Ahead of the NPP’s flagbearership contest next year, several members have dropped subtle hints of picking forms to contest the race.

Even though Vice President Dr Bawumia and Trade Minister Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen have been widely tipped as the leading contenders, some believe Mr Agyapong will cause an upset.

In May of this year, Mr Agyapong publicly announced his bid to lead the NPP when he said if the party wants to break the eight as their mantra for 2024 is, they must do so with him.

Other contenders who are rumoured to be lacing their boots for the race to lead the NPP in the 2024 elections include a former General Secretary, Kwabena Agyapong, former Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko, Agric Minister Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto and Essikado-Ketan MP, Joe Ghartey.
