Bawumia congratulates John Boadu, new NPP executives

New Patriotic Party (NPP) leader Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has expressed his congratulations to John Boadu and the newly elected national executives following the party's national executive elections held in Kumasi. The elections, which took place at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Saturday, October 3, 2026, concluded the party's reorganization in preparation for the 2028 general elections. Boadu was elected as the new National Chairman, while Justin Frimpong Kodua retained the position of General Secretary.

In a statement released on Sunday, Dr Bawumia praised the elections for being both peaceful and transparent, stating that the results accurately reflected the choices of the NPP delegates. He commended Boadu and all the newly elected executives, emphasizing that they now bear the responsibility of initiating preparations for the party's campaign leading up to the 2028 elections.

Dr Bawumia pledged his unwavering support to the new leadership, with a particular focus on inclusiveness and ensuring that the party incorporates the experience and abilities of all its members. He stressed that no member of the party should be left out, regardless of their performance in the national executive elections.

"The 2028 campaign will be inclusive, without exception," Dr Bawumia affirmed. This sentiment comes as the NPP shifts its attention from internal elections to rebuilding its structures and preparing for the upcoming general election. Boadu has echoed this commitment, vowing to rebuild the party from the grassroots level and strengthen its organization ahead of 2028.

Dr Bawumia expressed his readiness to collaborate with the new leadership to establish an inclusive party structure that can leverage the strengths of members nationwide. His statement serves as his initial response to the election, reinforcing the calls for unity within the party as the new executives assume their roles.

Other messages from the party's leadership and those who were defeated in the elections have also highlighted the importance of putting the internal contest behind them and focusing on a shared objective.
