Leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has invoked relevant provisions in its constitution to commence the necessary processes to expel Prof. Kwabena Frimpong Boateng from the party.
This is due to comments made by the former Minister of Environment, Science, Innovation and Technology, which the party describes as highly reprehensible and damaging to its values, unity, and integrity.
A Tuesday, January 13, 2026 statement issued by the party and signed by its General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, said said Prof. Frimpong Boateng has described the NPP as a “fake party” in a Monday, January 12, 2026 interview.
He added that the former flagbearer aspirant of the party also revealed in his Channel One interview that he no longer consider himself a member of the NPP, adding that the leadership rigged the last flagbearer race in favour of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
“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 statement added that the party 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.
