Bryan Acheampong represents Abetifi as a Member of Parliament and once served as Minister for Food and Agriculture. He created a special committee during May after party members encouraged him to run for leader. The group studied whether his plans match what Ghana and the New Patriotic Party want from their next candidate. Acheampong talked with reporters during Tuesday meetings held across Accra. His research team found strong support for someone who brings people together and helps young citizens find work.
The committee discovered that voters seek a candidate who can strengthen national safety and build better roads and bridges. Acheampong believes his goals match these needs perfectly. He visited leaders at the Presbyterian Church before announcing his campaign plans to the public. The former minister wanted church officials to hear about his decision first since he remains an active member. He told them he plans to run when the party starts accepting applications from candidates.
Church connections remain important to Acheampong as he prepares for the upcoming race. He explained that his religious background shaped his approach to politics and public service. The Presbyterian Church Moderator received advance notice about his presidential ambitions. Party officials scheduled January 31, 2026 as the date for choosing their next leader. Acheampong will compete against other candidates who want to represent the NPP during 2028 general elections.
