NPP needs Boakye Agyarko as National Chairman - Dr Asah Asante
What the NPP needs is somebody who is disciplined, firm, and focused
Dr. Kwame Asah Asante, a political science lecturer at the University of Ghana, has called for former Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko to become the National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) ahead of the upcoming chairmanship race. He believes that the party is currently in a state of disarray and needs a strong, disciplined leader like Agyarko to restore order and direction.
According to Asante, Agyarko possesses the qualities necessary to lead the party effectively, stating that he is a man of ideas and can provide the necessary power to the NPP. However, Executive Director of Global InforAnalytics, Mussah Dankwah, has expressed concerns about Agyarko's potential to function as chairman, citing his strained relationship with former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo during the flagbearer campaign.
Dankwah believes that Agyarko's controversial comments during the campaign have negatively impacted his standing within the party, and that his relationship with Akufo-Addo, a senior figure in the party, may create challenges if he were to be elected as chairman. The NPP is set to elect national executives at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi on Saturday, October 3, 2026, as part of their preparations for the 2028 general elections.
This event will see 7,163 delegates from across Ghana participate, with the highest representation coming from the Ashanti Region, followed by Greater Accra and Eastern regions.
