The Eastern Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Jeffery Konadu, has declared his support for Dr. Bryan Acheampong, former Minister for Food and Agriculture, as the party prepares for the 2026 presidential primary.
Speaking during a tour of the Volta Region, Chairman Konadu said his endorsement is based on personal experience and a deep appreciation for Dr. Acheampong’s leadership and contributions to the party.
He described the Abetifi MP as a dependable and results-oriented figure who has consistently delivered for both the region and the NPP.
“I can vouch for Bryan’s leadership because I’ve seen the work he’s done—not just for the Eastern Region, but for the party as a whole,” Konadu stated.
He likened his support to that of a parent cheering on a child in competition, emphasizing that loyalty and firsthand knowledge of a candidate’s capabilities should guide political choices.
“If you have a son who is going to play a football match, what will you do? Are you not going to support and watch him? Every good parent will do that and that is exactly what I’m doing for Dr. Bryan Acheampong,” he added.
Chairman Konadu urged delegates across the country to consider Dr. Acheampong’s track record and rally behind his bid, describing him as the party’s “surest bet” for victory in the 2028 general elections.
The 2026 NPP presidential primary is shaping up to be highly competitive, with contenders, including former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, former Assin Central MP Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, Education Minister Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum and former NPP General Secretary Ing. Kwabena Agyapong.
Dr. Acheampong’s campaign has gained momentum, with internal polls indicating strong delegate support across multiple regions. His message centers on party unity, internal welfare and pragmatic leadership.
As MP for Abetifi, Dr. Acheampong has led efforts to modernise Ghana’s agricultural sector and stimulate economic growth.
His supporters cite his blend of public service, private sector experience, and grassroots engagement as key assets for national leadership.
Political observers say endorsements like Chairman Konadu’s could significantly influence the direction and energy of the primaries.
