Justin Kodua Takes 71% Lead in NPP General Secretary Race Ahead of October 3, 2026, Elections

Justin Kodua Frimpong, the sitting New Patriotic Party (NPP) General Secretary, is dominating the race to keep his post, according to a Global InfoAnalytics poll shared by Adom Online. The survey measured support among party delegates and found Kodua with 71% backing, leaving his closest rival, former MP Sylvester Tetteh of Ngleshie‑Amanfro, way behind with 17%. Eugene Antwi and Charles Dwamena trailed with 6% each, showing how thin the contest is for the runner‑up spots.

The poll gives a snapshot of delegate preference ahead of the NPP’s national executive elections slated for Saturday, October 3, 2026, at the Kumasi Sports Stadium. Those elections will decide the full slate of party officers, including the national chair and other key ranks. Delegates from across the country are expected to travel to the Ashanti regional capital to cast their ballots.

Kodua has held the General Secretary position since 2020, having won a close contest against former Chairman Peter Osei Adoboe. His current lead in the internal poll suggests he is positioned comfortably to extend his tenure, though the party’s internal dynamics can shift quickly as campaigning progresses.

The outcome of the October 3 vote will set the tone for the NPP’s internal leadership for the next cycle and may influence the party’s approach to upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections. Observers will watch whether the strong poll numbers translate into an unambiguous victory at the stadium.

For now, the party’s machinery is in full gear, with delegates set to converge on the Kumasi Sports Stadium to make the final decision.
