NPP National Executive Elections: John Boadu Bounces Back As Chairman, Kodua Retains Post

Former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu, reclaimed the role of National Chairman following a decisive victory in the party's recent national executive elections held in Kumasi. Mr. Boadu secured 2,888 votes, surpassing Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko and former National Chairman Paul Afoko with substantial leads.

The election took place at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, where nearly 7,000 delegates participated in choosing new leaders for the party. Boadu's triumph was largely attributed to Sammy Crabbe's strategic decision to withdraw from the chairmanship race and endorse him. Justin Kodua Frimpong retained his position as General Secretary, garnering an overwhelming 4,486 votes.

Kojo Bamba won the position of First Vice Chairman, while Nana Akomea secured the Third Vice Chairman role. The other positions filled included Youth Organiser, Women’s Organiser, National Organiser, National Treasurer, and National Nasara Organiser. Boadu, in his acceptance speech, emphasized the new leadership's commitment to rebuilding the party and preparing it for the 2028 general election. He urged party members to maintain unity and work towards the common goal of victory.
