NPP Gen-Sec Cautions MPs, Former MMDCEs Over Premature Endorsements

Justin Kodua Frimpong

 

The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong, has issued a stern warning to party members, particularly Members of Parliament (MPs) and former Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs), for publicly endorsing presidential hopefuls ahead of the party’s upcoming primaries.

In an interview on Kumasi-based OTEC 102.9 FM’s political talk show “Dwabrem,” Mr. Frimpong expressed concern over recent developments in which some MPs have openly declared their support for former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, while over 200 former MMDCEs have thrown their weight behind Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong.

He described such endorsements as premature and potentially harmful to the unity and internal democratic process of the NPP.

“These actions, if not checked, can jeopardise our internal arrangements and create unnecessary divisions within the party,” Mr. Frimpong warned.

He emphasised that the party’s National Executive Council (NEC) has already set January 31, 2026, as the official date for the presidential primaries. He further revealed that detailed guidelines regarding nomination procedures, campaign timelines, and code of conduct will soon be made public.

Mr. Frimpong reminded all aspirants and supporters to respect the party’s constitution and abide by its rules. He warned that disciplinary actions would be taken against any individual whose conduct brings the party into disrepute.

“We will not hesitate to sanction anyone, no matter their status, if they go against the laid-down procedures. Unity is paramount, especially as we prepare for the crucial 2028 general election,” he stated.

His comments come at a critical moment as the NPP gears up for its presidential primaries, a process expected to shape the party’s future and determine its flagbearer for the 2028 general election.

Political observers believe Mr. Frimpong’s remarks are part of efforts by the national leadership to ensure a fair, transparent, and united front going into the next electoral battle.
