Dennis Miracles Aboagye, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Director of Communications, has expressed confidence after the party elected First Vice Chairman, Kojo Bamba.
According to Miracles Aboagye, Kojo Bamba will strengthen the NPP grassroots mobilisation and help protect its votes in the 2028 general election.
Miracles Aboagye labelled Kojo Bamba as an influential, innovative and forward-thinking politician whose appeal among the youth and grassroots could complement the strengths of the party’s leadership.
He further disclosed that Kojo Bamba’s election reflected the need for diversity within the NPP’s leadership.
Speaking on Eyewitness News on Monday, Miracles Aboagye stated, “He is one of the people that we know would be able to provide a certain level of influence on the grassroots. That is Kojo Bamba for you, and that is the level of innovation that he brings to the table that people have not paid their mind to.”
“I am excited about his election because I can tell you one thing for a fact. With Kojo Bamba, the votes of the NPP will be protected. The ballots of the NPP will be protected.”
Also, Kwesi Botchway Jnr, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) communicator, has said Kojo Bamba’s election as First Vice Chairman of the party has unsettled the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
According to Kwesi Botchway Jnr, reaction from some NDC members following Kojo Bamba’s election indicates that the party is in a panic mode.
Kwesi Botchway Jnr argued that Kojo Bamba’s election has sent a clear and unmistakable signal to the NDC.
Speaking on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana on Monday, October 5, 2026, Kwesi Botchway stated, “The election of Kojo Bamba to the national leadership of the NPP has sent a clear and unmistakable signal to the NDC. And the NDC is in panic mode”.
“The NPP is a national party. The NPP is a party that belongs to every single Ghanaian, irrespective of your race, religion, academic background, colour, competence or whatever,” he stated.
Kwesi Botchway Jnr also criticised the NDC for what he described as inconsistency in its assessment of political figures, citing NDC stalwart Sofo Azorka.
He stated, “You cannot glorify Sofo Azorka and denigrate Kojo Bamba”.
“Kojo Bamba is a professional auto mechanic. He has his first degree. He is a grassroots politician. Kojo Bamba just didn’t start. He represents the young people,” he added.
“You are no wiser than the NPP delegates who decided to vote for Kojo Bamba. Let’s respect the decision of the political party,” he said.
Kojo Bamba was elected NPP 1st Vice Chairman after defeating twelve party heavyweights.
Kojo Bamba emerged victorious after beating off competition from 12 other candidates, including Dr Mustapha Abdul Hameed, Nana Akomea, Samuel Pyne, George Kwabena Abankwah Yeboah, Richard Ahiagba, Alhaji Masawudu Osman, Richard Oti Aboagye, Abena Pokua Boaitey Amoah, Yaa Amponsah Frimpong, Henry Nana Boakye, Horma Miez and Bright Esselfie Kumi.
Kojo Bamba was declared the winner of the 1st Vice Chairman position after securing 3,116 votes, with his immediate past National Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye, who obtained 3,061 votes, while Nana Akomea placed third with 2,987 votes.
