The NPP is expected to hold its presidential primary on Saturday, January 31, 2026. Five people are contesting for the position.
The five contestants are former Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong, former Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, former Agric Minister, Dr Byran Acheampong, former Education Minister, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum and former General Secretary of the NPP, Kwabena Agyapong.
According to the man at Circle, he is a card-bearing member of the NPP and does not believe Dr Bawumia is a winnable candidate. He explained that since he led them to the party's worst defeat to date in the 2024 elections, he does not deserve to be given another chance.
He further explained that it is time for a businessman to govern the country since people from other career fields have been Presidents before.
"I am a true member of the NPP. We do not want Dr Bawumia to lead us into the 2028 elections. He led us into 2024, and we were defeated. We will not maintain him. If they don't elect Kennedy Agyapong as the NPP flagbearer, I have about 3000 people I can convince to vote against the NPP."
"I am the Operations Manager at Circle No. Two Market. I oversee the traders there. In the history of Ghana's governance, we have tried a judge, a lawyer and an economist, and they have all failed us. It is time to give a businessman a chance to govern the country. The President of the United States of America is a businessman. Let us vote for the businessman," he added.
