The Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Haruna Mohammed, has confirmed that he will support the party’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, should he seek re-election at the national level.
Speaking on Channel One Newsroom, Haruna clarified that he will not contest the deputy position, noting that it is not independently elective under the party’s constitution. He added that his tenure as Deputy General Secretary is tied to the outcome of the General Secretary race.
“I am not contesting; my position is not a contestable position until it is amended. But my boss will contest, and I will support my boss, Lawyer Justin Kodua Frimpong. When he wins, you will see me continue as Deputy General Secretary,” he stated.
The NPP recently announced that its national executive elections will be held from 18 to 20 September 2026 as part of the broader timetable for internal elections.
According to Mr. Frimpong, nominations for national positions will open from 10 to 14 August, with filing expected between 15 and 17 August. Vetting of aspirants is scheduled for 20 to 23 August, with the vetting report to be released on 25 August. Appeals will be heard on 28 and 29 August ahead of the national elections in September.
