NPP Chairmanship race: Boakye Agyarko taps Joe Wise, Henry Quartet to lead campaign

National Chairman aspirant Boakye Kyeremanten Agyarko has unveiled a seasoned leadership team for his campaign, appointing Greater Accra Regional Minister Henry Quartey as Campaign Manager and former First Deputy Speaker Joseph Osei-Owusu (Joe Wise) as Senior Campaign Advisor.

The announcement was made during a high-energy meeting with volunteers, where Mr. Agyarko declared that his bid is centered on forging a formidable party machine to secure victory for the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) 2028 flagbearer, Mahamudu Bawumia.

“This campaign is about building a party that wins,” Mr. Agyarko told supporters, stressing a focus on strengthening grassroots structures to ensure unity and electoral success.

In a statement signed by campaign spokesperson Vincent Frimpong Manu, the team said the appointments underscore Mr. Agyarko’s commitment to a grassroots-centred strategy.

“Their vast experience at the highest levels of governance, combined with their strong grassroots appeal, positions the campaign to effectively connect with party members across the country,” the statement read.

Explaining his choices, Mr. Agyarko described Mr. Quartey and Mr. Osei-Owusu as “men of proven competence and commitment,” whose track records in governance, party organisation, and mobilisation give the campaign a strong foundation.

Mr. Quartey pledged an inclusive approach, stating, “We are ready to engage every level of the party.” Mr. Osei-Owusu added, “We fully share his vision to rebuild, restructure and rebrand the party for victory.”

While the top leadership is now in place, the campaign indicated that a full national team—including experts in strategy, research, communications, and operations—will be officially inaugurated in the coming weeks as efforts intensify to rally support nationwide.
