Eugene Boakye Antwi
An overwhelming majority of New Patriotic Party (NPP) delegates expect Eugene Boakye Antwi to win the party’s National General Secretary election slated for October 3, 2026.
This is contained in a research conducted by lecturers of the University of Ghana, Legon, led by Dr. Chris Atadika on the NPP National General Secretary race.
According to the findings, when respondents were asked: “Which candidate do you think will win the General Secretary position come 3rd October?”, 74.2% (657 out of 889 respondents) tipped Eugene Boakye Antwi to win.
Incumbent General Secretary, Justin Frimpong Kodua, was tipped by 25.1% (223 respondents) to win, while Sylvester Tetteh was tipped by 0.7% (6 respondents).
The report summarised: “Among the respondents represented in the supplied data, 73.90% identified Eugene Boakye when asked which candidate they thought would win the General Secretary position on 3rd October.
“Justin Frimpong Kodua accounted for 25.09%, while Sylvester Tetteh accounted for 0.67%. These figures represent the expectations expressed by the surveyed respondents and should not be presented as an independent prediction of the election outcome.”
The research also shows Boakye Antwi leads on other key indicators: Most Preferred Candidate: Eugene Boakye Antwi – 76.6%, Justin Frimpong Kodua – 23.1%; Candidate Who Can Help Party Win 2028: Eugene Boakye Antwi – 60.1%, Justin Frimpong Kodua – 39.2%; Name Recognition: 82.7% of delegates mentioned Eugene Boakye Antwi when asked to name those vying for the position, compared to 13% for Justin Frimpong Kodua.
The respondents identified good communication skills and boldness (14.3%), ability to ensure victory in 2028 (11.3%) and ability to unify the party (9.7%) as the top characteristics needed for the position – qualities many respondents associate with the former Subin Member of Parliament.
The study was conducted among 889 NPP stakeholders with 100% awareness of the General Secretary race.
