Mr. Justin Kodua Frimpong, the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called on party leaders at national, regional, and constituency levels to refrain from publicly declaring support for any of the four candidates vying for the party's flagbearer position.
In an interview on Wontumi Radio, Mr. Kodua Frimpong reasoned that it would be challenging to mend relationships if a leader publicly supports a candidate who ultimately does not win. While he acknowledged that there is no harm in supporting a candidate, he emphasized the potential complications that may arise when providing advice to another candidate after having publicly endorsed someone.
Mr. Kodua Frimpong revealed that he has adopted this approach, which is why, unlike other party executives, he was not accused of favouring a specific candidate by Alan Kyerematen when Kyerematen announced his departure from the party.
Frimpong stated that he is focused on the broader goal of securing victory in the 2024 elections, and therefore, he opts not to publicly endorse any candidate.
The contest for the NPP's flagbearer position features four contenders: Dr. Mahamudud Bawumia, Mr. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, and Francis Addai-Nimoh.
The NPP has scheduled November 4, 2023, as the date to elect a successor to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as the leader of the party.

Joe! If he resigned he gone. He’s not only the candidate, there’s 5 candidates. Non of them is a winner till the end of final election. He knows that he can’t win that’s why he resigned from NPP. If he knows that he will win he would not resign. But it’s too late for the general secretary to out now.
Kodua Frimpong paaaaa, were you sleeping all these months when people who should know better were all over the place openly declaring their support for some of the candidates? As the general secretary you need to be firm, when NPP was NPP , the general secretary was the face of the party. Remember people will compare you with Late dynamic Agyenim Boateng, Dan Botwe, Nana Ohene Ntow, Kwabena Agyapong, Late Kwodwo Owusu Afriyie ( Sir John), John Boadu. 2024 is a test case for you. So step up your game. Your caution is coming rather too late. You are putting shea butter oil into cooked beans that have gone cold, the oil can't melt. If you want shea butter oil to melt in cooked beans, you but it in the cooked beans when it's still hot.
Hypocrite why didn't you address his concerns and waited till he resigned.
too late
