• Boakye Antwi revealed that JFK had approached him in 2022 seeking support to remove the then General Secretary for underperformance
• Under JFK's watch, the NPP's parliamentary seats dropped from 137 to just 88, Eugene Boakye stressed that is the party's worst result since 1996

A senior member of the New Patriotic Party has gone public with a sharp rebuke of the party's General Secretary, Justin Frimpong Kodua, accusing him of presiding over the worst parliamentary performance in the NPP's history.

Eugene Boakye Antwi, a former Subin MP and aspiring New Patriotic Party (NPP) General Secretary, Eugene Boakye Antwi, made the remarks in a video shared by tinanewsgh on August 25, 2026.

In the footage, the lawmaker laid out a case against Frimpong Kodua, widely known as JFK, citing a dramatic collapse in the party's seat count in Parliament.

Boakye Antwi's case against Justin Frimpong Kodua

According to Boakye Antwi, from 1996 to 2024, the NPP had never fallen to 32 per cent of parliamentary seats.

Under JFK's tenure as General Secretary, however, the party's representation plummeted from 137 seats to just 88, a figure he described as the worst showing in the party's parliamentary history.

The MP did not stop at the statistics. He also shared that JFK had personally approached him back in 2022, reportedly seeking his backing to push out the General Secretary at the time, arguing that the official was underperforming.

Boakye Antwi used that very logic to turn the tables on JFK, suggesting that by the same standard the current General Secretary should face the same consequences for the party's sharp electoral decline.

The remarks carry particular weight given Boakye Antwi's standing within the party and his direct knowledge of internal discussions.
