The Member of Parliament for Abetifi and New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential aspirant, Dr Bryan Acheampong, has vowed to restore discipline within the party if elected flagbearer.

Speaking on JoyNews, Dr Acheampong said the absence of consequences for misconduct has contributed to a breakdown of discipline within the NPP.

“People are now allowed to say whatever they want on any platform, and there are no consequences for those actions. This is breaking down discipline in our party,” he said.

He assured party members that under his leadership, public insults and unrestrained attacks would no longer be tolerated.

“I will restore discipline. I can assure you that those who go around insulting everyone, regardless of whom they support, will no longer find space in our party from 1 February, if I become the candidate on 31 January,” he stated.

The Abetifi MP stressed that discipline within the party must be enforced without delay.

“Leave the details to me, but I can assure you that if I am elected on 31 January, discipline will be restored in the NPP from 1 February. It cannot continue the way it has been,” he added.

He said his first step would be to unite the various factions within the party.

“First of all, we will bring all the factions together, lay down our tools, and begin conversations about building bridges and restoring discipline in our party. That process will start on 1 January 2026,” he said.

Dr Acheampong emphasised the need for firm and decisive leadership to rebuild trust within the party.

“If there is a leader they can trust—one who will not remain silent or merely nod in the face of wrongdoing—I will stand for something, take responsibility, and ensure that discipline runs through our party from top to bottom,” he added.
