New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Dr. Bryan Acheampong, has declared that he is the only candidate capable of uniting the party and leading it to victory in the 2028 general elections.
According to him, deep internal divisions within the party contributed significantly to its defeat in the last general election and must be addressed if the NPP is to return to power.
Dr. Acheampong made the remarks while addressing party delegates in the Obom, Amasaman, and Trobu constituencies on Saturday, January 17, 2026, as part of the second and final day of his Greater Accra Regional campaign ahead of the party’s flagbearer elections.
“Remember, we lost the last election, and we were on our way for just a Thank You Tour. Even so, we were not able to complete it because of petty fights. Some people were dropped from the bus and were told that utterances from their mouths contributed to our loss,” he told the delegates.
He questioned whether the party could truly unite behind other leading contenders should they emerge victorious.
“I have this question for you all, and it is because we are all seeking power. Who among you here believes that if Kennedy Agyapong wins, Abronye DC and the supporters of Dr. Bawumia would support him for us to win power?” he asked.
Dr. Acheampong raised a similar concern in the event of a Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia victory, suggesting that internal divisions would persist.
“What about when the situation is vice versa in the case of Dr. Bawumia? I am the only one who can unify this party for victory in 2028,” he said.
He urged delegates to rally behind his leadership, insisting that his candidacy offers the party its best chance of reclaiming power.
“You all know that if we push these two, we will struggle to win power. Present me, let me win that power for our party,” he added.
