????️ NPP Presidential Primaries: Yaw Adutwum Declares Intention to Contest

???? Bold Break with Party Establishment

Known as a staunch ally of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Adutwum’s declaration signals a notable shift in NPP’s internal power dynamics. In a Facebook post tagged #TheAdutwumFactor, he positioned himself as the party’s “surest bet for victory in 2028,” stressing the impact of his performance over empty rhetoric 

“In the silence of the noise, one man’s record speaks louder than mere campaign chants…” 

???? Technocratic Track Record & Vision

Adutwum earned a reputation for technocratic leadership, notably expanding STEM education and driving Free SHS reforms during his tenure. His credentials include founding charter schools in the U.S. and serving as Deputy and Minister of Education .

Building on these achievements, he is now promoting institutional reform within the party—like expanding the electoral college to grant voting rights to all card-carrying members, not just delegates—a move he says will strengthen internal democracy 

???? Early Entrant Gains Momentum

Though nominations for the 2028 primaries have yet to open, Adutwum's early announcement gives him a head start, enabling early networking and support mobilization. Several polls put him well behind leading candidates like Bawumia and Kennedy Agyapong—around 12.5% support in April—but his growing recognition as a reform-minded technocrat marks him as a strong contender 

???? Implications for the Contest

Adutwum’s candidacy adds depth to the contest, appealing to both grassroots members and technocratic voters seeking fresh ideas. With Bawumia and Agyapong also vying, the NPP’s internal race sets well for a compelling showdown in 2028.

???? What’s Next

• Official Nomination Phase: Awaited to begin between 2026–27.

• Platform Development: Watch for detailed policy rollout from Adutwum.

• Alliances & Strategy: Coalition-building within the party hierarchy will be critical.
