Newly-Elected General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party Lawyer Justin Frimpong Kodua says he will not endorse any candidate or person seeking to be flagbearer of the party for the next elections.
Additionally, he says, he will equally table a proposal before the national executive committee of the party to prevent other executives from polling station to national from doing same.
Speaking on Okay Fm's Ade Akye Abia programme, the new scribe of the New Patriotic Party stress the need why the party needs to remain united in for their resolve to break the 8.
"In as much as we all have candidates we may support one way or the other for the flagbearership of the party, this is not the time to publicly come out and endorse the candidate. We need everyone on board to be able to secure victory for the party in 2024.
"Coming out to publicly endorse persons or candidates who desire to lead the party will rather create division and apathy within party which will eventually create or impede the party's success in the 2024 general elections," he stated.
Whiles commending the previous national executives, he indicated his willingness to solicit ideas from these past executives and work with them for the good of the party.
The NPP scribe further added that the confidence reposed in him by the delegates is indicative of the need to rally the support of each and everyone to be able to succeed.
“Under my watch, I will be fair but firm and make sure that party rules will work, there will be discipline in our party...there will be discipline in NPP, we are going to apply the constitution of NPP to the fullest without fear or favour, under my watch the party will not make a directive and people will go contrary to the directive,” JFK assured.
"With this i'm sure the party continue to live its old glorious times and be able to break the 8 and serve Ghanaians better," he added.

I would only advise JFK to be resolute, selfless, and stick to his determination, no matter how rough the journey would be.
Well said , you have heard a lot of what brought John Boadu to his knees, just do the direct opposite of what John Boadu was doing and you will succeed. The times are changing and the people now know power is in their hands, people are aware the president doesn't have power on his own, he's holding the power in trust for the people and when you are seeing to be abusing the power or you are not up to the task, the very people who put you there will take their power back. I will also urge you ask for old party folks who have been with the party since 1992 but currently neglected and forgotten, visit those who are bedridden when you go to any of the regions. The rank and file of the party in these areas know them. Don't ask any regional minister or MMDCE to invite party elders to meet with you. There are little little things the appointees can do to make the NPP attractive. If a minister or MMDCE pays a surprise visit to some party elders at home, can you imagine the good image it will carry. During president kufour's regime he met with party elders when ever he visited any region. He could ask for some particular party people he knew during the campaign, can you imagine how an ordinary NPP supporter will feel to hear that the president has asked of him or her? This is the difference between the NDC and NPP , the more reason why NPP has difficulty making an impact in poor communities, the leaders feel too big. Frimpong Kodua has a lot in his hands. Let people see the difference between you and defeated and disgraced John Boadu. What you sow is what you reap. You have Dan Botwe, Nana Ohene Ntow and Kwabena Agyapong all past general secretaries to learn fast from them. 7 years of arrogance, 5 hours for thy kingdom to fall, very easy
