NAPO Breaks Silence on 2028 Presidential Claims
Former Energy Minister Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, widely known as NAPO, has firmly denied claims circulating about his intentions to contest for the presidency in Ghana’s 2028 general elections.
In a direct response to the rumors, Dr. Prempeh emphasized that he has made no such declaration and called on Ghanaians to ignore what he described as false and misleading information.
“I Have Not Declared Presidential Intentions”
In a brief but strong statement, NAPO stressed, “I have not made any such declaration, and I urge Ghanaians to disregard the falsehoods being circulated.”
He reaffirmed his commitment to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the broader goal of supporting party structures, especially following the outcome of the 2024 elections.
Political Circles React to Rumor Control

Political observers suggest that Dr. Prempeh’s increasing visibility and his past role as running mate to the NPP’s 2024 flagbearer may have contributed to the speculation. However, his outright denial is seen as a move to quell internal tension and shift attention toward party rebuilding.
Analysts believe the clarity is important in stabilizing the NPP’s direction post-election and keeping the party’s leadership focused on unity.
Conclusion: NAPO Dismisses Presidential Bid Rumors
With this firm denial, the former Energy minister set the record straight—he is not running for President in 2028. As internal conversations continue within the NPP, his message serves to clear the air and re-emphasize party focus over personal ambition.
