NPP elects new national executives in Kumasi
Overview
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has concluded its national executive elections at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi, completing a reorganization process intended to prepare the party for the 2028 general elections.
John Boadu was elected National Chairman, securing 2,888 votes to defeat challengers Boakye Agyarko and Paul Afoko. Justin Frimpong Kodua secured a second term as General Secretary. Other key appointments include Kojo Fosu as First Vice Chairperson, Henry Nana Boakye as Second Vice Chairperson, and Nana Akomea as Third Vice Chairperson. The executive team also includes Daniel Nii Kwartei Titus Glover as National Organiser, Alfred Kojo Thompson as National Treasurer, Mavis Hawa Koomson as National Women’s Organiser, and Abanga Fuseini Yakubu as National Youth Organiser. Additionally, Alhaji Mohammed Ali Suraj was elected National Nasara Organiser, and Dennis Miracles Aboagye was elected unopposed as National Communications Director.
Following the vote, party flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia held strategic meetings with Ashanti Regional stakeholders and initiated a nationwide search for parliamentary candidates to identify individuals with high electoral viability. To prevent internal divisions, Bawumia ordered the immediate dissolution of all campaign teams.
In the wake of the election, the new leadership paid a courtesy call to former President John Agyekum Kufuor to seek guidance. While some members in Takoradi welcomed the results as a rebuilding opportunity, the election of Kojo Fosu Boadu as First Vice Chairman has sparked debate due to his past involvement in political vigilantism. Meanwhile, the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has criticized the new leadership, suggesting the NPP cannot recover from its 2024 electoral defeat under these executives.
