The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has taken a firm stance against former party stalwart Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, describing his recent comments as deeply offensive and harmful to the party’s unity, credibility, and core values.

In a statement issued in Accra on Tuesday, January 13, and signed by General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong, the party announced that it has activated constitutional procedures to begin the process of expelling Prof. Frimpong-Boateng, in line with internal party rules and due process.

The decision follows remarks made by the former minister during an interview on Channel One TV on Monday, January 12, 2026, in which he labelled the NPP a “fake party” and openly stated that he no longer regarded himself as a member of the party.

According to the NPP, Prof. Frimpong-Boateng went further to make what it described as “disparaging and unfounded” allegations, including claims 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.

The party has flatly rejected both the characterisation of the NPP and the claims surrounding the primary, insisting that the contest was conducted in a free, fair, transparent and credible manner.

It stressed that the outcome of the 2023 primary was widely accepted by all candidates who participated, as well as by party members, as a true reflection of the will of the delegates.

The NPP says it remains committed to upholding discipline and internal democracy, and will not tolerate statements or actions that undermine its integrity.
