Napo Rules Out 2028 Presidential Bid, Hints Support For Bawumia

Dr. Opoku Prempeh, who previously served as Minister for Education and later as Energy Minister under the Akufo-Addo administration, said his focus is not on personal ambition but on ensuring unity and cohesion within the NPP as it navigates its path in opposition.

“What matters now is the unity of the party. That is my commitment and what I’m working towards,” he told reporters.

The NEC meeting is expected to tackle post-election reforms, assess the reasons behind the party’s electoral defeat, and set a strategic direction ahead of the 2028 election cycle. The gathering is also being closely watched for early signs of potential contenders for the NPP’s future leadership.

Dr. Opoku Prempeh’s decision not to contest may come as a surprise to some within the party, given his visibility during the 2024 campaign and his longstanding service within the NPP. However, his announcement may also serve to cool internal tensions and signal a focus on rebuilding and restructuring.
