Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye, the Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has announced his plans to contest in the party’s 2028 general elections.
According to Abronye DC, he is qualified to contest for the position as he holds a Second-Class Upper in Law from the University of Ghana.
Speaking in an interview on Okay FM on July 16, 2025, Abronye DC announced, “Do you know that I will be contesting the flagbearership position of the NPP? I will contest, so I am also a potential aspirant.
I am more qualified than most of the people who have shown interest. If it is about certificates, I have a lot. And this is not about those ones that GTEC will question me about.
I had a Second-Class Upper in Law from the University of Ghana, Legon,” he added.
The NPP primaries are heating up with the main front runners for the NPP’s flagbearer position, 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.
Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, a former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is expected to enter the NPP’s flagbearership race, and now Abronye has also hinted at his desire to enter the race.
However, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the former vice president and presidential candidate for the NPP in the 2024 election, is the preferred candidate for the majority of the NPP supporters.
A survey conducted by the Africa Policy Lens Survey revealed that 70.6% of NPP members preferred Dr Bawumia ahead of the NPP presidential primaries on January 31, 2026.
The recent analysis by Africa Policy Lens unveiled significant insights regarding the preferences of supporters within the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) and their views on potential flagbearers for the next general elections in 2028.
The report indicates that former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia remains the frontrunner among NPP supporters for the party’s presidential candidacy in 2028.
Africa Policy Lens Survey is quoted by GHONE TV to have stated, “70.6% of NPP members prefer Bawumia as presidential candidate”.
Nevertheless, Solomon Owusu, a leading member of the Movement for Change, has said Ghanaians will not vote for any of the NPP presidential aspirants.
According to Solomon Owusu, the reasons why the NPP was booted out of office in the 2024 election are still relevant.
He quizzed the NPP how they will convince Ghanaians that they will deal with issues of corruption when they go and sit on the floor while people who are accused of being corrupt are being handled by the state.
