NPP’s choice of Kojo Bamba, is a rejection of ‘suit and big English’ – Mustapha Gbande

The election of Kwadwo Fosu Boadu, popularly known as Kojo Bamba, as First Vice Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) reflects the grassroots’ rejection of what the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Deputy General Secretary in charge of Operations, Mustapha Gbande, describes as “suit and big English” politics.

Mr Gbande, however, raised concerns about Bamba’s election because of his reported association with the NPP’s Delta Force, arguing that the development could raise questions about the party’s position on political vigilantism.

Mr Gbande said the outcome of the NPP’s recent national executive elections demonstrates the preference of the party’s grassroots for leaders with strong connections to the base.
