The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has dismissed reports suggesting that it intends to change its parliamentary leadership, insisting that no discussions have been held on replacing Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin and his team.
The party’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, said the NPP remained satisfied with the current leadership of the Minority Caucus and had not considered any reshuffle.
Speaking at a press conference at the party’s headquarters at Asylum Down in Accra today, Lawyer Justin Kodua Frimpong accused those circulating the reports of attempting to create confusion within the party’s parliamentary ranks.
“The party has never had any meeting and has never thought about even deliberating to change the leadership in Parliament. We have not. So those who are busily peddling lies and trying to create this confusion among the leadership in Parliament and the mighty Minority caucus will not succeed,” he said.
He also criticised individuals campaigning on social media to be selected as the party’s running mate for the 2028 general elections, describing the approach as misguided.
He explained that the NPP’s constitution does not provide for the selection of a running mate through public campaigns, adding that the decision rests with the party’s flagbearer in consultation with the National Council.
“There is nowhere in our constitution which says that running mate is selected through contest or through campaign. So the people who are busily urging bloggers to promote themselves, you are wrong,” he added.
