NPP dismisses reports of planned Minority leadership reshuffle

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has firmly denied rumors of an impending leadership reshuffle within its minority caucus. A statement issued by the party's General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, on Thursday, October 29, unequivocally denied any discussions about replacing Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin and his team. Frimpong emphasized that the NPP is content with the existing leadership of the minority caucus and has no plans to alter the current setup.

He vehemently denounced those who are spreading these false reports, alleging their intention to create discord within the party's parliamentary ranks.

Frimpong's denial comes in response to circulating reports suggesting that the NPP is considering changes to its parliamentary leadership. He made it clear, "Let me state it categorically. The party has never had any meeting. The party has never thought about even deliberating to change the leadership in Parliament. We have not."

The General Secretary further cautioned party members against engaging in premature campaigns for the position of running mate to the party's flagbearer in the 2028 general election. He pointed out that the NPP's constitution does not allow for such a selection process, stating, "There is nowhere in our constitution which says that the running mate is selected through a contest or through a campaign; so the people who are busily urging bloggers to promote themselves, you are wrong."
