The move signals a formal step in Agyarko's campaign to clinch the NPP's top administrative position.

The collection of nomination forms marks the beginning of what is expected to be a competitive internal race within the party, which is currently in opposition following the December 2024 general elections.

Alhassan's involvement carries symbolic weight. As a former parliamentarian who held the Ayawaso West Wuogon seat, her public alignment with Agyarko's campaign adds a recognisable political profile to his push for the chairperson role.

Internal contests for positions such as the national chairperson are expected to draw significant interest from senior figures within the party as it looks to rebuild and position itself ahead of the next electoral cycle.

Agyarko, a former Energy Minister under the Akufo-Addo administration, is among those signalling ambitions to shape the party's direction from within its executive leadership.

Former Ayawaso West Wuogon MP and sister-in-law of Boakye Agyarko, Lydia Seyram Alhassan, has led supporters to pick his nomination forms to contest the NPP National Chairperson position.
