NPP’s 2028 Campaign Under Fire: Prof. Lawrence Lowell Questions Party’s Priorities

A renowned business and licensed ADR practitioner, Prof. Lawrence Lowell, has sparked controversy in the political arena with a scathing critique of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) timing in launching its flagbearer race for the 2028 elections.

According to Prof. Lowell, if the NPP truly cared about Ghana’s development, it would prioritize assisting the current government in addressing the country’s challenges rather than rushing into campaign mode just after losing the 2024 elections.

The NPP is currently gearing up for its flagbearer elections, scheduled for January 31, 2026, with prominent figures such as Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Kennedy Agyapong, Dr. Bryan Acheampong, and Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum vying for the party’s leadership.

However, Prof. Lowell’s comments have raised questions about the party’s priorities and its commitment to Ghana’s development.

Prof. Lowell’s remarks come against the backdrop of the NPP’s efforts to rejuvenate its base and reconnect with Ghanaians after a disappointing performance in the 2024 elections.

The party’s flagbearer hopefuls have been crisscrossing the country, engaging with delegates and stakeholders in a bid to win their support.

As the NPP navigates its internal dynamics and prepares for the 2028 elections, Prof. Lowell’s comments serve as a reminder of the need for the party to reflect on its priorities and strategy for reclaiming power.

With Ghana’s economic and social challenges persisting, the NPP’s approach to the 2028 elections will be closely watched by Ghanaians and stakeholders alike.
