Former Minister for Education, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, has officially picked nomination forms to contest as flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) ahead of the 2028 elections.
Speaking to party supporters after the event, Dr Adutwum expressed confidence that the NPP would give him the nod to lead the party and eventually become Ghana’s leader.
“We are blessed, and by the grace of God, my party will vote for me and make me the flagbearer ,” he said.
He promised that under his leadership, Ghana would “wage war against poverty and win,” leading the country to what he described as the “promised land.”
Dr Adutwum said his campaign would focus on ending poverty and deprivation, while continuing the work of past presidents to build a prosperous nation.
He called on NPP members to give him the opportunity.
“Provide a bridge for me to cross to the other side. Once we get to the other side of the river, we are going to meet Ghanaians and let them know that our future is going to be better” he appealed.
The NPP is expected to hold its presidential primaries next year ahead of the 2028 general elections.

Abu Trica’s extradition case: Prophets, fetish priests demand pay for spiritual solution …Lawyer reveals
Mr Oliver Barker-Vormawor, a lawyer for embattled Frederick Kumi, affectionately called Abu Trica and has made a shocking revelation over the behaviour of some members of the clergy.
According to him in a post on social media, the difficult part of Abu Trica’s trial is not the law but the number of ‘Men of God’ and fetish priests demanding financial sacrifices to help resolve the matter spiritually.
Oliver Barker-Vormawor posted on Tuesday, April 22, 2026, “The most difficult part about the Abu Trica case; is not the law.”
He continued: “It is the number of, prophetesses, evangelists and fetish priests, who have called or messaged to ask us to pay for spiritual solutions.”
It would be recalled that in March this year, the Gbese District Court dismissed a preliminary objection filed by Abu Trica, challenging the extradition proceedings initiated at the request of the United States.
The court, presided over by Anna Akosua Appiah Gottfried Anaafi Gyasi, in its ruling held that the offences forming the basis of the extradition, particularly wire fraud, constitute extraditable offences under the 1931 treaty between Ghana and the United States.
He was then given 15 days counting from March 27 to appeal the decision of the court or be surrendered for extradition to the US.
Against this backdrop, he was on Tuesday, April 22, granted a bail in the sum of GH¢30,000,000 by an Accra High, pending the appeal of his extradition
Mr Kumi was arrested in Ghana in December 2025 following an indictment by United States authorities, alleging that he played a role in a romance scam network that defrauded elderly American victims of more than $8 million.
