Former General Secretary John Boadu has been elected as the new National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), while incumbent General Secretary Justin Frimpong Kodua, known as "JFK," retained his position. The historic Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi, Ashanti Region, hosted a monumental national delegates conference on October 3-4, 2026, which saw thousands of delegates choose the party's new leaders.
Boadu secured nearly 50 percent of the total votes cast to claim the chairmanship, while Kodua defended his seat with a commanding 4,486 votes, earning praise from political analysts as a vote of confidence in his administrative capabilities and grassroots connections. Other key portfolios reshaped during the congress include National Nasara Organiser, Vice Chairperson, National Treasurer, National Organiser, National Women’s Organiser, National Youth Organiser, and National Communications Director.
These new leaders are now tasked with unifying and re-energizing the party's base for future political challenges.
