General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong, has urged members of Kennedy Agyapong’s campaign team to follow the party’s laid-down procedures before demanding disciplinary action against party officials.
His clarification comes after the campaign team called for immediate sanctions against Ashanti Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako (Wontumi) and Bono Regional Chairman Kwame Baffoe (Abronye DC) over comments allegedly suggesting that the party’s electoral roll and processes were being manipulated to favour a particular candidate ahead of the January 2026 presidential primaries.
Speaking on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem, Mr Frimpong said he had not received any formal complaints about the matter and only became aware of the allegations through social media.
“Personally, no one has brought this release or notice to my attention. I only saw it on social media, just like anyone else,” he explained.
While acknowledging the concerns raised by Kennedy Agyapong’s campaign spokesperson, Kwasi Kwarteng, the NPP General Secretary emphasised the need for a proper understanding of party laws before taking any action.
“I was expecting that when he referred, he should have read Article 4, which talks about discipline and grievance procedures. Our party is not one where you wake up and suspend anyone like that,” he stated.
Mr Frimpong explained that the first step in handling such internal disputes is for a formal complaint to be lodged, after which the appropriate disciplinary processes can be triggered.
“If someone does something and you think it’s against the party laws, you first lodge a complaint. My question to Kwasi Kwarteng is: has he or anyone lodged a complaint against Wontumi or Abronye? That’s what some party people don’t understand,” he said.
“They are blaming me or asking me to suspend someone when no formal complaint has been made,” he added.
Mr Frimpong stressed that until the right procedures are followed, he has no legal basis to act.
“If we are working with the laws, then you have to go according to what our laws say. As it stands now, no complaints have come to my table. If a petition comes and I don’t act on it, then you can blame me, but until then, I cannot do anything,” he concluded.
