NPP Chairmanship: Boakye Agyarko is paying the price of things he said in the past - Mussah Dankwah

Ahead of the NPP chairmanship race, Boakye Agyarko is facing backlash for comments he made during the flagbearer campaign period, according to Executive Director of Global InforAnalytics, Mussah Dankwah. Dankwah believes that Agyarko's troubled relationship with former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo could be a concern if he is elected chairman.

The delegates are worried about Agyarko's ability to function effectively in the role if their past relationship is indicative of what could happen. On TV3 Saturday, October 3, Dankwah stated that the delegates are concerned about Agyarko's relationship with Nana Addo, a senior figure in the party. However, Dr Kwame Asah Asante, a political science lecturer at the University of Ghana, argued that the NPP needs Agyarko as their chairman during this time.

Asante emphasized that the party is in a state of disarray and needs a disciplined, firm, and focused leader. Agyarko is a man of ideas, according to Asante. The NPP is holding a National Delegates Congress and Officers’ elections today, Saturday, October 3, 2026, at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi, with 7,163 delegates expected to participate. The election of national executives is expected to be the main focus of the congress.
