NPP presidential aspirant Dr. Bryan Acheampong has urged delegates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to place unity at the forefront as the party gears up for the 2028 general elections. He cautioned that lingering divisions from the 2023 primaries continue to undermine cohesion within the party.
Addressing delegates in Suhum on Monday, January 19, during the second phase of his campaign tour of the Eastern Region, Dr. Acheampong stressed the need to move past internal rivalries and rally behind a candidate who can unite all factions. He positioned himself as that unifying figure, pledging to restore harmony and strengthen the NPP’s chances of victory in 2028.
According to him, the wounds from the 2023 primaries remain fresh among party members, making reconciliation and unity essential if the NPP is to reclaim power. “The pain from the 2023 primaries is still fresh in the minds of many people, so let us put aside these leaders and choose someone who can unite the party. Send me so I can win power for this party,” he said.
Dr. Acheampong questioned the current dynamics within the party’s internal contests, stressing that unity must be placed above individual ambitions. “Have you asked yourself why we are running the party this way? We are looking for unity to fight for power. We want unity above all,” he noted.
He also raised concerns about the lack of cross-camp support after internal elections, warning that such divisions could undermine the party’s chances in future national polls. “I asked who believes that when Ken wins, Bawumia’s team will support him to win in 2028, or vice versa. It cannot continue like this. I am the one who can unite the party,” he added.
