David Kankam Boadu, an aspiring National Chairman for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called on party leadership to abandon “the spirit of arrogance” and handle the issues surrounding Professor Frimpong-Boateng with a focus on unity, dignity, and stability.
Mr Boadu described the current internal friction as a major setback that threatens to further destabilise the NPP.
He questioned the party’s consistency, noting the contradiction in granting amnesty to previously suspended members while simultaneously threatening others with expulsion.
He cautioned:
“Record this interview and send it to the General Secretary and the leadership of the party to tread cautiously because our numbers have dwindled, and so why are we interested in expelling party members?”
Instead of triggering expulsion proceedings, Boadu argued that the best approach would be to invite the former minister for a closed-door engagement. He emphasised that the current leadership style is hindering the party’s ability to rebuild.
“The spirit of arrogance has taken over some party leaders, and I want them to calm down. They should calm down so that we can restrategise and restructure the party. Our party leaders should take their time so that we can remobilise ourselves and deal with the crisis in the party instead of threatening people.”
Speaking on As It Is in Ghana—an apolitical program hosted by Sir Richie on Rainbow Radio (92.4FM UK and 87.5FM Ghana)—Boadu warned that without a united front, the party risks defeat in the 2028 elections, regardless of who is elected to lead.
He concluded by stressing that the current public back-and-forth is damaging the party’s reputation:
“I believe what the party leadership is doing and what the team of Prof. Frimpong Boateng is doing is rather dragging the name of the party in the mud. If I had my way, they would rather be disciplined. I want to stress that the party should deal with the arrogance of power and deal with the matter in a manner that will not drag the party further.”
