A renowned surgeon and former Minister for Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Prof Kwabena Frimpong Boateng, has said he is no longer a member of the current New Patriotic Party (NPP).
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.
In related news, Martin Kpebu, a Private legal practitioner, has declared that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is not ready for the 2028 election.
Lawyer Kpebu asserted that the NPP has effectively ruled itself out of winning the 2028 general elections with the range of candidates they are presenting ahead of their primaries.
Speaking on The Key Point on Saturday, January 3, Martin Kpebu explained, “This whole range of candidates, it tells me one thing: the NPP is not ready for the 2028 election. They are not ready. This is the tone-deaf attitude that got them into opposition in the first place.
How can you parade Bawumia? Bawumia, who is a feather with Akufo-Addo? Such a man who helped Akufo-Addo to unleash terror on us, economic doldrums, right? Haircuts, left-right-centre. When… where is he going to get a better record to campaign? You have to bring somebody who is not tainted,” he said.
Lawyer Kpebu further detailed that Kennedy Agyapong’s temperament disqualifies him from serious presidential consideration
“When it comes to Kennedy Agyapong, you know, he lacks the temperament and everything to be president, so we’ll not waste any more time on that,” he added.
He added, “Bryan Acheampong, who wanted to take our hotels for a song. Bryan Acheampong wanted to take our hotels for a song, but for the leadership of Okudzeto, who mobilised Ghanaians. He will loot us dry. Bryan Acheampong will loot us dry,” he stated.
“He’s a good guy, but when you’re looking for a president, there must be that spark. He has not postured himself as someone who can be the father of the nation,” he said.
“Kwabena Agyapong, I have nothing to say that particularly. It’s just that his time is gone, that’s it,” he stated.
“They should bring the youngster, bring Boamah, so that he will contest 2028, lose, and then by 2032 everyone will say, ‘Yes, now he’s ripe,’” he stated.
