Dr Bryan Acheampong’s attempt to position himself as a major force within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) gained notable attention, driven by structured messaging, regional mobilisation, and visible confidence; however, political observers argue that the overall strategy became increasingly predictable, limiting its impact within the competitive internal contest.

Despite assembling a disciplined campaign team and pushing a message of stability and experience, critics say Acheampong’s approach lacked the tactical surprise needed to unsettle rival camps, especially in a race already shaped by familiar power blocs and established party figures.
Comparisons have been drawn with earlier internal contests involving figures such as Alan Kyeremanteng and Kennedy Agyapong, where unconventional messaging and emotional appeal played decisive roles in energising delegates and grassroots supporters Alan Kyeremanteng, Ken Agyapong and the Adisadel Spirit.
Analysts maintain that while Acheampong demonstrated organisational strength and financial readiness, future political ambitions will require sharper narrative shifts, adaptive engagement, and a less predictable playbook to resonate beyond core loyalists.
