The Asante Concerned Youth in the Ashanti Region have urged Asantes across the country to support New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer aspirants Kwabena Agyapong and Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum ahead of the party’s presidential primaries scheduled for January 31, 2026.
According to the group, the Ashanti Region has shown unwavering loyalty to the NPP over the years, and it is only fair that the party gives strong consideration to candidates from the region in its leadership selection.
Speaking at a press briefing in Kumasi on Tuesday, January 20, the President of the group, Nyamekye Ebenezer, highlighted the achievements under former President John Agyekum Kufuor’s administration as evidence of the capacity of Asante leaders to deliver impactful governance.
“The Ashanti Region has consistently contributed to national development and party success. We believe that supporting a flagbearer from our region will not only strengthen the NPP’s base but also energise grassroots supporters ahead of the 2026 general elections,” he said.
He added, “We are here to declare our support for the two candidates from this region and call on all delegates to support our own. Considering the development that former President Kufuor brought to the country, we are confident that a candidate from the Ashanti Region will serve the nation well and further drive development in our region.”
