The present NPP is not the NPP I used to know, It’s fake – Professor Frimpong-Boateng

Former Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, has said that the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has two branches, which he calls “fake” and “real.”

He added that he no longer considers himself part of the “fake” NPP.

Speaking in an interview on Channel One TV on January 12, 2026, Professor Frimpong-Boateng said the party’s current way of handling affairs amounts to corruption.

He cited the last NPP presidential primaries, which elected a flagbearer to lead the party in the 2024 general elections, as an example. He made several allegations about the process, which he claims were inappropriate.

“The present NPP is not the NPP I used to know. It’s fake. What I see now is not the party I knew,” he said.

When asked if he still considers himself part of the party, he responded, “Not the fake one. The real one is there it’s virtual and the members are there in the background.”

He further explained, “Look at how they elected their last flagbearer. They twisted the arms of the weak… bribed delegates and intimidated others to secure the flagbearer. This was for the 2024 election. This is the beginning of corruption and it should not be allowed in any serious situation or in any serious party.

“And there were issues we lost the elections badly and we did not address the problems that led to the losses.”…CONTINUE MORE READING>>>
