Africa-Press – Ghana. As the NPP gets ready for its National Conference on Saturday, July 19, 2025, many are talking about one man—Dr Bryan Acheampong.
His decision to run for the party’s flagbearer isn’t just about politics. It is about fixing what’s broken and bringing people together with a new leadership style.
A statement from his team members and copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra said Dr. Acheampong had served as MP for Abetifi, held top ministerial roles, and built strong and successful businesses in the private sector.
“Through his foundation, he has helped many Ghanaians, showing he’s not just about talk but about action.
“Since he started engaging Ghanaians on his ambition, his message has focused on uniting and renewing the party to grow the economy fairly.
“Many now see him as a leader who acts, unites, and brings fresh energy to the NPP”.
The Statement said the NPP was facing internal challenges with disagreement and doubt, which Dr Acheampong believed was the time to come together, not fight.
“He has asked all party members to focus on building a stronger NPP, not chasing personal ambition. “This is not the time for division or personal ambition. It is the time to build.”
The statement said Dr. Acheampong’s style had been likened to Lee Kuan Yew, the first Prime Minister of Singapore.
“ Singapore had serious problems, but Lee led with discipline, vision, and integrity. He built a strong country by staying focused and being honest. Dr. Acheampong is trying to do the same for the NPP: unite the party, strengthen its core, and build trust to win the love of Ghanaians again.
“Recently, some social media posts tried to paint a confusing picture about his role at the National Council meeting. His team quickly responded with a clear message: any official information must come from the party’s spokespeople. This kind of calm, no-drama leadership is what the party and the country need”.
The statement said Dr. Acheampong’s plan was simple, to rebuild the NPP first as change starts with ordinary people, not just party executives.
“His ideas aim to restore trust and help the party connect better with Ghanaians.
“Ghana is going through a tough time. The NPP needs someone who can bring people together, focus on solutions, and lead with strength. Dr Bryan Acheampong has shown he has the experience, the mindset, and the heart to do it.
“He’s not just running for office. He’s ready to lead a real transformation. If the NPP wants to move forward, this is the kind of leader it must stand behind”.
