Dr Frank Yirenkyi, the 2024 New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate for the Biakoye Constituency, has officially declared his intention to contest for the Oti Regional Chairmanship position of the New Patriotic Party.
According to Dr Yirenkyi, his decision was motivated by a strong desire to reposition the party in the Oti Region and improve its electoral fortunes ahead of the 2028 general election.
He emphasised the need for experienced, committed, and visionary leadership to consolidate the party’s base and attract more supporters across the region.
Speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Kadjebi, Dr Yirenkyi noted that the NPP required individuals with grassroots appeal and strategic insight to enhance its competitiveness.
“The party needs a person in my calibre to help mobilise and woo more votes for victory in 2028,” he stated.
Dr Yirenkyi, a medical practitioner and Urologist by profession, highlighted his track record of service, dedication, and connection with the grassroots as key attributes that position him well for the role.
He pledged to work closely with constituency executives, polling station officers, and party faithful to strengthen internal unity and organisational structures.
On national politics, Dr Yirenkyi expressed confidence in the leadership of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP’s 2028 Presidential Candidate and described him as a competent and visionary leader with the requisite qualities to lead Ghana.
He called on Ghanaians to rally behind Dr Bawumia, stressing that his leadership would bring progress and transformation to the country.
Dr Yirenkyi appealed to delegates and party members in the Oti Region to support his bid, assuring them of inclusive leadership, transparency, and renewed energy to drive the party forward.
He reiterated his commitment to strengthening party structures at all levels, fostering unity among members, and ensuring that the NPP remains a formidable political force in the region.
The Oti Regional Chairmanship contest is expected to be keen, as party members look to elect leaders capable of steering the affairs of the party and improving its performance in future elections.
