Dr. Bryan Acheampong, Member of Parliament for Abetifi and former Minister for Food and Agriculture, has declared his intention to run for the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer slot ahead of the 2028 general elections.
He made this known during a courtesy visit to the leadership of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, where he also requested their spiritual support as he prepares for the political contest.
Speaking to the media after the meeting on Tuesday, June 24, Dr. Acheampong explained that his decision follows a month-long assessment by a team that engaged with party delegates across the country.
He said the team’s findings showed a widespread desire for fresh leadership—something he believes he represents.
“A decision has been made that I will contest when the party opens nominations, but to do that, as a product of the church, it will be a disappointment per my tradition, if the moderator of the church hears it for the first time on the radio,” he stated.
“So, before the formal announcement is made, I thought it wise to inform the general council and the moderator of the Presby church. Most importantly, I am here to also seek the blessings of God,” Dr Acheampong said.
