She was met with enthusiastic welcomes at several stops, with supporters chanting and engaging with her messages.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, the party\u2019s next flagbearer must be someone who demonstrates compassion, firmness and an ability to deliver. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNPP needs a leader with a kind heart\u2026 a man of valour, fearless and courageous,\u201d she told delegates, adding that Ghana also \u201cnow needs a businessman as President to transform our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She insisted that Mr Agyapong fits these qualities, noting his philanthropic work and reputation for speaking boldly on national issues. She contrasted his performance with that of former presidential aspirants, saying the party had historically repeated candidates who performed strongly at the polls. <\/p>\n<p>In her view, the showing of Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in the last general election does not merit another attempt.<\/p>\n<p>Naa Torshie, therefore, urged delegates to \u201creject any candidate who is asking for repetition,\u201d emphasising that the party must prioritise electability and credibility as it readies for the next national contest.<\/p>\n<p>Some delegates who attended the engagements said her message provided clarity as they prepared to vote in the internal polls. Others expressed confidence that Mr Agyapong would secure a commanding victory in the region if the sentiments shared during the tour translate into votes.<\/p>\n<p>The Volta Region, although traditionally an NDC stronghold, has become an important symbolic battleground for NPP presidential aspirants seeking to demonstrate nationwide appeal. <\/p>\n<p>Mr Agyapong\u2019s team believes strong mobilisation in the region will strengthen his national campaign momentum.<\/p>\n<p>The NPP is expected to intensify internal campaigning in the coming weeks as candidates continue their tours across the country ahead of the party\u2019s next major electoral milestone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <div class=\"booster-block booster-reactions-block\">\n            <div
