The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced that it has begun processes to expel Professor Kwabena Frimpong Boateng from the party following comments he made during a recent media interview.
In a statement dated January 13, 2026, the party said it took note of remarks made by Prof. Frimpong Boateng on Channel One TV on Monday, January 12, in which he described the NPP as a “fake party” and stated that he no longer considers himself a member.
The NPP said the former minister went further to make what it described as disparaging claims about the party, including allegations that the 2023 presidential primary was rigged in favour of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.
“The Party unequivocally rejects Professor Frimpong Boateng’s unfortunate characterization of the NPP and firmly denies his baseless and unsubstantiated allegations regarding the conduct of the 2023 Presidential Primary,” the statement said.
According to the party, the primary was conducted in a “free, fair, transparent, and credible manner,” and reflected the will of party delegates.
The statement added that the party considers Prof. Frimpong Boateng’s comments “highly reprehensible and inimical to the values, unity, and integrity of the Party.”
“Consequently, the Party has invoked the relevant provisions of its Constitution to commence the necessary processes to expel him from the Party, strictly in accordance with due process,” it said.
