Former Subin MP and ex-Deputy Minister, Mr. Eugene Boakye Antwi, is emerging as a key figure in what could become a major leadership reshuffle within the New Patriotic Party (NPP), as he signals strong intentions to contest for the General Secretary position ahead of the party’s next internal elections.
Speaking to the media in Accra, Mr. Boakye Antwi did not mince words about the need for urgent reforms within the NPP, emphasizing that the party must modernize its operations to remain electorally competitive. “The NPP must be transformed into a governing institution—one that is built on TECHNOLOGY, TRANSPARENCY, and ORGANIZATIONAL EFFICIENCY,” he declared.
While stopping short of a formal announcement, his response to questions about his candidacy was telling: “When the time is up, I will surely contest.”
Beyond internal ambition, Boakye Antwi painted a broader vision of party renewal, calling for a renewed culture of unity and discipline. He urged party members to rally around a shared goal, cautioning that internal rivalries were undermining the NPP’s chances ahead of the 2028 general elections. “We have one common enemy and it’s not each other,” he said. “Victory 2028 begins with a UNITED NPP today.”
His remarks are already generating buzz among the party’s grassroots base and some senior members, who view him as a pragmatic leader with deep institutional knowledge and a firm grasp on both national policy and party affairs.
As speculation grows around who will shape the NPP’s future direction, Eugene Boakye Antwi’s looming candidacy suggests a campaign rooted not just in ambition—but in a strategic reset that could redefine how the party governs and organizes ahead of the next political cycle.
