NPP denies sacking Keving Taylor
The forged statement, which bore a falsified signature of the General Secretary, claimed that US-based broadcaster Kevin Taylor and Rev. Ernest Owusu Bempah had been sacked with immediate effect. It is alleged that the two had brought the party into disrepute through public attacks and behaviour inconsistent with the party's integrity.
However, Kodua dismissed the claims in no uncertain terms:
"This document is FAKE and did not originate from the New Patriotic Party (NPP). Kindly disregard this misinformation. The NPP remains focused, united, and committed," he posted, accompanied by an image of the letter stamped "FAKE".
The appearance of the fake letter follows a period of heightened tension within the party. Kevin Taylor recently sparked nationwide outrage after directing verbal attacks at former President John Agyekum Kufuor, calling the 87-year-old statesman "lazy"—a comment the NPP officially condemned as a "desecration".
In a subsequent broadcast on May 12, 2026, a defiant Taylor responded to the sacking rumours by challenging party executives to dare him, threatening to bankrupt the party through legal action if they dared to strike his name from the membership rolls.
