NPP lost 50 parliamentary seats under Justin Kodua — Boakye Antwi queries General Secretary’s leadership
He argued that the loss of 50 parliamentary seats under the current leadership should disqualify incumbent General Secretary Justin Frimpong Kodua from retaining the position.
Former Subin MP Eugene Boakye Antwi, a vocal member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has vehemently criticized the party's performance in the 2024 general elections. Antwi, who is vying for the position of General Secretary, argues that the NPP's loss of 50 parliamentary seats should disqualify incumbent General Secretary Justin Frimpong Kodua from remaining in office.
During a live discussion on Onua Maakye on August 31, Antwi condemned the NPP's electoral outcome, particularly the significant drop in parliamentary representation. He maintains that the party has a history of replacing its General Secretary following a major electoral setback, suggesting that Kodua should also step down.
Antwi draws a parallel between the NPP's 2020 and 2024 performances, pointing out that the party lost 32 seats between those election cycles when Kodua was the General Secretary. He contends that this decline led to demands for leadership change, a precedent he believes should be applied to the current leadership following the 2024 election results.
Antwi emphasizes the need for the NPP to reassess its leadership and organizational structure to rebuild and regain power. He asserts that the party must hold its General Secretary accountable for recent electoral failures and make way for new leadership if it hopes to mount a successful campaign to return to power.
