Meanwhile, his candidacy has garnered support from prominent party members, including former NPP member, Hopeson Adorye, former MP for Asante Akim North; Andy Kwame Appiah-Kubi, MP for Mpraeso, Davis Ansah Opoku and among others.
These figures have publicly expressed their willingness to campaign for Bryan Acheampong in his bid to secure the flagbearer position.
