Supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have jubilated over the defeat of the incumbent General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr John Boadu at the NPP national executive officers election held in Accra on Saturday July 16, 2022.
They described the new General Secretary-elect of the NPP, Lawyer Justine Koduah Frimpong popularly known as JFK as a national asset and saying that they believed strongly that his coming to head the NPP national officers would help to change the loose talks in the country's political airways
"Congratulations to the New General Secretary of the NPP, JFK and all other new officers of the NPP," the NDC supporters in Ashaiman, Volta, Central, Eastern and Oti Regions told Soureenews.com in an interview.
"It good that John Boadu has lost this crucial election, because we, in the NDC are expecting that he should be defeated and that the delegates had listening to our call. John Boadu talked any how which is not only disgrace to the NPP but to the whole country," the NDC supporters noted.
A leading member of the NPP, Lawyer, Justine Koduah Frimpong popularly known as JFK was, at exactly 12:06am on Sunday July 16, 2022, elected General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), by over 6,000 4,384 that attended the party's historic mammoth conference at the Accra Sports Stadium.
He polled 1,606 of the valid votes cast to edge out his closest rival who in the incumbent General Secretary of the NPP, M r John Boadu, who had 1,086 votes to place second, at the congress.
Bookmakers had predicted a close contest and the election lived up to its pre-conference billing, as the other contestants trailed behind with paltry votes.
JFK had pledged, in his short address to the delegates prior to the start of voting, to lead the party to retain in power in 20224 if given the nod, and his wishes were granted as he won the majority of votes cast to beat Mr Boadu.
He vowed to lead the party to recapture political power in the 2024 elections, calling for an end to complaints and bickering in the party.
There were spontaneous wild jubilations at the filled-to-capacity VIP section of the stadium immediately the Electoral Commissioner announced the results of the hotly-contested polls.
Clad in party colours, delegates at the stadium were seen dancing together amid chants that 'NPP had shamed its enemies'.
This made it extremely difficult for people to clearly mark out supporters of the winners and losers in the trouble-free polls, since everyone seemed to have jumped into the victory mood.
However, a visible black spot in the highly successful elections was John Boadu's early exit from the Stadium which made it impossible for him to give his solidarity message to the winner when he was called upon to do so.
In attendance were party gurus drawn from various corners of the country; prominent among whom President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Vice President Alhaji Mahamadu Bawumia and Alan Kyerematen, two leading contestants in the party's flagbearership race,
Members of the diplomatic corps were not left out, just as representatives of other political parties.
Founding fathers of the party, sitting and past Members of Parliament (MPs) as well as other prominent leading members of the NPP also attended the programme in their numbers.
In all, 32 staunch party persons vied for eight vacant national positions to steer the affairs of the NPP in the next four years in an election which lasted eight hours.

As if by design, one significant aspect of the elections which could go a long way to deepen the party's peace and unity, needed for victory in 2022, was that almost all the 16 regions of the country were represented in the NPP national executive.
The programme, which started as early as 6:00am, was organized under tight security, as armed police and army personnel made sure that everyone acted in line with the laid-down rules, with every single accreditation badge being inspected.
The police also acted professionally and were very polite most of the time, while ensuring peace and order.
The programme was climaxed with singing and dancing of party tunes as the tartan tracks area of the stadium was covered with the red, blue and white colours of the NPP by the over-joyous party supporters, some of whom danced till about 3:00am before leaving the venue for their various destinations.
