Dr Bryan Acheampong (L) and Mohammed Amin, popularly known as Don King
Veteran grassroots organiser Mohammed Amin, popularly known as Don King, appears to have rejoined the New Patriotic Party (NPP) ahead of the party’s crucial January 31, 2026, presidential primaries.
Don King, once a formidable organiser for the NPP in the Northern Region and a household name in Zongo communities, had stepped back from recent party activities.
However, following a recent private meeting with Dr Bryan Acheampong, he has reportedly announced his full return to active politics, pledging his unflinching support for the former Minister of Agriculture.
Confirming the development in an interview with Radio Tamale, Alhaji Baba, Director of Operations for the Bryan Acheampong Campaign, described Don King’s endorsement as a major milestone.
“Don King has promised to work for the party again after meeting Dr Bryan Acheampong. He believes Bryan is the only person who can unite the NPP and return it to power in 2028. He told us he won’t rest until Bryan becomes the leader of the party and eventually, the President of Ghana,” the post by Radio Tamale quoted Alhaji Baba as saying.
While Don King has yet to make a public appearance or confirmation, persons close to the campaign believe that he will join Dr Acheampong on the trail in the coming weeks.
The NPP is scheduled to hold its delegates’ congress on January 31, 2026, to elect a new flagbearer ahead of the 2028 general elections.
With the race expected to be tightly contested, political observers believe endorsements from long-time grassroots figures could prove decisive.
Dr Bryan Acheampong is one of the leading contenders in the NPP flagbearer race, campaigning on a message of unity, renewal, and grassroots empowerment.
