Dr Stephen Amoah is the Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso
Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso, Dr Stephen Amoah, has reaffirmed his unwavering loyalty to the New Patriotic Party (NPP), insisting that his commitment to the party remains intact despite his camp’s loss in the recent presidential primaries.
Speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show on Monday, February 2, 2026, Dr Amoah emphatically stated that he remains resolute in supporting activities of the NPP to wrestle power from their political opponent, the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
“I’ve been a politician. I’ve been an ardent supporter of this fraternity. Whatever happens, I will never stop supporting the NPP,” he said.
Although the outcome of the primaries did not favour his team, Dr Amoah said it would not affect his readiness to work for the party and its flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
“With [regards] to the results… my team did not win, [but] I’m ready to work for my party, for Dr Bawumia and his team,” he stated.
He, however, noted that meaningful contribution to a campaign goes beyond loyalty alone.
Using a performance framework, Dr Amoah explained that success depends on ability, opportunity, and motivation.
“When it comes to ability, I don’t think anybody in this country can say I don’t have the ability to be an important person in any campaign but the only way performance can be appraised to our expectation is to have the opportunity,” he said.
Still, he stressed that even without a formal role, his allegiance would not waver.
“Even if there’s no opportunity, the fraternity, the NPP, is my party,” he said.
Reflecting on the sacrifices made by party members over the years, Dr Amoah recalled struggles dating back to earlier political eras.
“We all worked so hard. Some of us, our great-grandfathers even suffered to the point of being imprisoned from the days of Baffour Akoto up to now. We also fought hard, especially in the year 2000 up to now,” he added.
“There’s no way I’ll put up any sluggish or lackadaisical attitude because my team did not win,” he stated.
However, he cautioned that motivation could suffer without inclusion.
“Without opportunity, you cannot even maximise your performance,” Dr Amoah said, calling on party leaders to respect and make room for all members.
“I’m calling all relevant stakeholders to accord the team and the party the respect that we all need, so that people will be motivated to work hard and bring victory to the party, and wrestle power from the NDC,” he stated.
“…I think that [at] all times, the NPP is better than the NDC,” he added.
Dr Amoah aligned with Kennedy Agyapong’s camp during the primaries, which were won by former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia with 56.48 per cent of the votes, while Kennedy Agyapong secured 23.76 per cent
