Atwima Nwabiagya North is home. It is the land my father, H.E. John Agyekum Kufuor, served as Member of Parliament before leading Ghana. I return not to trade on a name, but to earn your trust through service, strategy and practical solutions for our people.
Our farmers, traders and young people deserve better. I will champion motorable feeder roads to link our farming communities to markets, value addition for our cocoa and food crops, protection of the Barekese catchment that waters Kumasi, quality schools and health facilities, and jobs, skills and enterprise support that keep our youth working at home.
Party unity and inclusivity are my first commitment. I respect every fellow aspirant and will work with executives, past and present, polling station executives, electoral area coordinators and grassroots members to keep Atwima Nwabiagya North an unbreakable NPP stronghold.
At the national level, I will commit my resources, networks and experience to the NPP’s collective effort to recapture power in 2028 and also regain majority seats in Parliament, and to the presidential ambition of H.E. Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
To me, leadership means service, strategy and solutions. Above all, the needs of the people of Atwima Nwabiagya North come first, before personal ambition or family name.
I look forward to meeting party members, chiefs and every stakeholder as we write a new chapter for Atwima Nwabiagya North.
TOGETHER, LET US BUILD A UNITED, PROSPEROUS AND PROUD ATWIMA NWABIAGYA NORTH”.
Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced that members seeking to contest its parliamentary primaries ahead of the 2028 general elections will be required to pay GH¢5,000 to formally declare their interest.
According to the NPP, the payment will be part of a new application process being introduced by the party, with its online portal scheduled to open from November 1 to 10, 2026, for prospective parliamentary aspirants to submit their applications.
The party’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, disclosed this during a press briefing on Thursday, October 29, 2026, where he outlined the arrangements for selecting parliamentary candidates for the next general elections.
Under the NPP’s new procedure, interested party members must access the online portal, choose the constituency they intend to contest and complete the declaration of interest process by paying the required GH¢5,000 fee.
Justin Kodua Frimpong explained that the new arrangement forms part of efforts to prepare prospective candidates for the demands of parliamentary leadership.
According to him, the party intends to subject aspirants to rigorous training and capacity-building programmes to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge ahead of the 2028 elections.
He, however, disclosed that the declaration of interest process will serve as the first stage in the NPP’s preparations to select parliamentary candidates for the upcoming general elections.
