New Patriotic Party (NPP) General Secretary aspirant Eugene Boakye Antwi has criticised the performance of incumbent General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong, arguing that party members who support his continued leadership do not genuinely want the NPP to return to power.

According to Antwi, Kodua’s performance contributed to the NPP’s defeat in the 2024 general elections, despite the party being in government and having access to significant resources and intelligence.

“Any NPP member who supports the current General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, does not want the party to return to power because he has performed poorly as General Secretary,” he said.

In a video sighted by GhanaWeb on August 31, 2026, Antwi questioned how the NPP, while in government, could lose 50 parliamentary seats and subsequently find itself in opposition.

“You are in power with all resources and intelligence and still lost 50 seats and went into opposition,” he stated.

His comments come as the NPP prepares for its internal elections, with the position of General Secretary expected to attract intense competition as the party seeks to reorganise and rebuild ahead of the 2028 general elections.
