‘Who’s in charge doesn’t really matter; we’re all servants’ – John Boadu on leader of NPP

Mr Boadu maintained that the effectiveness of a national chairman should be judged by how well the person performs the responsibilities of the office, rather than whether the chairman is formally recognised as the party’s leader.

Newly elected National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu, says the position of party chairman should not automatically come with the status of leader, arguing that all elected executives are servants entrusted with the responsibility of serving the party.

Mr Boadu said the NPP’s existing constitutional arrangement had served the party since 1992 and questioned the need to alter the leadership structure.
