General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong, has urged members of Kennedy Agyapong’s campaign team to follow the party’s official procedures before demanding disciplinary action against party executives.
His comments follow calls from Agyapong’s campaign team for immediate sanctions against Ashanti Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako (Wontumi) and Bono Regional Chairman Kwame Baffoe (Abronye DC) over alleged remarks suggesting that the party’s electoral roll and processes were being manipulated to favour a particular candidate ahead of the January 2026 presidential primaries.
Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Mr. Frimpong said he had not received any formal complaint regarding the matter and only became aware of the allegations through social media.

“Personally, no one has brought this release or notice to my attention. I only saw it on social media, just like anyone else,” he explained.
While acknowledging the concerns raised by Kennedy Agyapong’s campaign spokesperson, Kwasi Kwarteng, the NPP General Secretary stressed the importance of adhering to the party’s constitution before taking any disciplinary measures.
“I was expecting that when he referred, he should have read Article 4, which talks about discipline and grievance procedures. Our party is not one where you wake up and suspend anyone like that,” he said.
Mr. Frimpong explained that the correct process begins with the lodging of a formal complaint, after which disciplinary structures can be activated.
“If someone does something you believe goes against party laws, the first step is to lodge a complaint. My question to Kwasi Kwarteng is: has he or anyone lodged a complaint against Wontumi or Abronye? That’s what some party members don’t seem to understand,” he noted.
He further clarified that without such a complaint, he has no legal authority to act.
“If we are working with the laws, then you have to go according to what our laws say. As it stands now, no complaints have come to my table. If a petition comes and I don’t act on it, then you can blame me. But until then, I cannot do anything,” Mr. Frimpong concluded.
