- Kwabena Agyepong urged the NPP to embrace values of sacrifice, integrity, and service over materialism and greed
- He advocated for a new kind of politician committed to the welfare of ordinary citizens
- Ing. Agyepong made these remarks as part of his broader vision while contesting for the party’s 2028 flagbearership
Ing. Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, a former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and a contender for the party’s 2028 presidential flagbearership, has made a clarion call for a return to core values—urging the NPP to embrace sacrifice, humility, and service over the current culture of materialism and personal gain.
Speaking at an event commemorating the 78th anniversary of the formation of the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC)—Ghana’s first political movement—Agyepong expressed concern about the moral direction of the party and the nation.
The forum was organized by the Patriotic Institute in partnership with the NPP Council of Elders, and chaired by Hon. Hackman Owusu-Agyemang.
“We must respect and reward those who have sacrificed—not those who have become acquisitive in life,” Ing. Agyepong declared, calling for the restoration of principled leadership in the party.
Positioning himself as the candidate of renewal and responsibility, Ing. Agyepong emphasized that politics should be rooted in the welfare of the ordinary Ghanaian—particularly the underprivileged—and not in the pursuit of personal wealth or power.
“The centerpiece of politics is the welfare of the ordinary person. As a party, we must embrace a collegial spirit that prioritizes collective good over individual interest,” he said.
Ing. Agyepong’s remarks reflect his broader campaign message, which champions ethical leadership, constitutionalism, and discipline in public office.
He stressed the need for a new kind of politician—one who respects the laws of the country and lives by the principle of loving one’s neighbor as oneself.
“This is how we build a new Ghanaian—one who puts country first,” he added.
The event, attended by party elders and a vibrant group of young participants, reinforced Agyapong’s confidence in the future of the NPP’s political tradition and the role of young people in reshaping it.
He commended the Patriotic Institute and the Council of Elders for providing a platform to engage meaningfully on the party’s founding vision and the need to return to a politics of conscience.
