Former Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has formally taken the first major step in his bid to lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP) into the 2028 general elections by picking nomination forms for the party’s 2026 presidential primaries.
The announcement was made on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, through a Facebook post by his campaign spokesperson, Kwasi Kwarteng.
“Official Update: Hon. Ken Ohene Agyapong has officially picked nomination forms to contest in the 2026 NPP Flagbearship race,” the post read.

Kennedy Agyapong’s decision reaffirms his long-standing ambition to become the NPP’s flagbearer. The outspoken politician and businessman was a key contender in the party’s 2024 presidential primaries, where he campaigned on a platform of discipline, patriotism, and economic transformation. These themes, political analysts predict, will continue to form the backbone of his 2026 campaign.
Agyapong, known for his frank and often fiery political commentary, has long positioned himself as a candidate who can bridge the gap between party loyalty and national development priorities. His political style — combining grassroots appeal with a focus on economic self-reliance — has earned him both staunch supporters and fierce critics within and outside the NPP.
With the picking of nomination forms, his campaign machinery is expected to intensify activities across the country, engaging delegates and stakeholders ahead of the primaries. Sources close to his team indicate that strategic consultations are already underway to consolidate his support base, particularly in the party’s strongholds.
The 2026 NPP presidential primaries are anticipated to be highly competitive, with other prominent party figures also expected to throw their hats into the ring. For Agyapong, however, this early move signals not just intent but also readiness to mount a serious and well-resourced campaign.
The NPP flagbearership race will ultimately determine who leads the party into the 2028 general elections, a contest many view as critical to the party’s political future after two decades of alternating power with the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
