Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh has said he does not intend to contest the New Patriotic Party (NPP)'s flagbearership for the 2028 elections.

He was reacting to a media question in relation to speculation that he was nursing a presidential ambition and intends to contest the next flag bearer race of the NPP.

Speaking to journalists on Wednesday [April 16, 2025], Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh said his priority was focused on how to help build a united party ahead of the 2028 elections.
