Kwabena Agyei Agyepong Declares Bid for NPP Flagbearership, Touts Himself as Best Bet for 2028

Accra, Ghana – July 29, 2025 – Veteran politician and a prominent figure within the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, has officially declared his intention to contest the party's presidential primaries ahead of the 2028 general elections. In a bold statement, Agyepong asserted that he is the NPP's "best bet" to secure victory in the upcoming polls.

The announcement, widely reported by Peace FM Online, features Agyepong addressing supporters, a clear indication of his readiness to vie for the highest office. His declaration adds another dimension to the race for the NPP's flagbearer position, which is expected to be keenly contested.

Agyepong's political career within the NPP spans several years, during which he has held various key positions, including General Secretary. His decision to run comes after a period of relative quiet from the frontlines of active party leadership, making his re-entry into the flagbearership contest a significant development.

In his address, Agyepong reportedly outlined his vision for Ghana and emphasized his unique qualifications and experience as reasons why he stands out among potential aspirants. He is expected to roll out his campaign machinery in the coming months, seeking to garner support from party delegates across the country.

His bid sets the stage for what promises to be an intriguing internal contest within the NPP as other hopefuls are also expected to make their intentions known. The party's delegates will ultimately decide who leads them into the 2028 presidential elections.
