A presidential aspirant for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwabena Agyepong, has called on party members to place their loyalty first and foremost in the party, rather than in any individual.
Speaking on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, he said, “People will come and go. Adu Boahen came, he left. Kufuor came, he left. Akufo-Addo came, and he has also left. We have to worship the NPP. Our first loyalty has to be to the party and not an individual.”
He added that while members may support the flagbearer, that support should come after prioritising the party.
“Even before we transfer that loyalty to whoever gets elected as flagbearer—and in this case I am praying that person will be me—even if it’s not me, it is nothing, as it is a party we are all joining,” he said.
Kwabena Agyepong, who has served as the NPP’s General Secretary, also defended his role as a custodian of the party’s history.
“I have been in the party for long, and I believe I am a custodian of the real historical record of this party. So, if someone is saying something and it’s not true, I have the right to correct it,” he stated.
He further stressed the need for strong leadership to address national challenges.
“I am here to campaign, and I urge Ghanaians that we need a leader who will change the country. We are making things worse in this country, and so we need change,” he said.
Mr. Agyepong concluded by reiterating the importance of prioritising the party over individuals. “We have to serve the NPP, not an individual,” he stressed.
The New Patriotic Party is scheduled to hold its presidential primaries in January 2026 to elect a flagbearer for the 2028 general elections.
