Ghana's New Patriotic Party (NPP) First National Vice Chairman, Kojo Fosu Boadu, popularly known as Kojo Bamba, has denied reports of an attempt to alter the party's vice chairmanship positions. He stated that he was not approached by the party's leadership to relinquish his position to either Henry Nana Boakye or Nana Akomea. Kojo Bamba was elected to his position at the NPP's National Delegates Conference.
According to Kojo Bamba, the reports suggesting that he was to occupy the third position, with Nana Akomea and Henry Nana Boakye moving up to the first and second positions, are untrue. He made these comments in a video statement, addressing the rumors. Kojo Bamba emphasized that he was pleased with his position and that there were no disagreements among the newly elected vice chairpersons.
The NPP elected new national executives at its National Delegates Conference held at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi on October 3. Kojo Bamba, Henry Nana Boakye, and Nana Akomea secured the first, second, and third positions of National Vice Chairman respectively. The party's national leadership has shifted its focus towards rebuilding and winning the 2028 general elections.
Kojo Bamba stressed that all candidates who contested the election contributed to the party's democratic process. He urged the new national leadership to prioritize capturing power from the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2028 general elections. According to him, the role of the new leadership is to lead the party to victory.
The NPP's new national executives will be tasked with leading the party in the coming years. Kojo Bamba's denial of the reports aims to put to rest speculation about potential internal conflicts within the party. His statement emphasizes the party's focus on unity and future elections.
The governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) has been in power in Ghana since 2023. The NPP's goal of capturing power in the 2028 general elections will require effective leadership and strategy. Kojo Bamba's comments reflect the party's determination to present a united front.
Kojo Bamba concluded by emphasizing that there are no issues between him and his fellow vice chairpersons. The NPP's new national leadership will need to work together to achieve its goals.
