“NPP Risks 12 Years in Opposition If You Don’t Elect Me” – Ing. Kwabena Agyepong Warns Delegates

Ing. Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, a presidential aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has issued a final rallying call to party delegates ahead of Saturday’s crucial presidential primaries.

He has warned that the party risks spending 12 years in opposition if it fails to make the right choice.

Addressing delegates at Juaben in the morning and later at Krofrom in the afternoon on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, Ing. Kwabena Agyepong said the decision delegates take on Saturday, January 31, will determine the future direction of the NPP and its ability to return to power.

According to him, the NPP, whether it likes it or not, must endure the remaining three years of President John Dramani Mahama’s administration, stressing that Ghanaians have largely settled into a pattern of giving presidents two full terms.

“Ghanaians have decided to give eight years to every president. If I am not elected to bring the NPP back to power, then we should be prepared to stay in opposition for 12 years,” he cautioned.

Ing. Kwabena Agyepong described himself as the hope of the present and the future of the NPP, insisting that the party needs a unifier with deep roots, institutional memory, and the courage to rebuild from the ground up.

He said the outcome of Saturday’s primaries will clearly show whether delegates are prepared to bring the party “back home” or allow it to drift further from its founding principles.

“What you do on Saturday will show,” he told delegates, adding that the foundation of the NPP has always been unity, discipline, and shared sacrifice.

Drawing from his long years of service and personal sacrifices for the party, Ing. Kwabena Agyepong assured delegates that he will not forget those who stand with him at this defining moment.

“I will remember you if you remember me on Saturday,” he said, a statement that drew applause from party faithful.

The Juaben and Krofrom meetings marked the final leg of his Ashanti Region mop-up campaign, as he wraps up weeks of engagements with grassroots delegates ahead of the January 31, 2026 presidential primaries.

Throughout the campaign, Agyepong has consistently pitched a vision anchored on party unity, ethical leadership, meritocracy, and a return to the NPP’s core values, arguing that only a credible and trusted candidate can reunite the party and present a strong alternative to the electorate in 2028.

As the primaries draw near, his message remains clear: the choice delegates make on Saturday could either shorten or prolong the NPP’s stay in opposition.
