New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Dr. Bryan Acheampong, has asserted that he is the only candidate capable of uniting the party and leading it to victory in the 2028 general elections.

According to him, deep-seated internal divisions within the party played a major role in its defeat in the last general election and must be resolved if the NPP hopes to return to power.

Dr. Acheampong made the remarks on Saturday, January 17, 2026, while addressing party delegates in the Obom, Amasaman, and Trobu constituencies during the second and final day of his Greater Accra Regional campaign ahead of the party’s flagbearer contest.

Reflecting on the party’s recent challenges, he noted that the post-election Thank You Tour could not be completed due to internal disagreements.

“Remember, we lost the last election and were on our way for just a Thank You Tour. Even then, we could not complete it because of petty fights. Some people were dropped from the bus and told that utterances from their mouths contributed to our loss,” he told the delegates.

Dr. Acheampong questioned the party’s ability to unite behind other leading contenders should they emerge victorious, expressing doubts about cohesion within the party.
“I ask you this because we are all seeking power. Who here believes that if Kennedy Agyapong wins, Abronye DC and supporters of Dr. Bawumia will fully support him for us to win power?” he asked.

He raised similar concerns regarding a potential victory for former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, suggesting that internal divisions would persist regardless.

“What about the situation if Dr. Bawumia wins? I am the only one who can unify this party for victory in 2028,” he said.

Dr. Acheampong urged delegates to rally behind him, insisting that his candidacy presents the party with its best opportunity to reclaim power.

“You all know that if we push these two, we will struggle to win power.

Present me, let me win power for our party,” he added.
