The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, popularly known as Nana B, says former Minister for Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, must be held accountable for describing the party as a \u201cfake party\u201d.<\/p>\n

His comments follow Prof Frimpong-Boateng\u2019s remarks on Channel One TV on Monday, January 12, in which he accused the NPP leadership of abandoning the party\u2019s founding values\u2014comments that have triggered strong reactions within the party.<\/p>\n

According to Nana B, the former minister\u2019s statements undermine party unity and are unjustified, particularly considering his own record and benefits from the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe party is supreme in terms of its membership. Nobody is above the party. He is a senior party person who has benefited from the party. He has been a Minister of State under the NPP government before. Today, you turn around to make such disparaging and unfortunate remarks about the NPP. For me, if I had the powers, I would have expelled him long ago, but we have processes. That is why there is a recommendation before NEC. NEC will consider the expulsion of Prof Frimpong-Boateng,\u201d he said in an interview with Channel One.<\/p>\n

Nana B urged party members to pursue constructive engagement to rebuild unity, rather than airing grievances publicly.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the NPP, through its General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, described Prof Frimpong-Boateng\u2019s comments as \u201chighly reprehensible\u201d and inconsistent with the party\u2019s values, while also dismissing claims that the 2023 presidential primary was manipulated in favour of then Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.<\/p>\n

Although the party has confirmed that processes to expel him have begun, Prof Frimpong-Boateng maintains that he remains a member of the NPP and has declined invitations to appear before the National Executive Committee and the Disciplinary Committee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
