NPP chairmanship hopeful John Boadu gains broad-based support – campaign confirms
Support for John Boadu’s chairmanship bid extends beyond the New Patriotic Party ranks, campaign spokesperson reveals.
The New Patriotic Party’s national campaign liaison, Mr Samuel Abu‑Sakima, has disclosed that Mr John Boadu, a presidential staffer and former Acting Chairman, enjoys backing from Ghanaians who are not even party members. Abu‑Sakima said the coalition of supporters cuts across religious and ethnic lines, reflecting what he described as widespread confidence in Boadu’s leadership capacity. This external endorsement comes as the party prepares for its national congress scheduled for next month, a crucial step toward the 2024 general election.
Political analysts link the surge in popularity to Boadu’s perceived central role in recent electoral successes. His tenure as Acting Chairman saw intensification of internal party reforms that many associate with improved candidate vetting and campaign coordination. Observers note that such credibility among non‑party affiliates could prove decisive in the upcoming selection process.
The campaign plans to formalize this grassroots momentum through a series of town‑hall meetings in the Ashanti and Eastern regions later this week. These gatherings aim to gather feedback and solidify alliances ahead of the final nomination period.
