tackle inflation in food prices, and support farmer resilience — key concerns in a post-COVID, high-cost-of-living era.
“Beyond government, Bryan Acheampong is also known for his entrepreneurial success, most notably as the force behind the Rock City Hotel project in Kwahu, a venture that has redefined the standards of tourism infrastructure in Ghana. It stands as both a job creation engine and a tangible example of his “doer, not talker” philosophy.
“What makes Bryan Acheampong’s current posture especially timely is his neutrality in the ongoing factionalism within the NPP. In a political atmosphere increasingly characterized by personal camps and rivalry, he has remained largely above the fray, a trait that party elders say will be crucial in mending internal cracks ahead of 2028.
“I believe in the Party’s capacity to overcome its challenges and once again lead Ghana towards a brighter future. “Let us remain steadfast in spirit and decorous in conduct in the pursuit of progress, inclusivity, and effective leadership for Ghana.”
While waiting for the findings of the Exploratory Committee, the statement said Bryan Acheampong’s announcement was simply the natural progression of a life already devoted to public service and party building.
“As the NPP considers its future leadership, voters and delegates alike will have to weigh experience, loyalty, and delivery. In Bryan Acheampong, many see a candidate who embodies all three — not only serious about service, but seasoned by it.”
