NPP risks losing Karaga seat if Amin Adam doesn’t contest – John Boadu

John Boadu, the newly elected National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has emphasised that the identity of the person leading the party is not as crucial as their commitment to serving the party's interests. In an interview on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Boadu highlighted that all elected party executives serve as representatives of the party, fulfilling specific duties entrusted to them.

Boadu pointed out that the recent amendments to the NPP’s constitution, which grants the presidential candidate the role of party leader, have been functional since 1992 and have served the party well. He questioned the necessity of changing the current leadership structure, stating that the existing constitution has been effective since the party’s formation. Boadu expressed his frustration at not being able to mobilise support for his candidacy, acknowledging the strength of the current arrangement.

The newly elected chairman stressed that the primary focus should be on the responsibilities that each elected executive must fulfill, rather than debating who holds the top position within the party.
