Edward Agyekum Kufuor Seeks NPP Seat in Atwima Nwabiagya North

Edward Agyekum Kufuor, son of former President John Agyekum Kufuor, declared his candidacy for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primary for the Atwima Nwabiagya North Constituency on November 10, 2026. Kufuor is seeking the seat his father held from 1979 to 1981 as part of a bid for the 2028 general elections.

His platform focuses on agricultural infrastructure, specifically the construction of motorable feeder roads and the promotion of value addition for food crops and cocoa. Kufuor also pledged to protect the Barekese water catchment, which supplies water to Kumasi, and to enhance local healthcare and education. As a businessman and co-founder of the entrepreneurship organization Ntetsia, he emphasized job creation for youth.

Kufuor stated that his campaign relies on strategic leadership and practical solutions rather than his family name. He expressed his support for the presidential ambitions of former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, aiming to keep the constituency an NPP stronghold to help the party recapture political power and a parliamentary majority in 2028.
