Former New Patriotic Party’s National Treasurer, Mr Kwabena Abankwa Yeboah has officially filed his nomination to contest for First Vice Chairman of the NPP, with a strong call for unity, fairness, and structural rebuilding ahead of the party’s crucial comeback.
Speaking to the press after successfully filing his forms for the National Elections slated for October 3, 2026 in Kumasi, Yeboah reflected on his 33-year journey through the party and what he says the NPP needs now.
“For 33 years, I have served this great party at every level as polling station chairman in Klottey Korley constituency, as Greater Accra Regional Treasurer, and then as National Treasurer for two terms,” he stated. “I have seen how division can weaken our party, and also how fairness, transparency, and genuine inclusion brought us together.”
Track Record As National Treasurer
Yeboah said his tenure as National Treasurer was marked by systems that put every constituency first.
“As immediate past National Treasurer, I worked closely and cordially with my fellow national officers, regional officers, and with all the constituencies. We introduced timely support that reached all constituencies without favoritism. We insisted that every constituency open an account to protect party resources,” he explained.
“We built systems that serve the whole party and its constituents.”
He listed key achievements including championing the purchase of landed property for a befitting party headquarters, acquiring a printing facility for the head office that he said saves the party millions of cedis in printing fees and secures the integrity of party processes.
“We introduced innovative fundraising systems, such as the popular Adopt-a-Polling-Station and the NPP donation scratch card, which was popularly known as Ketua biaa Nsua,” he added.
What He Will Do As First Vice Chairman
Yeboah said if elected, his focus will be on three things: opening the party wider, uniting members, and rebuilding structures.
“This experience taught me that Unity grows when people feel respected and involved, when resources and opportunities are shared fairly, and when leaders listen more than they talk,” he noted.
“If elected First Vice Chairman of our great party, I shall pursue this same approach — to open doors wider, uniting our people, rebuilding our party structures, and standing firmly behind our National Chairman to work tirelessly to restore hope and trust, which are essential for victory 2028.”
Call For Collective Effort
The former National Treasurer acknowledged that the road ahead for the NPP is tough after its recent electoral setback, but said the party’s spirit remains alive.
“The challenges that confront us as a party are enormous. But the Spirit that has sustained us for generations is still alive and is calling us all to move forward,” he said.
“So, fellow party faithful, I ask for your vote in the coming election, and for your support, collaboration, and partnership in this crucial task of rebuilding our great party. United we can recover the lost ground and strive ahead.”
He concluded with his campaign theme: “United to rebuild, ready to win the 2028 election.”
The NPP National Delegates Conference will elect new national officers on October 3, 2026 in Kumasi, as the party positions itself for a return to power in the 2028 general elections.
