Former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu, incumbent General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong and former Awutu Senya East MP Mavis Hawa Koomson have emerged as leading candidates in the party’s upcoming national executives election.
The findings are contained in a survey conducted by Africa Policy Lens (APL), which assessed the preferences of party executives ahead of the election.
The nationwide poll was conducted between July 13 and August 21, 2026. It reached 976 constituency and regional executives with voting rights, representing about 20 per cent of the total delegate population.
The organisation said the exercise was not based on a probability sample but sought to reach eligible executives.
John Boadu currently leads the race for National Chairman with 38.6 per cent of respondents. Boakye Agyarko follows with 20.7 per cent, while Paul Afoko recorded 5.9 per cent.
Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, had 3.2 per cent before reportedly dropping out of the contest. About 30.7 per cent of respondents remained undecided.
For General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong recorded a stronger lead with 61.4 per cent support. Sylvester Tetteh followed with 7.5 per cent, while Charles Dwamena and Eugene Boakye Antwi recorded 2.2 per cent and 1.9 per cent respectively.
Mavis Hawa Koomson also led the National Women’s Organiser contest. She secured 47.9 per cent among the 117 female respondents surveyed. Safia Mohammed followed with 11.1 per cent, while 38.5 per cent remained undecided.
Dennis Miracles Aboagye recorded the strongest lead in the survey, securing 76.5 per cent in the National Communications Director race.
Daniel Nii Kwartei Titus Glover led the National Organiser contest with 49.1 per cent.
Meanwhile, the National Vice Chairman, Treasurer, Youth Organiser and Nasara Organiser races remained more competitive, with significant numbers of delegates yet to decide on their preferred candidates.
APL concluded that some positions have clear frontrunners, while others remain open ahead of the election.
