The presidential primaries of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are gaining fresh momentum as prominent party figures declare their preferred choices. In a bold and emphatic move, the Member of Parliament for Nsuta Kwamang Beposo, Hon. Adelaide Ntim, has openly endorsed Dr. Bryan Acheampong, Minister for Food and Agriculture, as her candidate of choice for the NPP flagbearership.
In an interview with the media, Hon. Ntim left no room for doubt about her loyalty and conviction, stating firmly:
“I am for Bryan Acheampong. He is a visionary, a unifier, and the leader our party and Ghana need at this crucial time.”
The endorsement, which was greeted with cheers and applause, has been described by political observers as a significant boost for Dr. Acheampong’s campaign, particularly given the strategic importance of the Ashanti Region in NPP politics.
Hon. Ntim praised Dr. Acheampong’s outstanding record of service both in government and within the party. She highlighted his leadership at the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, where he has rolled out initiatives to ensure food security, improve agricultural productivity, and support farmers across the country. She further stressed his dedication to grassroots development, his deep understanding of national security issues, and his commitment to strengthening the economy.
“Dr. Bryan Acheampong has what it takes to lead us to victory in 2024. He is decisive, competent, and relatable. He understands the needs of ordinary Ghanaians, and he has proven that he can deliver,” she added.
Party insiders say Hon. Ntim’s backing could help galvanize more support for Dr. Acheampong among delegates in the Ashanti Region, widely considered the party’s electoral heartbeat. Endorsements from sitting Members of Parliament are seen as crucial in shaping delegate choices in the upcoming primaries.
Dr. Acheampong, who has consistently positioned himself as a forward-looking and pragmatic leader, has promised to unify the NPP, consolidate its achievements, and provide transformational leadership for Ghana if elected flagbearer.
With Hon. Adelaide Ntim’s ringing declaration of support, the Nsuta Kwamang Beposo constituency is expected to become a stronghold of mobilization for his campaign.
As the NPP presidential race intensifies, one thing is now clear: Hon. Adelaide Ntim has chosen her side, and her message is simple yet powerful — “I am for Bryan Acheampong.”
