Ghanaians React As Kojo Bamba Reveals Why He Was Absent From NPPs First Meeting After The Election

According to a report by Ghpage News today being Wednesday, October 7, 2026, Kojo Bamba has responded to questions surrounding his absence from the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) first meeting following the party’s recent internal elections.

The newly elected First Vice Chairman had been noticeably absent from the meeting, leading to speculation among some party supporters about the reason for his absence. The situation also fueled discussions about the relationship between Bamba and other members of the newly elected national executive team.

Amid the speculation, claims emerged that Nana B, the newly elected NPP National Chairman, had allegedly asked Bamba to swap his position as First Vice Chairman for another position within the party’s leadership structure.

The allegation generated further interest because Bamba had only recently secured his position through the party’s internal electoral process. Questions were subsequently raised about whether there had been disagreements over the positions occupied by some of the newly elected executives.

Bamba has now addressed the matter, explaining his absence from the meeting and responding to the claims that Nana B wanted him to exchange his position.

His response is expected to provide clarity on the circumstances surrounding the issue and help address the speculation that followed his absence.

The development comes as the NPP begins work with its newly elected national executives. The leadership has been entrusted with the responsibility of reorganising the party, strengthening its grassroots structures and preparing it for future elections.

For the NPP, maintaining unity among the new executives will be particularly important as the party seeks to rebuild following its defeat in the 2024 general election.

Bamba’s role as First Vice Chairman places him among the party’s key national officers, making his relationship with the National Chairman and other executives important to the smooth running of the party.

The recent controversy has therefore drawn attention to the early activities of the new leadership and how effectively the executives can work together.

As the NPP moves forward, supporters will be watching closely to see whether the new leadership can maintain cohesion and focus on the party’s broader political objectives rather than allowing internal disagreements to dominate its agenda.
