A number of flagbearer hopefuls of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have picked nomination forms to contest in the presidential race of the party.
Former Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko had his nomination forms picked by a team led by one of his aides, Benjamin Armah.
In an interview, Armah expressed his confidence in Agyarko's ability to secure victory in the 2024 elections.
“We are very confident that this is a man God has prepared among all the men in the NPP to succeed our current President Akufo-Addo. We believe that with his capabilities and as we tout him, the engine of public policy in the NPP, he will be able to bring hope to the ordinary Ghanaian,” said Benjamin Armah. He further emphasized Agyarko's extensive regional outreach, stating that he will be among the top contenders for the party's flagbearer position.
Another prominent figure to secure his nomination forms was the former General Secretary of the NPP, Kwabena Agyei Agyapong.
Additionally, Francis Addai-Nimoh, the former Member of Parliament for Mampong, picked up his forms with his spokesperson, George Obeng Antwi, expressing hope that Addai-Nimoh would become the President of Ghana in 2025.
Also, a two-time NPP presidential aspirant and economist, Dr. Kofi Konadu Apraku, had his team picking up forms on his behalf.
The NPP officially opened nominations on May 26, allowing individuals interested in leading the party in the 2024 elections to collect their nomination forms.
The forms can be obtained from the Office of the General Secretary at the Party Headquarters in Asylum Down, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday to Friday, according to a statement released by the party.
