Minister for Food and Agriculture and MP for Abetifi, Bryan Acheampong, has reiterated his controversial stance that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will not hand over power to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Bryan Acheampong first made this declaration during a unity walk on March 30, 2024, as part of the Kwahu Easter Festival celebrations, sparking widespread public criticism.

At the event in Mpraeso, he vowed that the NPP would retain power beyond the 2024 elections.

Addressing a large crowd of party faithful during the NPP’s “Final Walk” in Abetifi on Saturday, November 23, Bryan Acheampong doubled down on his earlier remarks.

He also assured supporters that the NPP would reclaim all parliamentary seats lost to the NDC in the 2020 elections.

“Anytime I vote, I do that to encourage the party and the party is on its feet now. As I stated in Mpraeso, I am saying again that we will win, we won’t give the power to them [NDC], not today, nor tomorrow.

“We will win the elections so as you are leaving here, be encouraged and brave to work for the party, and have hope that you have a party that will support you if it comes to power.”
