Ahead of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Presidential Primaries, various stakeholders, including party leaders, bigwigs, and youth groups, are strategically aligning themselves with candidates rumored to be in the flagbearer race.

In a recent development, Dr. Palgrave Boakye Danquah, former government spokesperson on governance and security, has publicly endorsed Hon. Ken Ohene Agyapong as the NPP’s next flagbearer. His endorsement, shared through his social media handles, has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, given his previous role as a prominent communicator for both the former administration and the party.

Dr. Boakye Danquah, a lecturer at the University of Professional Studies Accra (UPSA) and a respected Royal of the Akyem Abuakwa State, wields significant influence. His endorsement is expected to resonate particularly with young professionals, potentially galvanizing support for the #Ken2028 movement.

The public endorsements by Dr. Boakye Danquah and Kwasi Kwarteng, former spokesperson for the Ministry of Education, strengthen the growing perception that Hon. Ken Ohene Agyapong is gaining traction among the younger demographic of the NPP. His affable and approachable nature seems to be key in making him a more appealing choice for this group.
