Former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwabena Agyepong, has become the first aspirant to officially file his nomination forms for the party’s flagbearer contest ahead of the 2028 general election.

Dr Agyepong was swamped by supporters and well-wishers as he visited the party office in Accra to submit his application on Tuesday, August 26, 2025.

The NPP has set a clear window for flagbearer filings, which officially opened on July 29, 2025, and closes on August 28.

Also, the party leadership has scheduled January 31, 2026, for its presidential primaries to elect a flagbearer to lead the party into the 2028 elections.

Meanwhile, the NPP has announced the inclusion of new categories of party officials and dignitaries in the voter register for the upcoming Presidential Primary scheduled for Saturday, January 31, 2026.

In a circular issued by the Party’s Headquarters on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, and signed by Mr. William Yamoah, Secretary of the Presidential Elections Committee, the move is in accordance with Article 13(1)(11) of the NPP Constitution and a motion adopted at the National Annual Delegates Conference held on July 19, 2025.
