Former Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Prof. Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, has launched a scathing attack on the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) following moves to expel him from the party.
Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM on Tuesday, January 13, the former minister accused party executives of abuse of power, corruption, and arrogance, which he said directly contributed to the NPP’s defeat in the 2024 general elections.
“Look at how we lost the 2024 election: abuse of power, corruption, arrogance. The party could not stand up to anybody; everybody was doing what they wanted. Now you are saying you want to remove someone from the party? To hell with them,” he said.
Prof. Frimpong-Boateng further alleged that internal party processes had been manipulated for personal gain, claiming that some members were bribed while others were intimidated into supporting preferred candidates.
According to him, this culture of manipulation not only led to the party’s electoral loss but continues to pose a serious threat to its future.
“Instead of the executives writing a report for everyone to read and contribute, they are covering up things and allowing us to go into another election with the same format. It is very bad. The executives should leave, and the party will stand,” he added.
The NPP recently announced that it had initiated proceedings to expel Prof. Frimpong-Boateng following comments he made on The Point of View with Bernard Avle on Channel One TV on Monday, January 12, where he described the party as “fake.”
When asked whether he still considers himself a member of the NPP, the former minister distanced himself from the party’s current leadership.
“Not the fake one. The real one is there. It is a virtual thing. The members are in the background,” he said.
He also criticised the party’s recent flagbearer selection process, alleging widespread bribery and intimidation of delegates.
“Look at how they elected their last flagbearer—twisting people’s arms, bribing delegates and intimidating others to get a flagbearer. This is the beginning of corruption. This should not be allowed in any serious institution or any serious party,” he stated.
