Richard Ahiagbah officially declares bid for NPP National First Vice Chairman
Richard Ahiagbah, the National Communications Director of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), officially declared his intention to contest for the position of National First Vice Chairman on July 20, 2026. He pledged to lead efforts to restore discipline, unity, and stronger party structures ahead of the 2028 general elections. In a detailed "Declaration of Intent," Mr. Ahiagbah stated, "The 2024 election revealed that we need to reflect and move forward with renewed energy. A party stays strong not just because of its history, but by renewing its values, rebuilding its structures, and working together as a disciplined team."
Mr. Ahiagbah argued that the party's survival depends on returning to its founding ideals of liberty, the rule of law, and free market principles. He framed the party's internal reorganisation as urgent, warning that without discipline there can be no cohesion, and without cohesion there can be no unity. On September 19, 2026, he urged delegates to elect a National First Vice Chairman who can work with the National Chairman to rebuild party structures and reconnect with grassroots members. His leadership would focus on five key priorities, including renewing the party's liberal-conservative values and reconnecting with its ideals.
