Unity Before Victory:Dr. Charles Dwamena Storms NPP Scene, Eyes General Secretary Position
Dr. Charles Dwamena, widely known within political circles as Dr. China, has officially declared his intention to contest for the highly influential position of General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), signaling the beginning of what is expected to be a keenly contested internal race.
The respected party figure made the announcement in an encounter or engagement with some Media practitioners here in Kumasi ,on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, just three days ahead of the NPP’s crucial Presidential Primaries,a period he described as pivotal to the party’s future.
Speaking passionately, Dr. Dwamena urged delegates and party faithful to place unity above personal ambition, stressing that decisions taken during the primaries must be guided by a singular objective: building a united front capable of winning back power in the 2028 general elections.
According to him, the NPP’s next presidential candidate must not only possess competence and vision but, more importantly, demonstrate the ability to unify all factions of the party, heal internal divisions, and restore confidence among the grassroots and the broader Ghanaian electorate.
“Discipline, cohesion, and collective responsibility are non-negotiable if the NPP wants to remain a strong national force,” Dr. Dwamena emphasized.
He further highlighted the strategic importance of the General Secretary’s office, describing it as the engine room of the party. He noted that effective coordination, strict adherence to party structures, and robust grassroots mobilisation are critical to electoral success.
Dr. Dwamena explained that his decision to contest the General Secretary position is driven by a deep commitment to reorganizing, energising, and strengthening the party, from polling stations to the national level, to ensure the NPP emerges more formidable ahead of future elections.
His announcement has since sparked renewed debate and excitement within the party, injecting fresh momentum into internal discussions as the NPP enters a defining phase of reorganisation and strategic planning.
Political observers believe Dr. Dwamena’s entry into the race could significantly reshape the dynamics of the contest, especially as calls for unity, discipline, and structural coherence continue to dominate conversations within the party.
