Former Energy Minister Boakye Kyeremateng Agyarko has officially declared his intention to contest for the position of National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
In a press statement released on Tuesday, September 30, Mr. Agyarko described his decision as a “call to duty” after extensive consultations with family, close associates, and party faithful.
“I have had consultations with members of my family and those who are very close to me, and whose lives would be most affected by the decisions I make,” he stated. “I have also listened carefully to what the broad masses of our party people, and indeed many outside our party, are asking of me.”
Mr. Agyarko emphasised that his decision is rooted in a deep sense of responsibility and service to the party.
“Having factored in all the considerations, I see it as my bounden duty to respond to this call to duty, and hereby announce that I will contest for the position of NATIONAL CHAIRMAN of my party upon the opening of nominations.”
The announcement comes at a critical time as the NPP prepares for internal elections ahead of the 2028 general elections.
