“Whoever Wins NPP Flagbearer Race Will Lose in 2028” – Berekum West MP
Berekum West MP Dickson Kyere-Duah says the NPP next flagbearer will be defeated in the 2028 general elections regardless of who wins the party’s primaries. On the JoyNews AM Show which was monitored by GhanaView, he argued the incumbent NDC is “poised to retain power.”

Hon. Kyere-Duah, an NDC lawmaker, insisted his party is unperturbed by the NPP’s internal contest. He stressed that “whoever wins is definitely going to taste a very bitter defeat in 2028.” He also name-checked leading contenders and maintained the outcome of the primary will not change the electoral math in four years’ time.
The NPP primaries Contenders
The NPP flagbearer election is scheduled for January 2026 with five candidates in the race:
- Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia (former Vice President)
- Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum (former Education Minister)
- Kennedy Agyapong (former Assin Central MP)
- Bryan Acheampong
- Kwabena Agyei Agyepong (former NPP General Secretary)
The Berekum West MP’s remarks came as the field campaigns for party delegates ahead of the vote. The statement also highlights the high-stakes framing of the 2028 race and signals the NDC’s confidence after 2024. It also highlights how intra-party dynamics policy direction, grassroots mobilisation and post-primary unity could shape the NPP’s national prospects once a flagbearer emerges.
