In a statement, Agyepong called on party supporters and well-wishers to join him in what he described as a step toward “principled leadership and a NEW DAWN for Ghana,” emphasizing service, selflessness, and sacrifice.
His filing sets the stage for a tightly contested week, with other leading aspirants also preparing to formalize their bids. Kennedy Agyapong, former legislator, is slated to submit his forms the following day, Wednesday, August 27, at 1 pm, accompanied by his wife and campaign team.
Meanwhile, the NPP’s 2024 presidential candidate and former Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, will round out the nominations on Thursday, August 28, at 8 am, joined by his wife, senior campaign members, and several parliamentary supporters.
