Dr Bryan Acheampong, a New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer aspirant, has revealed he personally financed the NPP’s campaign in the Eastern Region during the 2024 election season.
According to Bryan Acheampong, he funded the party’s campaign activities by giving each NPP polling station executive in November, numbering about 26,000, GHS 2 million each.
Dr Bryan Acheampong further revealed that he also financed 33 parliamentary candidates in the Eastern region with GH¢100,000 every month from May to October.
In a viral video sighted Dr Bryan Acheampong stated, “In 2020, we were in government, so nobody needed my money. But in 2024, the regional chairman and the regional secretary are here, in the Eastern Region, except for about six MPs who were financially independent. I gave each of the remaining parliamentary candidates GH¢100,000”.
“It was from May to October — May, June, July, August, September, October. In November, my regional chairman and regional secretary can bear witness, we have 26,000 polling station executives in the Eastern Region, and I gave each of them GH¢2,000,000 in November to work with at their polling stations,” he added.
Also, Dr Bryan Acheampong has already officially announced his intention to contest the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer position.
According to Bryan Acheampong, he will contest when the NPP officially opens nominations.
Bryan Acheampong made the announcement after the leadership of the Presbyterian Church offered prayers for him.
In the viral video, Bryan Acheampong was on his knees surrounded by some clergy members as they offered prayers for him.
Shortly after the prayers, he officially declared his intention.
He revealed that his decision is influenced by an exploratory team he set up, which spent a month assessing the sentiments of NPP delegates.
Speaking to the media, on Tuesday, June 24, Dr. Acheampong stated, “…A decision has been made that I will contest when the party opens nominations, but to do that, as a product of the church, it will be a disappointment per my tradition, if the moderator of the church hears it for the first time on the radio.
“So, before the formal announcement is made, I thought it wise to inform the general council and the moderator of the presby church. Most importantly, I am here to also seek the blessings of God.”
In addition to Bryan Acheampong, some months ago detailed that his years of dedication and experience to the party have prepared him to lead the party into a new era.
Dr Acheampong recounted his journey within the NPP, from grassroots mobilisation to serving as a Member of Parliament and Cabinet Minister.
Speaking at the NPP’s Constituency Chairmen Caucus Conference on Saturday, June 21 stated, “I’m not here to test the waters. I’m here for power”.
His declaration drew loud applause from the auditorium.
“I have walked the path, I have served, and I have built. I am ready to take this party to victory in 2028,” he added.
Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is gearing up for its presidential primaries on January 31, 2026.
The former Minister for Agriculture, Bryan Acheampong, will have to tussle with Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Kennedy Agyapong, former Minister for Education Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, and Kwabena Agyei Agyepong to stand a chance of contesting in the 2028 elections on the ticket of the NPP.
The primary will mark a pivotal moment for the NPP as it seeks to elect a flagbearer capable of steering the party into the 2028 general elections, building upon its legacy.
