Spokesperson for Bryan Acheampong’s 2028 campaign, Pius Enam Hadzide, has urged the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to adopt a politically strategic approach in selecting its next presidential candidate.
In an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr Hadzide cautioned that choosing a candidate without due diligence could expose the party to renewed public scrutiny over past controversies, ultimately weakening its campaign.
“If we’re not careful and select just anyone, every time an old issue comes up, they’ll link it to our candidate. That can cost us dearly,” he warned.
He underscored that the push for new leadership must not be driven by sentiment but by the party’s goal to win the 2028 general elections.
“This is not about change for change’s sake. It’s about change that gives us a real shot at winning power in 2028 for the sake of everyone in the party.”
Mr Hadzide called for unity and careful reflection, stating that the NPP must rally behind a candidate who is widely accepted, relatable, and seen as a bridge across various factions within the party.
“That’s why I believe Bryan Acheampong is the best option. He’s young, relatable, and well-liked by everyone at the party. I don’t think there’s anyone in the party who can say they have a problem with Bryan. He’s helped a lot of people financially and otherwise.”
Describing Bryan Acheampong, MP for Abetifi and former Minister for Food and Agriculture, as a “great unifying force,” Mr Hadzide praised his reputation as someone free of political baggage.
“If there must be a change, then it must be Bryan. He represents boldness, unity, and forward-thinking. We need a leader who can make a decision and stand by it. Bryan is that kind of person.”
He concluded by reaffirming Acheampong’s readiness to lead. “Where we are now, we need a man to lead us, and Bryan Acheampong is our best bet.”
Mr Acheampong has officially declared his intention to contest the NPP’s flagbearer race, having announced his bid during a meeting with the leadership of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, where he requested their prayers and blessings.
Meanwhile, the NPP has scheduled its presidential primaries for Saturday, 31 January 2026, following a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held on Tuesday, 17 June 2025.
