The Member of Parliament for Abetifi, Dr Bryan Acheampong, has expressed confidence that ongoing restructuring efforts within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will address recent tensions and position the party for a stronger showing in the 2028 general elections.
His comments come amid public exchanges within the party, including recent remarks by former Assin Central MP Kennedy Ohene Agyapong that have sparked debate among party faithful.
Speaking on Eyewitness News on Friday, June 19, Dr Acheampong said the current disagreements should be viewed as part of an internal reorganisation process rather than evidence of deep divisions within the party.
“I am convinced that in a few months, all these are going to be over. I believe that this restructuring that we are undergoing will create a structure of real discipline in the party so that we know how to manage this type of fallout properly.
“There is no issue at all. Kennedy is at peace, and there is peace in the party. I can tell you that when the restructuring is done, the party will be stronger to prosecute the 2028 election,” he said.
He urged party members to remain focused on strengthening the party’s structures instead of engaging in public disputes, insisting that reconciliation and healing would naturally follow the restructuring process.
“Let us focus on the restructuring because that is what will get us power in 2028. When we are done, we will heal, we will reconcile, and by November when everything is said and done, we will go into the elections,” he added.
Dr Acheampong also dismissed suggestions of growing factionalism within the NPP, maintaining that the party remains united and capable of managing internal disagreements without jeopardising its preparations for the next election cycle.
His remarks follow recent comments by Kennedy Agyapong, who has rejected criticism from within the party over his public statements on governance and accountability.
The former Assin Central MP has come under scrutiny after criticising the NPP’s handling of the Afari Military Hospital project, arguing that the facility should have been completed and operationalised during the party’s eight years in government.
Kennedy Agyapong has described the delay in completing the project as a missed opportunity to improve healthcare delivery, particularly given the significant public investment made in the facility. He has also maintained that his comments are intended to promote accountability and national development rather than undermine the party.
