Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer aspirant, Ing. Kwabena Agyepong, has called on the party to prioritise the election of its new flagbearer by December 2025 to allow ample time for preparation ahead of the 2028 general elections.
He believes that an early selection will help ease internal tensions and enable the party to concentrate on rebuilding and mobilising support for a strong comeback.
Agyepong’s remarks come as the NPP continues to assess its performance in the 2024 general elections and plan its path forward.
Speaking in an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Channel One TV’s Face to Face, Agyepong said, “I think we should do it by December this year [2025]. It should be done as quickly as possible.”
He explained that conducting the flagbearer elections early would enable the party to focus on expanding its base and strengthening its internal structures.
“We would have expanded the base first. We need to build what I’m calling the constituency caucuses. We have executives in place, their mandate hasn’t expired. Once we elect a flagbearer, all members have to support the candidate,” he said.
