A powerful coalition of former Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) from the Upper West Region have officially endorsed Boakye Agyarko for the National Chairman position of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The high-profile endorsement marks a significant shift in the internal dynamics of the NPP as the opposition party reshapes its executive ranks ahead of the 2028 general elections. Meeting with delegates and local stakeholders in Wa, the former local governance leaders declared that Agyarko—a former Minister for Energy and highly regarded policy strategist—possesses the precise combination of institutional maturity, intellectual depth, and unifying leadership needed to steer the party out of its current rebuilding phase.
The former MMDCEs argued that the party’s previous electoral performance exposed structural gaps between the national executive apparatus and the grassroots, particularly across northern Ghana. They emphasized that Boakye Agyarko’s long-standing dedication to the party’s foundational traditions, combined with his proven administrative track record, makes him uniquely qualified to bridge internal factions and restore grassroots confidence.
The former executives highlighted that Agyarko has consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of structural party organization and macro-level management. They maintained that his vision focuses on empowering local party organs, standardizing transparent internal processes, and building a heavily decentralized campaign architecture. By backing his candidacy, the Upper West coalition has signaled to national delegates that a Boakye Agyarko chairmanship represents the most strategically viable path to restoring absolute internal discipline and creating an electoral engine capable of recapturing power in 2028.
