More than 500 young members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Ashanti Region have declared their support for Dr Bryan Acheampong as the party’s flagbearer for the 2028 general elections. The endorsement was announced at a press conference in Kumasi, described by organisers as the “political nerve centre” of Ghana and the stronghold of the NPP tradition. The event brought together 20 constituency youth organisers, regional executives, constituency leaders, polling station workers, and hundreds of party faithful. Speaking on behalf of the youth, the conveners said Dr Acheampong represents the temperament and conciliatory spirit needed to prevent post-election divisions within the party. The youth also cited his contributions to education and skills development, pointing to scholarships, vocational training, and school infrastructure.
