Former National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Paul Awentami Afoko, has officially thrown his hat into the ring for the position of National Chairman in the Party’s upcoming national officers’ election.
The announcement, made through a statement in Accra, marks a significant moment in the NPP’s political calendar as the party steers toward a pivotal leadership contest.
Mr. Afoko revealed that his decision to contest followed months of thoughtful reflection and encouragement from a wide cross-section of party members, supporters, and influential stakeholders. According to him, there is a growing consensus within the party for a return to its founding values and democratic ideals, principles he is determined to champion.
“This decision has not been taken lightly,” Mr. Afoko said. “It comes after careful consideration and in response to consistent calls for leadership renewal rooted in the founding values and ideals of our great Party.”
Throughout his announcement, Mr. Afoko emphasized his long-standing commitment to the NPP, underscoring his deep desire to help rebuild and strengthen the party at what he described as a critical juncture in its history. “While the journey has not been without its trials, I have always chosen to prioritise the unity and progress of the NPP above all else,” he stated.
He further outlined his vision for the party, expressing hope for a future where the NPP is “re-energised, inclusive, and better positioned to deliver on its promise to the Ghanaian people.” Mr. Afoko’s campaign, he assured, would be anchored on integrity, transparency, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Over the coming weeks, he plans to engage widely with party members, delegates, and the media, sharing his vision for the NPP’s future and listening to the concerns of stakeholders across the country.
In a rallying call to party members, Mr. Afoko concluded his statement with a message of collective optimism and renewal: “Let us look ahead together. God bless the NPP. God bless our dear country.”
As the race for the National Chairmanship intensifies, Mr. Afoko, who previously served as NPP National Chairman—is expected to campaign on themes of reconciliation, inclusiveness, and a return to the Party’s core values, hoping to inspire a new era of unity and purpose within the NPP.
