On the morning of Tuesday, October 21, 2025, the private residence of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in Nima, Accra, became the setting for a pivotal moment in Ghana’s political calendar. Gathered around the breakfast table were the five presidential hopefuls of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), drawn together by Akufo-Addo’s invitation for a meeting designed to nurture unity and camaraderie ahead of the party’s eagerly anticipated presidential primaries.
The gathering, which also included key figures such as Hackman Owusu-Agyemang, Chairman of the NPP Council of Elders, acting National Chairman Danquah Smith Buttey, General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong, Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, and former Chief of Staff Akosua Frema Osei-Opare, underscored the NPP’s commitment to party cohesion as the January 31, 2026, primaries approach.
During the meeting, Akufo-Addo expressed his deep appreciation to the aspirants—Ken Ohene Agyapong, Dr. Bryan Acheampong, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, and Ing. Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, for taking time away from their demanding campaign itineraries to participate in the breakfast. He praised each for their individual contributions to the party and the nation, emphasizing that every candidacy was built on merit and a track record of service.
The former president highlighted the importance of conducting the primaries in a spirit of healthy competition, focusing on substantive issues and visionary leadership. He reminded the group that the unity and credibility of the party would be crucial in rallying support and energizing the NPP base for the 2028 general elections.
In a powerful display of solidarity, all five aspirants pledged, on behalf of themselves and their campaign teams, to maintain a respectful and competitive atmosphere throughout the campaign. They also committed to supporting the party’s eventual nominee, vowing to unite behind the winner and uphold the NPP’s cohesion after the primaries.
Akufo-Addo closed the meeting by encouraging party leadership to ensure a fair and transparent process, reaffirming his belief that a united NPP is best positioned to secure victory in the years ahead.
As the primaries draw near, the breakfast meeting stands out as a beacon of party unity, setting the tone for a competitive yet collaborative race—one that could shape Ghana’s political landscape for years to come.
