So these delegates voted this guy who brought the party MPs number from 165 to 135 – Monny Combs

In an Official Facebook Post on 4 October 2026, commentator Monny Combs reacted sharply to the outcome of the NPP National Delegates Conference, where John Boadu was elected once again to a top executive position. Combs criticized the delegates’ decision, recalling Boadu’s controversial record as General Secretary of the party.  

He wrote: “So these delegates voted this guy who – when he was a General Secretary he bought a $200,000 Richard Mille watch and brought the party MPs number from 165 to 135 as hang parliament. We all dey here we go see what go happen. John Boadu akai!!!” The statement combined allegations of extravagance with political critique, suggesting that Boadu’s leadership contributed to the NPP’s reduced parliamentary majority, resulting in a hung parliament.  

Observers note that Boadu’s tenure as General Secretary was marked by both organizational successes and criticisms. While he was credited with strengthening party structures and overseeing electoral campaigns, detractors accused him of failing to secure parliamentary dominance and of being associated with lavish spending. The reference to the Richard Mille watch symbolized what critics see as a disconnect between party leadership and ordinary members struggling with economic hardship.  

The post has generated strong reactions online. Supporters of Combs argued that the delegates’ choice reflected a lack of accountability, warning that past mistakes could be repeated under Boadu’s renewed leadership. Critics of Combs, however, defended the decision, insisting that Boadu’s experience and organizational skills remain vital for the party’s survival in a competitive political environment.  

At its core, Combs’s statement was both a condemnation and a warning. His words highlighted the tension between loyalty to experienced party figures and the demand for fresh leadership. By invoking the memory of the NPP’s parliamentary decline from 165 seats to 135, he underscored the stakes of leadership choices and the potential consequences for the party’s future.
