A three-time Member of Parliament, Kofi Okyere Agyekum, has officially thrown his hat into the ring for the position of Eastern Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), positioning himself as a seasoned leader ready to strengthen the party’s grassroots and electoral fortunes.
Campaigning on the message “Time Tested, Truly Trusted,” Mr. Agyekum is leveraging his extensive political experience and track record in public service to appeal to party delegates across the region.
Having served three terms as a Member of Parliament for Fanteakwa South, Mr. Agyekum brings to the contest a wealth of legislative experience, constituency engagement, and deep understanding of party structures, qualities he believes are critical in steering the NPP to greater success in the Eastern Region.
He has emphasized the need for unity, discipline, and strategic grassroots mobilisation to consolidate the party’s dominance in the region, indicating that, sime the Eastern Region remains the stronghold of the NPP, it requires tested leadership, trust, and commitment to sustain and grow that legacy.
Mr. Agyekum’s campaign has so far focused on reconnecting with polling station executives, constituency officers, and regional stakeholders, promising an inclusive leadership style that prioritizes collaboration and results.
Political observers say his parliamentary background could give him a significant edge in the race, as it reflects both electoral success and the confidence reposed in him by constituents over the years.
His bid comes at a time when the party is seeking to reorganize and strengthen its internal structures ahead of future electoral contests, making the role of Regional Chairman increasingly strategic.
Supporters of Mr. Agyekum describe him as a unifier with a proven record, capable of bridging gaps within the party and driving a forward-looking agenda.
As the contest heats up, his message of experience, loyalty, and trust is expected to resonate strongly with delegates who are keen on electing leadership that can deliver both internally and at the polls.
