National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu, led the newly elected national executive committee on a courtesy call to former President John Agyekum Kufuor on October 8, 2026. The visit served as a formal introduction of the new leadership team to the elder statesman and an opportunity to seek his guidance as they begin their tenure. The executives expressed humility in their roles and acknowledged the importance of drawing on the experience of the party's founding members.

During the meeting, Boadu highlighted the significance of Kufuor’s political history and his deep understanding of the party’s organizational roots. He emphasized that the leadership is committed to strengthening the NPP's internal structures and fostering unity across all levels of the party. The Chairman noted that the executives are dedicated to building on the foundation laid by past leaders to ensure the party remains a formidable force in Ghanaian politics and secures victory in the 2028 general elections.

Following the party's national executive elections, where Boadu secured the chairmanship with 2,888 votes against Boakye Agyarko's 2,408 votes, the new leadership has prioritized reconciliation. Boadu shared that he has been actively trying to reach out to Mr. Agyarko and has already engaged in discussions with other prominent party figures, including Sammy Crabbe and Paul Afoko. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to unify the party after the internal contest.

The visit to the former President's residence underscores the NPP’s tradition of consulting its senior leaders during transitions in administration. By seeking the counsel of former President Kufuor, the John Boadu-led executive team aims to reinforce the party's core values and strategic direction. The meeting concluded with the executives reaffirming their commitment to a cohesive party structure capable of responding to the needs of the electorate in the coming years.
