Amb. Edward Boateng congratulates Boadu, Kodua on election wins

Former Ghanaian Ambassador to China, Edward Boateng, has extended his congratulations to John Boadu and Justin Frimpong Kodua on their respective victories in the National Delegates Conference for the New Patriotic Party (NPP). Mr Boateng emphasized the significant responsibility that both leaders have in rebuilding the party, fortifying its structures, and fostering unity among members prior to the 2028 general elections.

Boadu's extensive experience within the NPP, from polling stations to the national level, makes him an ideal candidate to lead efforts in reorganising the party. Mr Boateng commended Boadu's dedication, sacrifice, and commitment to the party, noting that he has previously served as National Organiser and Acting General Secretary between 2014 and 2016, which contributed to the party's 2016 electoral victory.

Kodua, who retained the General Secretary position, was lauded for his victory, marking him as the first person since Dan Botwe to win the role for a second consecutive term. Boateng called on Kodua to work closely with Boadu to reorganise and strengthen the party’s structures, ensuring they function effectively from the local to the national level.

He urged the new leadership to promote reconciliation within the party and foster unity among members who supported different candidates in the internal elections. Boateng emphasized that with a significant mandate comes a corresponding responsibility to lead with competence, fairness, and humility, while strengthening discipline and accountability, and remaining accessible to the grassroots.
