Education will be the cornerstone of my leadership-Dr.Adutwum declares
Former Education Minister, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, has reaffirmed his commitment to making education the central pillar of his leadership should he emerge as the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and subsequently President of Ghana in 2028.
Speaking to party members during his campaign launch at Adansi Asokwa in the Ashanti Region, Dr Adutwum underscored the transformative power of education in shaping Ghana’s future.
“Education remains the most effective tool for transforming the country and positioning it for long-term growth and development,” he said.

He stressed the importance of investing in quality and accessible education, noting that such measures would empower young people while equipping the nation to compete more effectively on the global stage.
Dr Adutwum also highlighted accountability as a critical element of effective governance.
“Accountability is the key to achieving better performance in governance, and so leaders must remain vigilant and attentive. Without such oversight, those entrusted to support their vision may end up being the very source of disappointment,” he cautioned.
Two days after appearing before the NPP vetting committee, Dr Adutwum has embarked on what he calls a “Hope Tour” across the Ashanti Region as he seeks to win the mandate of party delegates.
The NPP presidential primary, scheduled for January 31, 2026, is expected to be fiercely contested by former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, former Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong, Abetifi MP Bryan Acheampong, and Dr Adutwum himself. Source:Bright Yeboah
