Thousands of delegates from across the Ashanti Region on Sunday converged at Heroes Park in Kumasi as New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Dr Bryan Acheampong, concluded his campaign engagements in the party’s traditional stronghold with a call for unity, discipline and renewal.
More than 11,000 delegates attended the event, which marked Dr Acheampong’s final major interaction with party members in the region ahead of the upcoming primary.
The gathering was characterised by chants, singing and dancing as supporters clad in party colours welcomed the aspirant.
In his address, Dr Acheampong outlined what he described as a clear roadmap for rebuilding the party and positioning it for victory in the 2028 general election.

He stressed that electoral success would require careful planning, internal cohesion and disciplined leadership.
“This campaign has been about listening and learning. I have travelled to all 276 constituencies across the country, not once but twice, engaging with our people and understanding their concerns. Leadership must be deliberate, strategic and disciplined,” he told the gathering
Several delegates who spoke to reporters expressed confidence in his message and leadership style, noting his emphasis on grassroots engagement and party unity.
“He speaks to us as colleagues, not from a distance,” said Afia Serwaa, a polling station organiser from Ejisu.
“Many of us believe he has what it takes to bring the party together and lead us to victory.”
Dr Acheampong also highlighted the organisational structure of his campaign, arguing that winning future elections would depend on early preparation and coordinated effort rather than chance.
Recent surveys by the Future Governance Analytics Project (FGAP) suggest a surge in support for Dr Acheampong, with analysts indicating that he is making strong gains in the race and positioning himself to secure the required majority in the contest.Delegates from various constituencies across the region echoed similar sentiments.
“We want leadership that values the grassroots, and he has shown that he listens,” said Kwaku Mensah, a constituency executive from Nhyiaeso.
Others pointed to his organisational approach and energy as strengths they believe could help the party regain momentum nationally.
With Ashanti regarded as a critical base for the NPP, Dr Acheampong’s strong showing at Heroes Park underscored his determination to consolidate support in the region as the primary draws near.
As the party prepares to choose its next flagbearer, observers say the Ashanti engagement could play a significant role in shaping the outcome, with Dr Acheampong emerging as a key contender in the race for the party’s future direction ahead of the 2028 general election.
