Lawyer K Gyasi declares intention to contest NPP parliamentary primary in Adansi Asokwa

Private legal practitioner and New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Communications Team member, Abraham Kwaku Gyasi, popularly known as K Gyasi, has filed a declaration of intent to contest the party’s parliamentary primary in the Adansi Asokwa Constituency ahead of the 2028 general elections.

Gyasi filed his declaration on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, during the window opened by the NPP for prospective parliamentary candidates to formally register their interest in contesting the party’s parliamentary primaries.

His declaration places him among those seeking the party’s nomination to represent the constituency in Parliament after the 2028 general elections.

The NPP opened the declaration process on November 1, 2026, as part of its preparations to select parliamentary candidates for the next general elections. The exercise required prospective aspirants, including incumbent Members of Parliament, to register through the party’s designated online portal.

Gyasi has been a member of the NPP’s National Communications Team for close to two decades, participating in the party’s public communication and political discourse.

He is also the immediate past President of the Law Students Network (LSN), an organisation under the party’s Legal Affairs Directorate that brings together law students for engagements on legal education, governance, leadership and politics.

During his tenure as president, he led several engagements, operational activities and mobilisation drives on behalf of the network, focusing on critical issues of national importance and party development.

In April 2026, the organisation held its Leadership and Law Series at the University of Ghana’s Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research (ISSER) Conference Centre. The programme focused on the relationship between legal education, leadership and political participation.

Gyasi is also a youth leader and activist whose political leadership dates back to 2008/2009, when he served as Vice-President of the Tertiary Students Confederacy Network (TESCON) at the University of Ghana.

More recently, he worked in public-sector communications, serving as Public Relations Officer for the One District One Factory (1D1F) Secretariat and Communications Officer for the Monitoring and Evaluation Secretariat, both under the Office of the President during the previous NPP administration.

Gyasi has outlined five key priorities he intends to bring to Adansi Asokwa through his parliamentary ambition: new energy, unity and collectivity, openness and transparency, opportunities, and resulting advocacy.

He says his proposed approach is aimed at promoting unity and collective participation among party members, encouraging openness and transparency in party activities, expanding opportunities for constituents and strengthening advocacy for the constituency’s interests at both the local and national levels.

The five priorities form the basis of his stated vision for the constituency as he seeks the NPP’s parliamentary nomination ahead of the 2028 general elections.

Gyasi’s filing marks his formal expression of interest in seeking the NPP’s parliamentary ticket for Adansi Asokwa, with the party’s subsequent nomination and selection processes expected to determine its eventual candidate for the constituency.
