Former President Kufuor backs Dennis Miracles Aboagye for NPP Communications post | Discuss Ghana

The campaign for the soul of the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) communications machinery has received a massive structural boost. Just days after securing his high-profile GH¢50 million bail from EOCO, Dennis Miracles Aboagye has taken his campaign directly to the highest elders of the party, securing a major endorsement from former President John Agyekum Kufuor.

Taking to his social media platforms on Friday, July 17, 2026, the aspiring National Communications Director shared details of his private audience with the revered elder statesman at his Peduase residence, signaling that his campaign is moving forward with full institutional backing.

The Elder Statesman’s Verdict

According to Aboagye, President Kufuor did not mince words when evaluating his readiness to lead the ruling party's media strategy into the next political cycle:

“The little I know about you, your articulation, your intelligence and your understanding of the systems and structures, I am convinced you can do the work. And once we have identified someone who can do it, all we have to do is to back you, so you can deliver.”

For Aboagye, this high-level blessing is the ultimate political shield. Coming immediately after state prosecutors tried to tie him to a highly publicized GH¢55 million IMCCoD investigation, having the "Gentle Giant" of Ghanaian politics publicly validate his integrity and intelligence completely changes the media narrative in his favor.

The Campaign Pillars: "Facts, Fire, Strategy"

Leaning heavily into his newly consolidated momentum, Aboagye outlined his core vision for the NPP Communications Directorate under the hashtag #M4C (Miracles for Communications):

Commanding the Narrative: Aboagye reiterated that his primary goal is to ensure the NPP aggressively dominates the airwaves, moving away from a defensive communications posture.

The "Fire" Element: Reaffirming his "unbroken" post-detention stance, he signaled that his approach to political communication will be fierce, uncompromising, and highly expressive.

Grassroots Mobilization: By flashing pictures alongside President Kufuor, Aboagye is sending a clear signal to internal party delegates that he represents the continuous legacy and traditional values of the NPP establishment.
