Former Finance Minister and Member of Parliament for Karaga, Mohammed Amin Adam, has endorsed Paul Afoko for the position of National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), describing him as the right person to reposition the party ahead of future elections.
Dr. Amin Adam announced his endorsement during a courtesy call by some NPP leaders and aspirants at his private residence, saying his decision was based on Mr. Afoko’s competence and ability to lead the party back to power.
“I support Paul Afoko for National Chairman,” Dr. Amin Adam declared.
He said the NPP, now in opposition, requires experienced leadership capable of rebuilding its structures and preparing the party for the next general election.
“We know the serious people who can bring us back to power. We do not follow the masses to choose someone to support; we support those we believe have the potential to win and lead the party,” he said.
Dr. Amin Adam stressed that his endorsement of Mr. Afoko does not diminish his support for the NPP’s 2024 presidential candidate, Mahamudu Bawumia.
He noted that Mr. Afoko’s leadership experience and fundraising ability make him well-positioned to help the party recover from its electoral defeat.
“I have worked with Paul Afoko, and I know he is competent. He can also help raise funds for the party because we need money as a party in opposition,” he added.
Mr. Afoko has been touring the country promoting what he describes as his “3Rs Agenda”—reuniting, rebuilding and returning the NPP to power.
His campaign has focused on healing divisions that emerged after the party’s 2024 electoral defeat and subsequent internal leadership disagreements, while encouraging former members and inactive supporters to return to the party.
The former NPP National Chairman has also pledged to strengthen the role of polling station executives, constituency executives and grassroots members by improving their welfare, enhancing logistical support and increasing their participation in party decision-making.
According to Mr. Afoko, empowering the party’s grassroots will be central to rebuilding the NPP and restoring it to government.
