Former Western North Regional Minister, Joojo Rocky Obeng, has announced that he has shifted his support from Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to Kennedy Agyapong, citing research showing that NPP grassroots members are calling for new leadership and a fresh direction.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr. Obeng explained that his close interactions with party members after the 2024 elections revealed widespread calls for change.
He added that further research conducted in other regions confirmed that delegates and supporters are seeking renewed tactics and leadership to strengthen the NPP’s chances of returning to power in 2028.
“My work as a regional minister allowed me to engage closely with party members. This has given me the opportunity to gather insights into the central mindset of the party and government. Every party loyalist wants to see progress and strength in order to remain in power. After the elections, I spent significant time in the region, engaging with constituents to understand how we could reinvigorate the energy and passion for the party. It became clear to me that a new direction was necessary.
“I even tasked researchers with studying other regions, and the results indicated that the party needed to change its tactics. We must make decisive moves to strengthen the party so that we can win future elections. My decision to support Kennedy Agyapong was based on thorough research rather than emotions. The findings are concerning for other contenders, including Dr. Bawumia,” he added.
