General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong, has dispelled suggestions that he has assumed the role or responsibilities of the party’s National Chairman, Stephen Ntim.

According to Mr Frimpong, Mr Ntim remains the duly elected leader of the party and continues to serve in his official capacity.

In an interview with Channel One TV on Wednesday, 18 June, Mr Kodua sought to clarify what he described as misconceptions about his role and influence within the party.

“I have not taken his job. Stephen Ntim is our National Chairman. He is the elected National Chairman of our party now,” Mr Kodua stated emphatically.

His comments come amid growing speculation within political circles and among some party supporters that the General Secretary may be exercising influence beyond his remit, potentially overshadowing the chairman’s position.

However, Mr Kodua insisted that there was no such power struggle within the NPP and that the party’s leadership structure remained intact.

Mr Kodua reiterated his commitment to party unity and respect for internal structures.

He noted that both he and Mr Ntim were working in close collaboration to advance the NPP’s agenda, especially in the lead-up to the 2024 general elections.

“There is no confusion. We are all working together for the good of the party,” he added.
