The New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearership race has taken a dramatic turn as Dr. Bryan Acheampong, the ambitious Abetifi MP and former Minister for Food and Agriculture, storms ahead with surprise momentum across key battleground regions.
A new Global InfoAnalytics report has sent shockwaves through the party’s political landscape, revealing that Bryan Acheampong has overtaken Kennedy Ohene Agyapong in the Ashanti Region, the party’s traditional stronghold.
With a commanding 25 percent of delegates’ support, Dr. Bryan Acheampong has emerged as the second leading contender, reshaping what many thought was a two-horse race.
Even more striking, the report confirms that Dr Bryan Acheampong is leading Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and other contestants in his home turf, the Eastern Region, where his influence continues to grow.
Meanwhile, in the all-important Greater Accra Region, the three front-runners – Dr.Mahamudu Bawumia (DMB), Kennedy Agyapong (KOA) and Bryan Acheampong (DBA) are locked in a three-way tie, each polling 16 percent.
“Summarising the NPP race from a regional perspective, Greater Accra is the battleground. The Ashanti Region will be crucial to all the top three candidates, but Dr Bryan Acheampong has damaged Kennedy OheneAgyapong’s chances there.
The Eastern Region also squeezes Dr. Bawumia asDr. Acheampong shows resilience again, at the expense of KOA,” the report noted.
The report has it that Dr. Bawumia appears to be spreading his support thin across regions, while Kennedy Agyapong and Bryan Acheampong are focusing their firepower on three decisive fronts – Ashanti, Eastern and Greater Accra regions.
With Dr Bryan Acheampong’s rapid rise cutting into both Bawumia and Agyapong’s bases, the Global InfoAnalytics report concludes that the final outcome will hinge squarely on how the trio performs in these three battleground regions.
In a striking remark, the report summed it up bluntly: “Bryan is hurting both DMB and KOA.”
As the NPP race tightens, Bryan Acheampong’s surge has not only rattled the old order — it has rewritten the script for what could become the most unpredictable flagbearer contest in the party’s history.
