A presidential aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwabena Agyepong, has urged party members to place their loyalty first and foremost in the party rather than in any individual, stressing that the strength and future of the NPP depend on collective commitment to its ideals.
Speaking on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem, Mr Agyepong said political leaders are transient, but the party must remain the central focus of loyalty and service.
“People will come and go. Adu Boahen came, and he left. Kufuor came; he left. Akufo-Addo came, and he has also left. We have to worship the NPP. Our first loyalty has to be to the party and not an individual,” he stated.

He explained that while party members may support a flagbearer, such support should always be secondary to devotion to the party itself.
“Even before we transfer that loyalty to whoever gets elected as flagbearer, and in this case I am praying that person will be me, even if it’s not me, it is nothing, as it is a party we are all joining,” he added.
Mr Agyepong, a former General Secretary of the NPP, also defended his frequent interventions in internal party debates, describing himself as a custodian of the party’s institutional memory.
“I have been in the party for long, and I believe I am a custodian of the real historical record of this party. So, if someone is saying something and it’s not true, I have the right to correct it,” he said.
Touching on national issues, the presidential hopeful stressed the need for decisive and transformative leadership to address Ghana’s challenges.
“I am here to campaign, and I urge Ghanaians that we need a leader who will change the country. We are making things worse in this country, and so we need change,” he noted.
Mr Agyepong concluded by reiterating his call for party unity and discipline, insisting that personal allegiances must never supersede loyalty to the NPP.
“We have to serve the NPP, not an individual,” he stressed.
The New Patriotic Party is expected to hold its presidential primaries in January 2026 to elect a flagbearer for the 2028 general elections.
