NPP Drama: Ken Agyapong, Owusu Bempah and Hopeson Adorye Back in the Spotlight

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is experiencing fresh internal political tensions as prominent personalities such as Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, Prophet Isaac Owusu Bempah and Hopeson Adorye feature in ongoing discussions about the party’s leadership and future direction.

The disagreements are emerging ahead of the party’s national executive elections scheduled for October 3, 2026, which are expected to play a significant role in determining its leadership and preparations for the 2028 general elections.

Prophet Owusu Bempah has reportedly come under criticism from sections of the NPP’s Ashanti Regional leadership following remarks allegedly made about some individuals within the party.

In response, the regional NASARA Wing and Women’s Wing have expressed their displeasure and demanded that he withdraw the comments and apologise.

The controversy took another turn when the Ashanti Regional NPP Youth Wing submitted a petition to security agencies over alleged remarks involving Effiduase-Asokore MP Dr Nana Ayew Afriye.

The youth group dismissed the claims as unfounded and called for a formal investigation into the matter.

Kennedy Agyapong, meanwhile, remains influential in discussions surrounding the NPP’s next political chapter. Much of the attention centres on the party’s choice of presidential candidate and the need to assess its performance in the 2024 general elections.

Hopeson Adorye has also been vocal on several political matters, particularly his criticism of the Office of the Special Prosecutor. He has raised questions about the institution’s performance and called for changes to improve its operations.

He has further alleged that certain individuals within the NPP financed social media content connected to the party. Although Adorye indicated that he was prepared to assist the relevant authorities with information, he stopped short of identifying the individuals involved.

These developments have brought renewed attention to the challenges facing the NPP, especially regarding internal unity, leadership disputes and accountability.

As the party approaches its national executive elections, the positions taken by these prominent figures are expected to remain part of the wider debate over how the NPP should reorganise itself and strengthen its chances ahead of the 2028 general elections.
