National Chairman hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Awentami Paul Afoko, has expressed optimism that the party will form the next government, with him at the helm of affairs. He made this statement while speaking to delegates in the Western, Central, and Eastern Regions as part of his ongoing campaign tour. Afoko's message to delegates has centred heavily on his 3Rs Campaign Blueprint, which he says offers the clearest path back to government.
Afoko underscored the significance of party unity as the bedrock of victory in the 2028 general election. He said the “elephant family” will need only two years in opposition before power returns to the NPP. He stressed that he would work to ensure this projection does not become a mirage. Afoko told constituency executives that if they close their ranks and rally behind him to become the National Chairman, they have only two years to stay in opposition.
The former National Chairman explained that the party cannot afford to dwell on past internal divisions. He said his first priority as Chairman would be to reunite all factions of the NPP under one banner ahead of 2028. Afoko's message to every constituency and region is to set aside their differences, reunite as one family, and rebuild the structures that have made them formidable in the past.
Afoko pledged to strengthen grassroots structures, revamp constituency and polling station organisation, and restore confidence among party foot soldiers who he said felt neglected in recent years. He argued that a solidly rebuilt party machinery, combined with unity at the top, would naturally translate into recapturing power in 2028.
The former Chairman's tour has taken him across several regions, consistently drawing large crowds of constituency executives and TESCON members eager to hear his vision for the party's future. With the election for National Chairman scheduled for 3rd October, Afoko is intensifying his engagements. He is banking on his unity and 3Rs message to win over delegates in the weeks leading up to the vote at the Babayara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.
Afoko's 3Rs Campaign Blueprint, which stands for Reunite, Rebuild, and Recapture Power, has been well-received by delegates. He believes that with this blueprint, the NPP can regain power in 2028. Afoko's campaign tour is aimed at winning over delegates and securing the National Chairman position.
The NPP National Chairman election is set to take place on October 3rd. Afoko is one of the hopefuls vying for the position. His campaign has gained significant attention, with many NPP members and delegates showing interest in his vision for the party's future.
