New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential hopeful, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, will submit his nomination forms for the party’s presidential primary on Wednesday, August 27, 2025.

Former Assin Central MP's filing is scheduled for 1 pm at the NPP headquarters in Accra.

This was confirmed by the spokesperson of Kennedy Agyapong's campaign team, Kwasi Kwarteng, on his X page on Monday, August 25, 2025.

''This is to officially inform the general public, members, and sympathisers of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that Hon. Ken Ohene Agyapong will be filing his nomination to contest for the flagbearership position of the party in the upcoming 2026 presidential primaries."

Mr. Agyapong was the first aspirant to pick up nomination forms for the January 31, 2026, primaries after a group of NPP MPs, including Kwaku Kwarteng (Obuasi West), Charles Forson (Tema West), Stephen Amoah (Nhyiaeso), and Lawrence Agyinsam (Hemang Lower Denkyira), collected them on his behalf on August 5.

He enters the race as one of the frontrunners, having placed second behind Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the party’s 2024 flagbearer contest.
