Former Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Publishing Company, David Asante, has publicly declared his support for Dr Bryan Acheampong in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) upcoming presidential primary.
In a Facebook post on Thursday, July 17, Mr Asante endorsed the Abetifi MP as the candidate best positioned to help the party recover from its poor showing in the 2024 general elections.
Reflecting on the NPP’s performance in the last election, Asante wrote: “We lost at the polling stations, we lost at the constituencies, we lost at regional levels, we lost Parliament, we lost the Presidency miserably, it was an outright rejection overall.”
He emphasised the need for deep introspection and credible leadership that listens to the concerns of the Ghanaian electorate.
The former CEO stressed that the choice of flagbearer for the 2026 contest would shape the party’s chances in the next electoral cycle.
“Who leads our Party will determine our path way in 2028 and beyond!” he stated.
In that regard, Mr Asante presented Dr Bryan Acheampong as a leader with the capacity and clarity to reposition the party for future success, writing: “May I introduce to you Dr. Bryan Acheampong…”
Dr Acheampong, who currently serves as the Member of Parliament for Abetifi, has already declared his intention to contest the NPP’s presidential primary, which is slated for January 31, 2026.
His campaign is expected to focus on party reorganisation, grassroots empowerment, and rebuilding trust with the electorate after the NPP’s electoral defeat in 2024.
