Nana Akomea, a former Managing Director of the State Transport Company (STC), has fired back at Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng after he described the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as a “fake party.”
Speaking in an interview on UTV on January 15, 2026, Nana Akomea noted that Prof Frimpong-Boateng is not in a position to pronounce NPP as fake, as he does not know what is going on internally in the party.
According to Nana Akomea, Prof Frimpong-Boateng claimed not to know that the General Secretary of the NPP raises concerns about his commitment to party affairs.
Nana Akomea on UTV stated, “Professor Frimpong-Boateng did not speak well, and I pray that when he reflects on what he said, he will realise he spoke wrongly and come back to apologise. Who wouldn’t want Professor Frimpong-Boateng in his party?
“Yet he claims he does not even know the General Secretary of the party, who has been elected for about three years. If he doesn’t know him, then who is fake now? He is not in a position to make pronouncements about the party because he does not know what is going on within it,” he said.
Nana Akomea comments follow: Prof. Kwabena Frimpong Boateng described the present NPP as fake.
According to Prof Frimpong Boateng, he does not consider himself a member of the current NPP as it no longer reflects the values of the NPP of old.
Speaking on Channel One TV’s The Point of View on Monday, January 12, Prof Frimpong was questioned if he still sees himself as a member of the NPP. He stated, “The present NPP is not NPP. It is fake. From what I see now, this is not the NPP I used to know.”
“Not the fake one. The real one is there. It is a virtual thing. The members are in the background,” he said.
He further expressed deep concern about the NPP’s internal processes, citing the party’s last presidential primaries were he asserted that people were intimidated with delegates being bribe just to elect a flagbearer.
Prof Frimpong Boateng added, “Look at how they elected their last flagbearer — twisting weak people’s hands, bribing delegates, intimidating others to get a flagbearer. This is the beginning of corruption, and this should not be allowed in any serious institution or any serious party”.
“We lost the elections badly, and we did not deal with the issues that led to the losses, and we still want to go in there. I think that it will be a trainwreck if we elect the old flagbearer,” he stressed.
Meanwhile, Justin Kodua Frimpong, the General Secretary New Patriotic Party (NPP), in a statement, has announced that the party has initiated a move to sack Prof Frimpong Boateng.
The NPP, in a statement issued on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, described his claims as baseless and unsubstantiated allegations.
