Dr Bryan Acheampong, Member of Parliament for Abetifi and a contender in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearership race, has assured former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia of his full backing if he wins the party’s presidential primary.

Speaking ahead of the NPP primaries scheduled for January 31, 2026, Dr Acheampong emphasised that unity within the party would be decisive for success in the 2028 general elections. He stated that he has no ill feelings about the outcome of the internal contest and is prepared to rally behind the eventual winner.

In an interview on Face to Face on Channel One TV on Tuesday, December 23, with host Umaru Sanda Amadu, the Abetifi MP disclosed that he has formally committed himself to supporting whoever emerges victorious.

“We need a unifier. I will support him [Dr Bawumia] fully. I have even signed a document to that effect,” he said.

Dr Acheampong also revealed that during a recent media interaction, one of the presidential hopefuls was unable to clearly state whether they would back Dr Bawumia if he wins the primary.

Beyond the internal elections, he outlined plans to strengthen discipline within the NPP, arguing that growing divisions and a culture of insults could undermine the party’s prospects.

“I have assured delegates that discipline will be restored in the party. Discipline is key, and someone must lead that effort, and I am ready to do so,” he stated.

He added that his campaign approach has been inclusive and grassroots-focused, with an emphasis on ensuring that logistical resources reach polling stations across the country.

“My campaign is about making everyone feel involved. I will make sure resources are available at the polling stations,” he noted.

On national development, Dr Acheampong called for bold leadership capable of driving economic transformation, job creation and infrastructure expansion.

“We need decisive leadership leaders who understand business, know how to create jobs, generate revenue and grow infrastructure. Productivity must improve beyond where we are today,” he said.
