The conveners
Youth leaders from the Ashanti Region, together with youth groups nationwide, have officially declared their support for Dr. Bryan Acheampong in the upcoming New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primary scheduled for January 31, 2026.
The youth announced their endorsement yesterday in Kumasi, amidst chants of “Bryan delivers”, “Unifier”, and “Bryan the Joshua”. According to them, they are backing a leader who delivers.
“Ghana is at a crossroad. We need a statesman, a visionary, a builder. That leader is Bryan Acheampong,” declared the conveners.
They cited his transformational work in agriculture—especially under Planting for Food and Jobs 2.0, which shifted the country from subsidy dependence to a credit-based value chain.
Also, his expansion of irrigation in Afram Plains and his leadership of the cocoa sector, where he secured fair pricing for cocoa farmers, were hailed as game-changers.
The youth further praised his international role as Chairman of the Côte d’Ivoire–Ghana Cocoa Initiative during which period he elevated West Africa’s bargaining power as well as his investments in the private sector through Rock City Hotel, which has created hundreds of jobs and empowered farmers, artisans, and the youth.
“In Abetifi, his legacy includes scholarships, vocational training, health programmes, and infrastructure,” they said.
The youth emphasised that Dr. Acheampong embodies the traits the NPP needs in its next leader. “Bryan Acheampong is not just a candidate, he’s a movement,” they declared. He has the track record, the temperament, and the tenacity to unify the party and win for Ghana.”
They thus called on delegates, executives, and polling station officers to rally behind him, stating that his leadership offers the clearest path to victory in 2028.
