Former Energy Minister Boakye Kyeremateng Agyarko has declared his intention to contest for the position of National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the party’s upcoming internal elections.

In a statement on Tuesday, September 30, Mr. Agyarko explained that his decision followed extensive consultations with his family, close associates, and wide engagement with party members across the country.

According to him, his candidacy is a “bounden duty” and will formally announce his contest for the National Chairman position once nominations open.

“I have had consultations with members of my family and those who are very close to me, and whose lives would be most affected by the decisions I make. I have also listened carefully to what the broad masses of our party people, and indeed many outside our party, are asking of me.

Having factored in all the considerations, I see it as my bounden duty to respond to this call to duty, and hereby announce that I will contest for the position of NATIONAL CHAIRMAN of my party upon the opening of nominations,” the statement read.
