John Boadu, the former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is out with reasons why he should be elected the Party’s chairman for 2028.
“I am the longest-serving Party officer with over 30 years of dedicated service to our great Party. I have worked at all levels – Polling station Chairman (1996-1998), Constituency Secretary (1998), Greater Accra Regional Research officer (2002-2003), Director of Finance (2002-2005) National Youth Treasurer (2003-2005), National Youth Organiser (2005-2010), National Deputy Communication Director (2010-2014), National Organiser (2014-2018), Ag. General Secretary (2015-2018) and General Secretary (2018-2022). I am one of the longest-serving members of NEC and National Council in the history of our Party. These experiences are not just years counted – they are years of sacrifice, learning and winning. This moment in our Party’s history is not a time for experiments.
As our party members, the only true way to restore their hope, their confidence, and their future is for the NPP to win back power again. Only through victory can we rebuild opportunities for our people and secure the dignity of Ghanaians. These realities demonstrate that the NPP cannot afford to stay in opposition for long. But amidst these challenges, I passionately believe, there is hope for restoration not rhetorics. And that hope rests in a leader with a proven track record, tested experience and the unmatched ability to deliver results- just as it is written in Psalm 89:20, “I have found David my servant; with my sacred oil I have anointed him,” and in Isaiah 58:12-13, “Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations, you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of streets with dwellings” So shall I become for our great Party- through a servant who has been tried, tested and anointed to rebuild and restore the NPP to victory.
The highest number of votes ever achieved in Ghana’s political history, 6.7 million votes in 2020, was achieved under my watch as General Secretary and Director of Operations.
The two highest number of votes ever achieved in NPP’s history are 2016;5.7million votes and 2020; 6.7million votes. These were achieved by John Boadu as the Director of Operations and General Secretary.
The two highest number of parliamentary seats ever won by the NPP since 1992 was in 2016, 169 seats and 137seats in 2020 under my tenure.
The two highest electoral margins ever recorded by the NPP – in 2016 (985,000 votes) and 2020 (517,000 votes) – were achieved under my operational leadership.
Under my tenure as General Secretary, the NPP became the first political party in Africa to collate its own election results in record time – within 18hours in 2016 and just 6hours in 2020- an achievement realized under my leadership.
The Pink Sheet Tracking System, a groundbreaking electoral innovation in Ghana’s Politics, was pioneered by me.
And for the first time in our Party’s history, monthly subventions were sent to every constituency and region, a reform I personally initiated and implemented.
These achievements are not coincidences; they are the results of hardwork, experience, dedication, and tested leadership.”
