A former presenter of Joy News, Samuel Kojo Brace, has announced his intention to contest the National Patriotic Party (NPP) primaries in Ahanta West. The move comes as the party prepares for its internal selection process ahead of the 2028 elections.

Brace, who previously worked with Joy News, has garnered support from local members ahead of the contest. His decision to run reflects growing interest in internal party dynamics ahead of the upcoming elections. The NPP primaries are a key step in the party’s strategy to determine its candidate for the 2028 general elections.

The NPP has been a dominant political force in Ghana for several decades. Internal contests within the party often serve as a testing ground for future leaders. Brace’s candidacy adds to the competition in Ahanta West, a region with a history of political engagement. His participation highlights the increasing number of voices vying for influence within the party structure.
