Mr Sackey brings experience in government communications, having worked on the Party’s presidential campaigns and serving as a Deputy Director of Communications for the NPP.
He won the party’s Ablekuma Central parliamentary primary in 2023 and currently serves as a polling station chairman in Laterbiokorshie.
In the 2024 parliamentary election, Sackey secured 32,735 votes, or 42.08 per cent of valid ballots. He drew 3,778 more votes than the NPP’s presidential candidate received in Ablekuma Central.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) incumbent, Abdul-Latif Dan, retained the seat with 45,066 votes.
Closing the 12,331-vote gap in 2028 would require the party to retain that support and reach more voters across Ablekuma Central. His 2024 support provides a base for a renewed campaign.
