Emmanuel Victor Paa Asante, a communications executive in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) UK branch and grandson of late Ghanaian statesman Victor Owusu, has announced his intention to contest for the position of Deputy Secretary of the party’s UK branch.

In a campaign poster announcing his bid, Paa Asante said he was seeking the office to help strengthen the party’s organisational structures ahead of the 2028 general elections.

“I am honoured to officially declare my intention to contest for the position of Deputy Secretary – NPP UK Branch,” he said.

He pledged to bring what he described as proven grassroots experience, disciplined leadership and a strong commitment to service to the role.

Paa Asante said his priority would be to support the growth, unity and effectiveness of the NPP’s UK branch while helping build “a stronger, more organized, and forward-looking NPP.”

The campaign carries the slogan, “Think Paa Asante, Think Victory 2028!”, underscoring the party’s efforts to rebuild and position itself for the next general election.

Paa Asante, who has served in the communications set-up of the NPP UK branch, is the grandson of the late Victor Owusu, the distinguished lawyer, former Attorney General and Foreign Affairs Minister, who twice led the Popular Front Party and remains one of the most influential figures in the Danquah-Busia political tradition.

His declaration adds to growing activity within the NPP’s external branches as the party prepares to elect new executives and reorganise its structures following its defeat in the 2024 general election.
