Kojo Bamba, Henry Nana Boakye and Nana Akomea elected NPP vice chairmen

Kwadwo Fosu Boadu, popularly known as Kojo Bamba, has been elected First Vice Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) after topping the party’s Vice Chairmanship contest with 3,116 votes.

He will serve alongside Henry Nana Boakye, who secured the Second Vice Chairmanship with 3,061 votes, and Nana Akomea, who polled 2,987 votes to become Third Vice Chairman.

The three emerged from a field of 13 candidates who contested the three Vice Chairmanship positions at the NPP’s National Delegates Conference held at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.

The results were declared by the Electoral Commission, which supervised the election.

Kojo Bamba finished ahead of former Health Minister Mustapha Hamid, who obtained 2,956 votes. Other candidates included Yaa Amponsah Frimpong with 1,503 votes, Richard Ahiagbah with 1,001, Alhaji Masawud Osman with 890, George Kwabena Abankwa Yeboah with 247, Samuel Pyne with 206, Abena Pokuaa Amoah with 194, Richard Oti Aboagye with 152, and Bright Asirifi Kumi with 51 votes.

During his campaign, Kojo Bamba focused on strengthening the party’s grassroots structures, stressing the importance of constituency executives to the NPP’s efforts to regain power in the 2028 general election.

He described constituency executives as the party’s “frontline soldiers” responsible for mobilising supporters and protecting polling stations during elections.

“These constituency executives are the ones who work for power to be attained, but they are often sidelined when power is attained. This is why I want to be down there at the grassroots at this critical moment,” he said.

The election of the three Vice Chairmen forms part of a broader reshaping of the NPP’s national executive leadership.

John Boadu was elected National Chairman after securing 2,888 votes, defeating Boakye Kyerematen Agyarko, who polled 2,408 votes. Former National Chairman Paul Afoko received 790 votes, while Sammy Crabbe obtained 41 votes.

Justin Kodua Frimpong retained his position as General Secretary with 4,486 votes.

The newly elected Vice Chairmen will work alongside the other national executives as the NPP begins preparations to return to power in the 2028 general election.
