The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has resolved to get rid of individuals who have become contrived traitors and hired back-stabbers working in the interest of the party’s main political opponents.
One of the considered betrayers who will soon be shown the exit to serve as a deterrent, according to information gathered, is former Minister of State Professor Kwabena Frimpong Boateng.
Accordingly, the party has begun formal processes to expel the ex-Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, following his unsavoury and anti-party comments during an interview on Channel One TV on January 12, 2026.
Professor Frimpong-Boateng, after failing to convince former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for a renewed mandate, became aggressively bitter and virtually acted as an agent of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) ahead of the 2024 general election, spewing all manner of spurious allegations against the NPP and some of its members.
Then opposition NDC used his allegations, albeit unsubstantiated, heavily against the NPP in the lead-up to the last presidential and parliamentary elections.
In the latest interview, Prof. Frimpong Boateng described the NPP as a “fake party” and stated that he no longer considered himself a member.
According to him, the NPP he once proudly served has been fundamentally distorted and now bears little resemblance to the party he knew in earlier years.
“The present NPP is not NPP. It is fake. From what I see now, this is not the NPP I used to know,” he claimed.
When pressed on whether he still considered himself a member of the party, Professor Frimpong Boateng distanced himself from what he described as its current structure.
“Not the fake one. The real one is there. It is a virtual thing. The members are in the background,” Prof Frimpong Boateng further claimed.
He also alleged that the Party’s 2023 presidential primary was rigged in favour of Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP’s presidential candidate for the 2024 general election.
However, in a strong rebuttal, the NPP dismissed the professor’s claims as baseless, insisting that the 2023 primary was conducted in a “free, fair, transparent, and credible manner,” adding that the results reflected the will of the party’s delegates.
The party in a statement signed by its General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong, said the electoral process was widely accepted by candidates who participated and by respected members across the party’s structures.
“The party unequivocally rejects Professor Frimpong Boateng’s unfortunate characterisation of the NPP and firmly denies his baseless and unsubstantiated allegations regarding the conduct of the 2023 Presidential Primary.
“The said primary has been widely acknowledged by all candidates who participated, as well as by well-meaning members of the Party, as having been conducted in a free, fair, transparent, and credible manner, faithfully reflecting the will of the Party delegates,” it emphasised.
NPP, the statement pointed out, considers Prof. Frimpong Boateng’s remarks as “highly reprehensible” and damaging to the unity and integrity of the party.
“The New Patriotic Party views the conduct and utterances of Professor Kwabena Frimpong Boateng as highly reprehensible and inimical to the values, unity, and integrity of the Party. “Consequently, the Party has invoked the relevant provisions of its Constitution to commence the necessary processes to expel him from the Party, strictly in accordance with due process,” the statement concluded.
The party emphasised that the disciplinary steps being taken are in line with internal procedures and are aimed at safeguarding its values and cohesion ahead of the 2028 general election.
Professor Frimpong Boateng has been globally acclaimed and rightly so, as a consummate physician and a top-class surgeon, but politically disastrous in character.
