NPP flagbearer candidate Kwabena Agyepong has urged his fellow presidential hopefuls to engage in a nationally televised debate, saying Ghanaians deserve to make informed choices based on candidates’ policies, priorities, character, and track record.

Speaking in an exclusive interview on the AM Show, Agyepong said, “And that’s why I have even challenged my other four colleagues that we should have a nationally public-sized debate. Ghanaians and our party people deserve to make an informed choice. That informed choice will be based on our policy differences, our priorities, our character, and our record. That should be scrutinised.”

He emphasised that leadership should go beyond popularity contests, highlighting the need for transformative ideas and a demonstrated willingness to deliver results.

“We need somebody who’s got transformative ideas, somebody who has shown that he’s prepared to work for results,” he added.

Agyepong’s call comes amid growing competition within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as candidates campaign ahead of the party’s presidential primaries set to take place in January 2026.

He stressed that public scrutiny of candidates’ visions and character is essential for selecting the best leader to guide Ghana in the coming years.
