NPP invokes constitution to expel Prof Kwabena Frimpong Boateng

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has described the conduct and utterances of Professor Kwabena Frimpong Boateng as highly reprehensible and inimical to the values, unity, and integrity of the political party. 

It has consequently invoked the relevant provisions of its Constitution to commence the necessary processes to expel him from the party, strictly in accordance with due process.

Comment

A statement issued by the party in Accra today (Jan 13) and signed by its General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong explained that the party had taken due notice of comments made by Professor Frimpong-Boateng during an interview on Channel One TV on Monday, [January 12, 2026], in which he described the NPP as a "fake party" and further stated that he no longer considered himself a member of the NPP.

“In the same interview, Professor Frimpong-Boateng made additional disparaging remarks about the party and alleged, among other things, that the party's 2023 Presidential Primary was rigged in favour of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP's presidential candidate for the 2024 general election,” it noted.

The party, the statement said, unequivocally rejects Professor Frimpong Boateng's unfortunate characterisation of the NPP “and firmly denies his baseless and unsubstantiated allegations regarding the conduct of the 2023 Presidential Primary.”

It noted that the said primary had been widely acknowledged by all candidates who participated, as well as by well-meaning members of the Party, as having been conducted in a free, fair, transparent, and credible manner, faithfully reflecting the will of Party delegates.
