A political storm is brewing! Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, the former Minister of Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation, is locked in a fierce battle with the New Patriotic Party (NPP). He's not just disagreeing; he's firing back, and the situation is quickly escalating. This is the kind of drama that keeps political observers on the edge of their seats.
In a candid interview on Asempa FM's Ekoosisen on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, Professor Frimpong-Boateng didn't mince words. He declared that the NPP leaders initiating disciplinary actions against him are the ones who should be leaving the party, not him. "They are the fake ones," he asserted, "they should go away and the true party will stand."
He dismissed the National Executive Committee's (NEC) moves as a "needless distraction," making it clear he won't be attending any committee meetings to address the allegations. This signals a complete breakdown in his relationship with the party's leadership. He added that he hadn't even received any official communication from the party, calling the whole situation "funny."
Professor Frimpong-Boateng's frustration stems from what he sees as the party's decline, which he attributes to leadership's abuse of power and corruption. He lamented the destruction of the party he helped build, citing the recent electoral defeat as proof of failed leadership. He didn't hold back: "They are destroying the party," he stated, concluding with a defiant "to hell with them."
He emphasized that the party's interests should always come first, warning that internal issues and a lack of discipline could further weaken the NPP.
But here's where it gets controversial... The NPP has formally initiated the process to expel Professor Frimpong-Boateng. The reason? His public statements describing the NPP as a "fake party" and declaring he's no longer a member. He also alleged that the party's 2023 Presidential Primary was manipulated to favor Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the party’s presidential candidate for the 2024 general elections.
In a statement dated January 13, 2026, and signed by General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong, the party condemned Professor Frimpong-Boateng’s remarks as "highly reprehensible and inimical to the values, unity, and integrity of the Party." The party is now following its constitution to expel him, ensuring due process.
And this is the part most people miss... The core issue here is not just about individual actions but the future direction of the NPP. Professor Frimpong-Boateng's comments raise fundamental questions about leadership, integrity, and the party's ability to maintain its core values. Could this be a sign of deeper divisions within the party? What do you think about Professor Frimpong-Boateng's claims?
