Former President John Agyekum Kufuor
The Member of Parliament for Okaikwei Central, Patrick Yaw Boamah, has revealed that former President John Agyekum Kufuor is concerned about the current state of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), particularly its diminishing internal discipline and weakening party culture.
Speaking in an interview on Channel One TV on Monday, June 23, 2025, Boamah disclosed that the former president recently voiced his frustrations during a conversation at the funeral of retired Justice Sulemana Gbadegbe.
“He is worried about the state of the party, that I can tell you for free, I saw him on Friday at the funeral of the late Justice Gbadegbe. The first question he asked was, ‘How is the party front?’ Because the party made him, and it is part of him. So, naturally, he is worried,” citinewsroom.com quoted him as saying.
According to the lawmaker, the NPP has traditionally thrived under the guidance of firm and principled leadership at the national level leaders who were willing to hold even the most senior party figures accountable for the sake of party unity.
“We have been used to strong chairmen who could correct even the flagbearer, or rally the national executive officers to sit the president or flagbearer down to make decisions that benefit the party,” he said.
Boamah has joined other party voices in calling on the NPP’s national executives to take urgent steps to restore discipline, rebuild trust, and reenergize the party base as it prepares for the future.
