In every political tradition, moments arise when a groundswell of sentiment shakes the status quo and ushers in fresh possibilities. Within the New Patriotic Party (NPP), that moment appears to be here. The reintroduction of former executives into the delegates’ fold has done more than just widen the electoral base — it has awakened a constituency of wisdom, experience, and independent-mindedness that is now resonating with Kwabena Agyei Agyepong’s message of renewal.

For years, the party has suffered the creeping effects of alienation. Grassroots members have complained of neglect, while party elders have been reduced to mere ceremonial voices. Yet, in Kwabena Agyepong’s campaign, there is a message that cuts through the cynicism: a call for accountability, unity, and the restoration of the NPP’s true character. This message is not only resonating with the rank-and-file; it is stirring the very individuals who once steered the party machinery — the former executives.

These seasoned party actors, now empowered as delegates once more, are embracing Agyepong’s candidacy not out of nostalgia, but because they recognize in him the credible bridge between the party’s proud traditions and its future survival. Unlike others who thrive on transactional politics, Agyepong is appealing to their sense of dignity and purpose. He is giving voice to their frustrations, but also offering them a role in shaping what comes next.

The effect has been nothing short of a positive uprising. Quietly but unmistakably, a wave of former executives is mobilizing around him. They see in his candidacy a chance to reset the moral compass of the party, to give meaning again to the values of service, sacrifice, and inclusivity. In every region, conversations are shifting: “If we want change, here is the man to lead it.”

This is more than just support for one candidate. It is a movement within the NPP — a rebellion not of noise and violence, but of conscience and conviction. It is a collective insistence that the party cannot afford to mortgage its soul to money, coercion, and temporary promises. The inclusion of these former executives into the delegate pool has tilted the balance, giving the voice of experience a decisive role, and they are speaking with one accord: it is time for change.

History tells us that parties that ignore such uprisings do so at their peril. The NPP is at a crossroads, and the delegates — new and old — must choose whether to cling to the comfort of the familiar or embrace the urgency of renewal. Kwabena Agyei Agyepong’s message has made that choice clearer than ever.

The groundswell is real. The uprising has begun. And for the NPP, it could well be the beginning of a renaissance in leadership.

The new dawn!
