New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential hopeful Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum has unveiled ambitious plans to transform the Ahafo Region into a hub for tourism, smart cities, and industrial growth if elected president. Speaking in Duayaw Nkwanta in the Tano North Constituency, the NPP flagbearer aspirant described his vision as a blueprint for regional transformation and national progress.
“I want to see a transformed Ahafo where tourism thrives, where we have smart cities. I want to see Ahafo rival other nations across the world. I want big things happening here,” Dr. Adutwum told delegates during the first day of his Hope Tour, ahead of the NPP’s 31 January 2026 presidential primaries.
Dr. Adutwum, currently the Member of Parliament for Bosomtwe, also criticized mining companies operating in Ahafo for failing to employ locals, emphasizing the urgent need to expand technical and engineering education in the region.
“It is worrying that mining firms here don’t even employ your natives. I even doubt we can produce engineers for them upon their request. I have done that in my constituency and we will change that in Ahafo,” he said.
The Hope Tour forms part of Dr. Adutwum’s nationwide engagement with party delegates as he seeks to lead the NPP into the 2028 general election.
Meanwhile, the Ahafo Regional Chairman of the NPP, Kwabena Owusu Sekyere, urged aspirants to prioritize development-focused campaigns over personal attacks.
“This is the time to stay united as a political party and choose a candidate who will reclaim power in 2028. Current happenings within the party could weaponize the NDC to campaign against us and if that happens we risk staying in opposition until 2036. I urge the candidates to emulate Dr Yaw Adutwum who has shown maturity in all his campaigns,” he said.
Dr. Adutwum’s message underscores a campaign strategy centred on industrialization, local empowerment, and infrastructural development, positioning the Ahafo Region as a potential showcase of his presidency’s impact.
