Boakye Agyarko Meets Eastern Regional NPP Executives As National Chairman Bid Gains Momentum
Hon. Boakye Agyarko has begun consultations with regional party structures in his campaign for National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, with an engagement with Eastern Regional Executives earlier today at the Regional Party Office.
The former Energy Minister, who hails from the Eastern Region, used the meeting to formally seek the blessings and support of the regional leadership for his chairmanship bid ahead of the NPP’s national executive elections.
Commends Region’s 2024 Performance
Addressing the executives, Hon. Agyarko praised the Eastern Region for its “resilience and strong electoral performance” in the 2024 general elections despite challenges faced by the party nationally. He noted the region’s continued strategic importance to the NPP and urged members to remain committed to the party’s ideals.
Calls For Unity Ahead Of 2028
With the 2028 general elections in focus, Agyarko stressed the need for unity, reconciliation, and discipline within the party.
“Victory in 2028 will require a united and disciplined front,” he told the executives, calling on party faithful to “forgive one another, close ranks, and work together in the supreme interest of the NPP.”
He also cautioned against acts of indiscipline that undermine the party’s image, warning that unchecked misconduct could erode gains made over the years. He pledged to strengthen discipline across all levels while pushing for improved welfare schemes for party officers and members, plus structural reforms to make party administration more efficient.
Pledges Fairness And Inclusiveness
Touching on party administration, the aspirant reiterated his commitment to fairness, transparency, and inclusiveness. He said he would support the equitable implementation of opportunities promised by the party’s 2024 Flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
Regional Support
The Eastern Regional Executives, led by Regional Secretary Tony Osei Agyei, received his message warmly and assured him of their support.
Hon. Agyarko was accompanied by several party figures including Hon. Alex Tetteh, former MP for Akontombra; George Krobea Asante, Deputy National Communications Director; Dr. Twum Berimah-Koranteng, Eastern Regional 1st Vice Chairman; Mr. Frank Appiah, Eastern Regional 2nd Vice Chairman; and constituency chairmen and organizers from Upper Manya, Lower Manya, Yilo Krobo, Okere, and Suhum.
The engagement forms part of Agyarko’s ongoing consultations with party stakeholders across the country as he positions himself for the NPP National Chairmanship contest.
