Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, a founding member of the NPP and former Ambassador to Serbia and Montenegro, has expressed shock over the party leadership’s decision to expel one of its key figures, Prof. Kwabena Frimpong Boateng.
According to Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe, Prof. Frimpong Boateng, who once served as Minister of Environment, Science, Innovation and Technology, is not a lay person to make the comments warranting the decision to get him expelled.
The former CEO of the Korle Bu Cardiothoracic Centre has made some comments about the party in an interview the leadership has termed disparaging, calling for its move to kick him out of the party.
But reacting to the development, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe says he trusts Prof. Frimpong Boateng’s judgement, looking at his pedigree, particularly in politics, making the reaction of the NPP leaders shocking.
To him, the leadership should have spoken to him in private to probe his concerns for making such comments, rather than coming out the way it did.
“Frimpong Boateng is not a kid. Frimpong Boateng academically is very solid, Frimpong Boateng is a man of integrity, a hardworking person. Frimpong Boateng knows how to choose his words and if he’s saying the party is fake, he knows why he said so,” he stated.
“…and if I were them, they would have had a quiet discussion with him before coming out the way they came,” he advised while responding to the development in an interview on TV3’s News Central on Tuesday, January 13, 2026.
This follows the NPP leadership’s decision to invoke relevant provisions in its constitution to commence the necessary processes to expel Prof. Kwabena Frimpong Boateng from the party.
The development 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 NPP also revealed in his Channel One interview that he no longer consider himself a member of the party, 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.
Meanwhile, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe has dared the party leadership to attempt the expulsion and have them to contend with.
