The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has initiated processes to expel Professor Kwabena Frimpong Boateng from the party following comments he made during a recent television interview.
In a statement dated January 13, 2026, and signed by General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong, the party said it had taken note of remarks made by the former minister during an interview on Channel One TV on Monday, January 12, 2026, where he reportedly described the NPP as a “fake party” and stated that he no longer considers himself a member of the party.
According to the statement, Professor Frimpong Boateng further made disparaging comments about the party and alleged that the NPP’s 2023 Presidential Primary was rigged in favour of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the party’s presidential candidate for the 2024 general elections.
The NPP has strongly rejected the allegations, describing them as baseless and unsubstantiated. The party maintained that the 2023 presidential primary was conducted in a free, fair, transparent, and credible manner, faithfully reflecting the will of party delegates. It added that the process had been widely acknowledged by all candidates who took part.
The party described Professor Frimpong Boateng’s conduct and utterances as “highly reprehensible” and inimical to the values, unity, and integrity of the NPP.
Consequently, the statement said the party has invoked the relevant provisions of its constitution to commence the necessary procedures to expel him, assuring that the process will be carried out strictly in accordance with due process.
