According to the statement, signed by the general secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, the NPP said Prof Frimpong-Boateng made a disparaging remark about the party, alleging that its leadership rigged the 2023 flagbearer election.
Consequently, the NPP says it has rejected the claims and allegations made by the former minister.
“The party unequivocally rejects Professor Frimpong-Boateng’s unfounded characterisation of the NPP and firmly denies his baseless and unsubstantiated allegations regarding the conduct of the 2023 presidential primary,” the statement read.
“The said primary has been widely acknowledged by all candidates who participated, as well as by well-meaning members of the party, as having been conducted in a free, transparent, and credible manner, faithfully reflecting the will of the party delegates,” the NPP further stated.
The New Patriotic Party further said it views the conduct and utterances of Prof Frimpong-Boateng as highly reprehensible and inimical to the values, unity, and integrity of the party.
“Consequently, the party has invoked the relevant provisions of its constitution to commence the necessary processes to expel him from the party, strictly in accordance with due process,” it added.
