His announcement comes just a day after the NPP’s National Executive Committee confirmed that the party’s presidential primaries will be held on Saturday, January 31, 2026.
Dr Adutwum now joins a growing list of NPP heavyweights expected to contest the flagbearer slot, including 2024 presidential candidate Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, outspoken former Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong, and former Minister for Agriculture Bryan Acheampong.
