Gordon Asare-Bediako Withdraws from NPP Communications Director Race, Endorses Dennis Miracles Aboagye

New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Communications Director aspirant Gordon Asare-Bediako has withdrawn from the contest and thrown his support behind former Bawumia campaign spokesperson Dennis Miracles Aboagye.

Mr Asare-Bediako announced his decision in a Facebook post on Sunday, August 23, 2026, explaining that it followed extensive consultations with his family, friends and various stakeholders within the party.

He said the decision was based on what he believes is in the best interest of the NPP at what he described as a critical point in the party’s history.

“After deep reflection, wide consultation with family, friends, and stakeholders across our great party, and prayerful consideration of what is best for the New Patriotic Party at this defining moment, I have decided to withdraw my candidature for the position of National Communications Director,” he stated.

Mr Asare-Bediako explained that his decision to enter the race was motivated by his desire to contribute to the rebuilding and repositioning of the NPP ahead of its efforts to regain political power.

However, he said his subsequent reflections had led him to conclude that the party would benefit more from a united front than from competing interests.

“That desire has not diminished, but I have come to the firm conviction that our party’s interest is best served by unity of purpose, not a division of energies,” he said.

Following his withdrawal, Mr Asare-Bediako declared his “full and unreserved support” for Dennis Miracles Aboagye and appealed to those who had supported his campaign to back Mr Aboagye instead.

He described Mr Aboagye as “battle-tested”, pointing to his communication abilities, strategic understanding and experience in frontline advocacy for the NPP.

“I have no doubt that under his leadership, the NPP’s communication front will be sharper, louder, and more effective than ever before,” he said.

Mr Asare-Bediako also urged his supporters to prioritise the collective interests of the party over individual political ambitions.

He stressed that the NPP’s broader goal must remain the restoration of the party to power and the renewal of hope among Ghanaians.

“Our mission is bigger than any individual ambition: it is the retrieval of power for the New Patriotic Party and the restoration of hope for the good people of Ghana,” he said.

He further reaffirmed his loyalty to the NPP, indicating that he remains ready to serve the party in any capacity in which he may be called upon to contribute.
