'Only Dr Bawumia and Boakye Agyarko can rescue the NPP ' - Fadi Daboussi

Staunch New Patriotic Party (NPP) member, Fadi Daboussi, has said that former Vice President and NPP flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, and aspiring National Chairman, Boakye Agyarko, are among the figures capable of helping the party overcome its current challenges.

In a viral video sighted by GhanaWeb on August 26, 2026, Daboussi criticised some NPP members over their recent comments and their positions on illegal mining, popularly known as galamsey.

He particularly took aim at Abena Osei-Asare over her criticism of Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) CEO Sammy Gyamfi and her participation in an anti-galamsey demonstration.

“Who engaged in galamsey more than the former NPP administration under Samuel Abu Jinapor?” he asked.

Daboussi also referred to former Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD), Joseph Boahen Aidoo, claiming that he faced threats over opposition to the destruction of cocoa farms for illegal mining activities.

“Galamsey was at its peak under the former government. At a point, former COCOBOD CEO Joseph Aidoo was getting threats for opposing the cutting of cocoa trees for galamsey. All these happened under NPP, but now Abena has the effrontery to go on an anti-galamsey demo. It is annoying,” he said.

Daboussi further argued that the NPP needs experienced figures to help rebuild the party and reposition it for future elections.

He singled out Dr Bawumia and Boakye Agyarko as two individuals he believes could help address the party’s current difficulties.

“If you don’t engage Bawumia and Boakye-Agyarko, the party is headed into the Odaw gutter,” he said.

Daboussi’s comments come amid ongoing discussions within the NPP over the party’s leadership, communication strategy and preparations for the next general election.
