NPP’s 2026 presidential primary heats up with shifting alliances ahead of January vote
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is preparing for its presidential primary in January 2026. Five candidates are competing to become the party's flagbearer, with recent shifts in support reshaping the race. A notable change came when former MP Ofosu Asamoah switched his backing to Dr Mahamudu Bawumia—after previously working for a rival campaign.
The NPP's upcoming primary in January will decide who leads the party into the 2026 elections. The contenders include Kwabena Agyepong, Kennedy Agyapong, Dr Bryan Acheampong, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, and Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum. Each has been campaigning across the country to secure delegates' votes.
The primary in January will determine the NPP's candidate for the 2026 general election. Asamoah's move to Bawumia's camp adds another layer to the contest. The outcome will shape the party's strategy as it prepares for the national vote.
