Former Member of Parliament for Asante Akim North, Andy Kwame Appiah-Kubi
Former Member of Parliament for Asante Akim North, Andy Kwame Appiah-Kubi, has thrown his full support behind former Minister of Food and Agriculture, Dr Bryan Acheampong, describing him as the right candidate to lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP) into the 2028 general elections.
In a video shared by GHOne TV on Sunday, May 25, 2025, Appiah-Kubi, speaking to the media, confirmed that the MP for Abetifi will contest in the party’s presidential primaries with the aim of securing the flagbearer position.
He also mentioned that Bryan Acheampong possesses the leadership qualities and competence needed to bring the NPP back into power and advance the country’s development.
“Bryan Acheampong is well-educated, and his good works speak for themselves. He owns Rock City Hotel, the biggest hotel in Africa. He is also a generous person, supporting many students at Achimota Senior High School among others,” he stated in Twi.
“He is the only person who can bring the party back to power. The NPP is the only party that can develop Ghana. We believe we can do better, and Bryan Acheampong is the one who can deliver that,” the former lawmaker asserted.
This endorsement follows a report by GHOne TV indicating Bryan Acheampong’s intention to contest for the NPP flagbearer position with the caption “Bryan Acheampong to contest NPP flagbearership,” accompanied with an image of the former Minister of Agriculture under the Akufo-Addo administration.
His candidacy has already attracted support from several prominent figures within the party, including former NPP member Hopeson Adorye, MP for Mpraeso Davis Ansah Opoku, and Andy Kwame Appiah-Kubi himself. These individuals have publicly expressed their commitment to campaigning for Acheampong’s bid.
Bryan Acheampong brings extensive experience to the race, having served in multiple high-level government roles, including as Minister of State at the Ministry of the Interior and Minister of Food and Agriculture.
He holds a PhD in Information Systems from the University of Ghana and a certificate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
As the opposition NPP gears up for its internal elections, Bryan Acheampong’s entry into the flagbearership race is expected to add a dynamic element to the contest.
