The Member of Parliament for the Okere Constituency in the Eastern Region, Daniel Nana Addo Kenneth, has urged members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to respect his decision to throw his weight behind Bryan Acheampong.
According to him, his endorsement of Mr. Acheampong’s candidature follows thorough consultations.
He noted that he consulted with party executives, including his godfather and former MP for the area, Daniel Kwaku Botwe, before endorsing Bryan Acheampong among the other four candidates vying for the slot.
Mr. Kenneth added that deep down, he believes Bryan Acheampong is the only candidate among the five aspirants who can secure victory for the NPP in 2028.
He went on to clarify that Dan Kwaku Botwe has not declared his support for any of the presidential candidates. Instead, he is waiting for the outcome of the elections and will rally behind the winner to reclaim the presidential seat from the National Democratic Congress.
He explained that Daniel Botwe is now a senior figure in the party and is always cautious with his choices. He noted that the indiscipline among the members is affecting the party’s activities and needs a leader who can address these issues and unite them after the election.
Mr. Kenneth stated that his godfather’s decision to abstain from the internal election demonstrates his readiness to work with whichever candidate emerges victorious on January 31, 2026.
“Daniel Botwe doesn’t have a problem with me after explaining why I chose Bryan Acheampong over the other candidates because we are all championing for the party to come to power in 2028,” he noted.
He emphasized that Bryan Acheampong prioritizes the development of the party, which is why he continues to preach unity among its members.
“If Bryan Acheampong becomes the next President of the country, he will create more jobs to curb the disturbing unemployment rate menace confronting the youth,” he mentioned.
Mr. Kenneth then appealed to NPP delegates heading to the polls on January 31, 2025, to vote for Bryan Acheampong to lead the party into the 2028 elections.
The Okere MP made these remarks at Awukugua on Thursday, October 16, when Bryan Acheampong met the NPP delegates in the constituency and urged them to give him the nod to become the flagbearer and lead the party into the 2028 general elections.
