Member of Parliament for Abetifi and Former Minister for Food and Agriculture, Dr. Bryan Acheampong, has announced the formation of an exploratory committee to assess the viability of a presidential bid within the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
In a statement released on Thursday, Dr. Acheampong revealed that the move comes in response to “growing encouragement from a broad spectrum of party faithful” as well as “extensive consultations with family and well-wishers.”
The newly established committee will engage with grassroots members, key stakeholders, and constituents nationwide over the next four weeks to evaluate whether Dr. Acheampong’s vision aligns with the aspirations of the party and the broader Ghanaian populace.
“This dedicated committee shares my commitment not only to discipline and unity within the Party but also to job creation, food security, youth and infrastructure development, safety and security, and good governance within our nation,” Dr. Acheampong said in the statement.
Highlighting his longstanding involvement in the NPP, Dr. Acheampong described his political journey as both “lifelong and deeply personal,” referencing his roles as a grassroots organiser, party staffer, four-term Member of Parliament, Cabinet Minister, and a long-time financier of the party.
“These roles and experiences have granted me invaluable insights into the sacrifices, dedication, and strategic vision required to build and sustain the foundations of our Party,” he noted.
Reaffirming his loyalty to the NPP, Dr. Acheampong expressed confidence in the party’s ability to navigate current challenges and lead Ghana toward a more prosperous future.
“To our foot soldiers and all NPP faithful, I firmly believe in the Party’s capacity to overcome its challenges and once again lead Ghana towards a brighter future. May we remain steadfast in spirit and decorous in conduct in the pursuit of progress, inclusivity, and effective leadership for Ghana. May God be our helper,” he concluded.
