  "account": "Boakye Kyerematen Agyarko, a founding member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has vowed to rebuild the party through internal democracy, financial transparency, and reconciliation. He pledged his support for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia's presidential candidacy in the 2028 elections. Agyarko acknowledged the NPP's decline, noting its parliamentary representation fell from 169 seats in 2016 to 88 in 2024, and its presidential votes decreased by over 1.8 million in 2024. He attributed the party's disconnection to traders, teachers, farmers, drivers, and young graduates, explaining that they left because they no longer felt the party belonged to them. Drawing from the biblical account of Nehemiah rebuilding Jerusalem's walls, Agyarko emphasized that rebuilding the NPP requires more than speeches but actual work. He highlighted his 22 years at the Bank of New York, where he rose to Vice President, as part of his qualification for the chairmanship. A major part of his platform is a \"clean album\" ahead of future internal elections, including establishing a credible membership register, restoring party dues, and ensuring resources reach grassroots structures. Agyarko also called for unity among the party's various groups and pledged his total loyalty to Dr Bawumia, urging delegates to scrutinize his record before the October 3 national election.",
