The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has initiated formal processes to expel former Minister for Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, following remarks he made in a television interview criticising the party and questioning its internal democratic processes.

In a statement signed by the NPP’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, the party said it had taken “due notice” of comments made by Prof Frimpong-Boateng during an interview on Channel One TV on Monday, January 12, 2026. During the interview, the former minister reportedly described the NPP as “fake” and indicated that he no longer considers himself a member of the party.
