Bryan Acheampong Eyes NPP Presidential Ticket, Forms Exploratory Committee to Gauge His Chances

Accra, Ghana - 29 May, 2025 - Former Minister for Food and Agriculture and current Member of Parliament for Abetifi, Dr. Bryan Acheampong, has thrown his hat into the ring, announcing the formation of an exploratory committee to gauge his viability as a presidential candidate within the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

In a statement released on Thursday, May 29, Dr. Acheampong cited "growing encouragement from a broad spectrum of party faithful" and "extensive consultations with family and well-wishers" as the driving forces behind his decision.

The exploratory committee, expected to present its findings within four weeks, will engage with grassroots members, key stakeholders, and constituents across the country to evaluate whether Dr. Acheampong's vision aligns with the aspirations of the party and the Ghanaian people.

According to Dr. Acheampong, the committee shares his commitment to discipline and unity within the party, as well as job creation, food security, youth and infrastructure development, safety and security, and good governance.

“This dedicated committee shares my commitment not only to discipline and unity within the Party but also to job creation, food security, youth and infrastructure development, safety and security, and good governance within our nation,” portions of the statement read.

Dr. Acheampong's potential presidential bid is built on a foundation of extensive experience within the NPP, having served as a grassroots organizer, party staffer, four-term Member of Parliament, Cabinet Minister, and long-time party financier. These roles, he said, have granted him invaluable insights into the sacrifices, dedication, and strategic vision required to build and sustain the party's foundations.

“These roles and experiences have granted me invaluable insights into the sacrifices, dedication, and strategic vision required to build and sustain the foundations of our Party.''
