It is unfair, politically unwise to mock John Boadu - NPP 1st vice chair

The First Vice Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has asked persons mocking John Boadu for losing the general secretary position of the party to stop doing so.

According to Danquah Smith, it is unhealthy, unwise, and politically incorrect for anyone to mock the hardworking and committed former general secretary of the great elephant family.

Speaking on Frontline on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm, he said although John Boadu lost, he has expressed interest in supporting current leadership in achieving the goal of breaking the 8-year-jinx.

He posited that it is not a big deal for anyone to lose an election because an election has two outcomes, and it is either you win or lose.

"I don't know why people are making a mockery of John Boadu. Going into an election has only two outcomes. You either win, or you lose. John Boadu knew this. He knew there was the possibility of a victory and defeat. He competed and knew it would be either black or white. He is not the only person who lost the general secretary position of the NPP," he said.

"He had not declared any intention to leave the party. He is ever prepared to work for the party. He has assured the new executives of his preparedness to support us. As a former general secretary, he is part of us and can participate in everything," Smith added.

He stressed the need for people to stop the mockery since it was not the best.

Also, Smith said he is optimistic the NPP will win the 2024 polls because the party has shown leadership despite the challenges confronting us.

He added that the NPP has what it takes to maintain a stable economy and transform the country.
