Kennedy Agyapong’s Camp Picks Nomination Forms for 2026 Flagbearer Race

The battle for the soul of the NPP has officially begun — and Kennedy Agyapong is striking first.

In a dramatic twist to the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearership race, a high-powered delegation of Members of Parliament stormed the party’s headquarters on Tuesday, August 5, to pick up nomination forms on behalf of the outspoken Assin Central MP.

This bold move officially throws Kennedy Agyapong’s name back into the presidential ring — and sends a clear message to rivals: he’s not backing down.

Parliament Heavyweights Rally Behind Him

The MP-led entourage included some of the NPP’s most prominent figures:

Kwaku Kwarteng (Obuasi West)

Charles Forson (Tema West)

Stephen Amoah (Nhyiaeso)

Lawrence Agyinsam (Hemang Lower Denkyira)

They were joined by Dr. Alex Ampaabeng, former Deputy Finance Minister, who hasn’t minced words in his support for Agyapong — hailing him as “the man with the solutions to Ghana’s unemployment crisis.”

Agyapong Fires the First Shot

With the NPP’s presidential primaries slated for January 31, 2026, Agyapong becomes the first contender to officially pick up nomination forms — a calculated move that’s likely to ignite the political turf war within the party.

“The lines are being drawn, and the power blocs are taking shape,” one party insider hinted. “Kennedy’s team is making it clear they’re not here to play.”

Back from Defeat — and Ready to Battle

After a strong showing in the 2024 primaries where he finished second to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Agyapong has kept his political engine running — and his early entry into the 2026 race proves he’s not finished yet.

With visible backing from influential MPs and growing support at the grassroots, his campaign is expected to mount serious pressure on any rival hoping to dominate the race.

Countdown to January: Let the Showdown Begin

As the January 31 deadline inches closer, one thing is certain — Kennedy Agyapong is back, and he’s coming out swinging.
