Vote a flagbearer who prioritizes Ashanti to restore dominance – NPP delegates told

A group calling itself Concerned Asante Youth wants delegates of the NPP presidential primary to vote for an individual with the interest of the Ashanti Region at heart.

According to them, such candidates should have a plan to develop the region, which has shown massive support to the NPP over the years.

President of the group, Ebenezer Nyamekye, indicates that a native of the region is the best fit for the criteria set by the group.

“We know what Ashanti does for the NPP and the need for the region to be prioritized. An individual from the region will be keen on developing the Region,” he said.

He added, “Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum and Kwabena Agyapong are from the region, let’s look at their competence and vote for the better candidate to restore the NPP in the Region.”

The NPP’s electoral fortunes in the Ashanti region diminished from 1.8 million in 2020 to 1.3 million 2024, as the party lost the general election.

To many, this was a major factor for the NPPs massive defeat in the election.

The group, therefore, wants their suggestion considered in ensuring the party returns to power.

Ashanti Region has become relevant in the upcoming NPP presidential primary since it has a chunk of the constituencies in the country.

For this reason, aspirants of the election continue to visit the Region canvassing for votes.

Presently, the 2024 Flagbearer of NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is in the Region wrapping up campaign for the election.

Already Dr. Bryan Acheampong has visited most constituencies, receiving assurances of victory.

In December 2025, Ken Agyapong spent days in the Region engaging delegates in the upcoming election.

Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum has focused his campaign in the Region, as Kwabena Agyapong continues to traverse the Region.
