Former NPP National Chairman Paul Awentami Afoko is set to file his nomination for the party's National Chairmanship race on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, at the party's headquarters in Accra. This filing is part of the extended nomination period rather than the beginning of his campaign. Afoko announced his candidacy in July 2026 and collected his nomination forms on August 18.
The deadline for filing has been pushed back from August 27 to August 29 due to a high number of aspirants. Afoko's campaign, known as the "3R Agenda," focuses on Reunite, Rebuild and Recapture, emphasizing the need to heal internal divisions and rebuild party structures before contesting the 2028 presidential election. Since announcing his bid, Afoko has met with delegates and supporters from various regions, promoting his candidacy on unity and reconciliation.
The filing marks the beginning of the NPP's national officer election process, with vetting scheduled from August 31 to September 3, results due on September 5, and voting by delegates on October 3, 2026.
