Obiri Boahen Quits NPP, Decides To Contest 2024 As Independent Candidate

The former deputy general secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Obiri Boahen,’s decision has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, as he has been a steadfast member of the NPP for many years.

He a seasoned politician, is widely recognized for his contributions to the NPP and his roles in various government positions.

The source claims that his decision came about as a result of his elimination from the manifesto committee and campaign team of NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

Dr. Bawumia was endorsed by the Private Legal Practitioner, who started supporting him well in advance of his election on November 4, 2023, as the NPP flagbearer.

“I should have been named the campaign manager since I started my campaign in 2021,” he declared.
