John Boadu Elected National Chairman of NPP

John Boadu has been elected National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), succeeding Paulie Osei Tutu who held the position for eight years. The election took place at the party's national congress in Accra on Saturday, where Boadu secured the required majority after multiple rounds of voting. Party officials confirmed he received 1,247 valid votes out of 2,300 delegates present, beating his closest rival by a margin of 382 votes. Boadu, a former Deputy General Secretary of the NPP, brings decades of grassroots experience and loyalty to the party's founding principles. His election marks a significant shift in leadership as the NPP prepares for upcoming by-elections in key constituencies. The outgoing chairman, Osei Tutu, praised Boadu's dedication while emphasizing the need for unity as the party moves forward. Reactions from regional leaders across the Ashanti, Eastern and Western regions highlighted confidence in Boadu's ability to consolidate the party's structures ahead of the 2024 general election cycle. The National Executive Committee has immediately scheduled a series of stakeholder engagement forums to discuss the party's strategy under the new chairmanship.
