Paul Afoko to file nomination for NPP National Chairman on August 25

This formal step occurs within the party's extended filing window. Afoko publicly declared his candidacy in July 2026 and collected his nomination forms on August 18. The deadline for submission was extended by the NPP's National Officers Elections Committee from August 27 to August 29 due to significant interest from aspirants.

Afoko's campaign, known as the "3R Agenda," focuses on reuniting, rebuilding, and recapturing the presidency, aiming to heal internal divisions and strengthen party structures for the 2028 elections following the 2024 defeat. He has engaged with delegates and grassroots supporters across various regions, emphasizing reconciliation and unity. Following the filing, the NPP's national officer election calendar includes vetting from August 31 to September 3, results on September 5, appeals on September 6–7, and delegate voting on October 3, 2026.
