Assin Fosu paramount chief blesses John Boadu's NPP Chairmanship bid

John Boadu launched his campaign on Saturday, 18th April 2026, by seeking the blessings of the Effutu Akwa Traditional Authority. Mr. Boadu stated, "Nana, it would be a great disrespect to hear on radio and television that your own grandson is traversing regions and entering various palaces without first coming here to seek your blessings." He also said, "I am here to formally inform you of my decision to contest for the National Chairmanship of our great party when nominations are opened and to ask for your guidance and prayers as I begin this journey."

Okumanini Baffour Asare Kyeahene II responded by saying, "John, you are a true son of the soil. What you have done today is honourable, and we shall remember you in our prayers as you take this bold step. Our people are known for courage and excellence; go higher." The Paramount Chief also urged Mr. Boadu to maintain a clean campaign focused on his vision for the party. Mr. Boadu argued that his trajectory from the polling station level to the national secretariat has uniquely prepared him to lead.

The delegation that accompanied Mr. Boadu included Mr, Maxwell Kofi Jumah, Mr. Richard Takyi Mensah, Mrs. Charlotte Adwoa Antwi, Mr. Kingsley Adumattah Agyapong, and Mr. Attakora Amaniampong. The "John Boadu for National Chairman" tour is gaining momentum.
