NPP Founding Member's Explosive Claim: Party is a 'Boxing Association'

NPP Founding Member Distances Himself from Party, Citing 'Boxing Association' Mentality A founding member of Ghana's New Patriotic Party (NPP), David Kankam Boadu, has publicly distanced himself from the party, expressing concern over its current state. In an interview with Channel One TV outside the National Investigations Bureau (NIB) office in Accra, Boadu described the NPP as having "turned into a boxing association." This statement follows recent political tensions and events within the party. Boadu's decision to distance himself is significant, given his historical involvement with the NPP. His comments highlight growing internal divisions. However, he participated in a protest outside the NIB in solidarity with Chairman Wontumi, who was arrested. This action shows a complex relationship between personal political stances and loyalty to party figures. "NPP has turned into a boxing association, that's why I took a backseat," Boadu stated, emphasizing his dissatisfaction with the party's current trajectory. He further explained that his presence at the protest was a show of support for his "brother," Chairman Wontumi, regardless of his personal political detachment. Boadu's comments underscore the need for internal reconciliation within the NPP and raise questions about the future of the party. His decision to participate in the protest, despite his criticism, adds a layer of complexity to the ongoing political narrative in Ghana.
