Former Ayensuano MP Samuel Ayeh-Paye has predicted a resounding victory for former Agriculture Minister Bryan Acheampong in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearer primaries set for January 31, 2026.

Speaking on Channel One TV’s Breakfast Daily on Thursday, November 20, Ayeh-Paye said Acheampong’s growing momentum and strong grassroots support point to a “one-touch win.” He highlighted that the widespread backing reflects confidence in Acheampong’s ability to tackle unemployment and attract investment if chosen as the party’s 2028 presidential candidate.

“The struggle of the youth is not because they are lazy, but because the jobs are not there. If we can find someone who, even in their private capacity, can create jobs and attract other investors so that our young people can work, Ghanaians will vote for them. That is why I am working for Bryan Acheampong and want him to be the NPP’s candidate for the 2028 election," he said.

Ayeh-Paye added that consultations with delegates have been overwhelmingly positive, revealing a solid base of support.

“The grounds are solid. A lot of people have joined us, and the feedback we are receiving is very encouraging. Come January 31, 2026, it will be a one-touch win for Bryan Acheampong,” he said.

Meanwhile, former Vice President and NPP flagbearer aspirant Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has also appealed to delegates in Sene East to back his bid, citing his loyalty and years of service to the party as he seeks to lead the NPP into the 2028 elections.
