The member of parliament for Nhyiaeso, Stephen Amoah has thrown his support behind the former Assin Central member of parliament Kennedy Agyapong.
Stephen Amoah boldly asserted that Kennedy Agyapong wouldn’t get anything less than 57% in the NPP primaries.
The main front runners for the NPP’s flagbearer position are Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, former Assin Central MP Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, former Minister for Agriculture Bryan Acheampong, and former Minister for Education Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum.
Justin Frimpong Koduah, the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has revealed that the party will hold its presidential primaries on January 31, 2026.
According to Justin Frimpong Koduah, the National Council adopted a proposal from the constitution review committee.
The General Secretary stated, “The date for our presidential primaries is set for January 31, 2026.
That will be the date that we shall hold our presidential primaries. Because there is going to be a proposal or motion for amendment of our constitution, a planning committee has been put in place,” he stated.
Meanwhile, Justin Frimpong Kodua has rejected claims the party’s presidential primaries are skewed to favour the former vice president Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
Some NPP supporters and bigwigs have raised concerns surrounding the NPP’s presidential primaries.
According to Justin Kodua, he will be very surprised for anyone to think that the election which is yet to be conducted favours a particular candidate.
Speaking in an interview on Channel One TV Justin Kodua detailed, “I will be very surprised for anyone to think that an election that is yet to be conducted will favour a particular candidate.”
“If you have monitored our electoral history even from 1992, 1996 to 2000, at every election — from national through to polling stations — about 70%, sometimes even 80%, of current executives retain their positions,” he explained.
He added, “The fact that you may even start from polling station to national or national to polling station does not make it skewed towards a particular person. There are current executives who will still continue to be executives”.
