Former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu, has revealed how he prevented his uncle from contesting the Assin Central parliamentary seat against Kennedy Agyapong in the party's internal election.

According to John Boadu, who was the NPP General Secretary at the time, he considered Kennedy Agyapong's chances of winning the election and aimed to prevent any internal rift that might arise from his family member's decision to contest him.

As a result, he disqualified his uncle from the race.

Speaking on the principle of neutrality in party leadership, Boadu explained that most decisions taken by party leaders are based on merit and the greater good of the party, rather than personal or financial interests.
