Former Member of Parliament for Tema West and former Administrator of the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF), Irene Naa Torshie Addo, has explained that changing circumstances influenced her decision to switch support in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearership race.
Naa Torshie Addo, who had previously backed former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia during the party’s last presidential primary, has in the 2026 contest declared her support for Kennedy Ohene Agyapong.
Speaking to the media after casting her vote, the former MP said political choices are not fixed and are often shaped by the prevailing context.
“Each election presents a different scenario. Election 2024 is not the same as Election 2028, so you don’t have to vote for the same person. Circumstances change, personalities evolve, and the performance of the party in power guides you on which candidate is best suited to lead us in 2028. I took all of that into consideration and chose Ken,” she said.
She added that her decision was guided by what she believes is in the best interest of the NPP as it rebuilds toward the 2028 general election.
