The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, has finally broken his silence on what he says is the real reason the party lost the Akwatia parliamentary seat — and his revelations are shaking the NPP to its core.Speaking with rare candor, Kodua admitted he could no longer keep the truth bottled up. “I can’t hide it anymore,” he declared, before laying bare a series of internal betrayals, arrogance, and poor strategy that, according to him, cost the party dearly in Akwatia.
He revealed that internal divisions and sabotage within the party’s own ranks fatally undermined the campaign.
Instead of rallying behind the chosen candidate, key party figures were working against one another, leaving the grassroots disillusioned. “We lost Akwatia not because NDC was stronger, but because NPP failed itself,” Kodua said sharply.
Kodua also pointed to poor candidate selection and arrogance of leadership, saying the party ignored the voice of the ordinary delegates and imposed choices from above. The result, he claimed, was anger, apathy, and silent protest votes that handed victory to the opposition.
Community insiders back his claims, noting that during the campaign, NPP supporters were visibly divided, while the NDC capitalized on the confusion to energize their base. For many locals, the loss was a sign that the NPP had taken Akwatia for granted.
Kodua’s blunt revelations are already sparking serious debate inside the NPP.
Grassroots members feel vindicated, insisting they had warned about these very issues but were ignored by the party hierarchy. Analysts, meanwhile, warn that unless the NPP urgently addresses these internal wounds, similar defeats could multiply in 2028.
For now, one thing is certain: the Akwatia loss was not just about votes. It was about betrayal, arrogance, and broken unity — and Justin Kodua has torn the lid off the cover-up.
