NDC is going to lose the 2028 election if they do not choose VC Opoku-Agyemang as their leader

Political analyst Kwasi Mensah has sparked debate within Ghana’s political circles after proposing that Vice President Prof. Jane Opoku-Agyemang could lead the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2028 general elections.

A report by Kessben TV indicates that Mensah believes the NDC should consider her as a potential presidential candidate because of her experience, public reputation and leadership background.

The proposal has received varied responses from party supporters and political commentators. Some believe Prof. Opoku-Agyemang’s experience in education, public service and government could help the NDC strengthen its position and appeal to a wider range of voters.

However, others have warned that discussions about the 2028 flagbearership are premature. They argue that the party should respect its internal democratic procedures and allow members to determine the eventual presidential candidate.

The issue has also prompted debate about whether the NDC should begin preparing for its next presidential campaign early. Supporters of early planning believe it could help the party build unity and develop an effective election strategy. Critics, meanwhile, fear that an early leadership contest could trigger divisions and distract the party from its current responsibilities.

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang’s career in education and public service, along with her role as Vice President, has made her an influential figure in Ghanaian politics. These credentials have encouraged some supporters to consider her as a possible future leader of the NDC.

Nevertheless, Mensah’s remarks remain a personal suggestion rather than an official endorsement by the party. The NDC’s established selection procedures will determine who represents it in the 2028 presidential election.
