Kwesi Kwarteng Declines Deputy National Communications Director Role in NPP

According to a report by GHOne TV on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, Kwesi Kwarteng Esq., a member of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) communications team, has declined an offer to serve as the party’s Deputy National Communications Director. The party has since named Kwesi Botchway Jnr to the position.

Mr. Kwarteng said the party’s leadership approached him about the role, but he respectfully turned it down. “I was contacted by NPP leadership regarding the role of Deputy National Comms. Director, but I respectfully declined. I believe I can serve the party better in other areas,” he said.

The Deputy National Communications Director is a prominent position within the party, responsible for shaping its public messaging and representing it in the media. Mr. Kwarteng’s decision to decline it had therefore drawn attention within party circles.

He did not specify the other areas in which he believes he can serve, nor did he give further reasons for his decision. His statement, however, suggests he remains committed to the party and sees his contribution as best made in a different capacity.

Following his refusal, the party moved to fill the vacancy with Mr. Botchway Jnr, who takes up the role as the NPP continues to structure its communications team.

Political observers will be watching how the new appointment shapes the party’s public engagement and messaging strategy going forward.
