The immediate past Secretary General of the ruling New Patriotic Party, John Boadu, who lost his post barely five days ago to Justin Frimpong Koduah aka JFK in a hotly contested election held at the Accra Sports Stadium, has gone public since his defeat.

John Boadu did not come out with any statement to congratulate the winners as the other losers officially made public statements and also congratulated the newly elected executives.

Old-timers were at the party headquarters on Thursday to hold an official handover ceremony presided over by former national chairman Freddie Blay to new chairman Stephen Ntim and his senior staff, but John Boadu was also absent from the ceremony. .

It is not clear what prevented him from attending the handover meeting as the party's CEO.

Many party members, who expressed concern at his absence from the meeting, took to social media to say he was recovering from a shock defeat at the weekend.

John Boada's era as the Secretary General of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) finally came to an end when he lost his position to the CEO of the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), Justin Kodu Frimpong after a long day. stress.

Before the annual NPP delegates conference, Justin Kodua was tipped to be the winner of the election despite 15 out of 16 regional chairmen led by Ashanti Regional Chief Bernard Antwi Boasiako aka Wontumi openly supporting John Boada.

On the floor of the conference, there were indications that John Boadu was losing as delegates from the Ashanti Region World Bank party chanted "We need change".

John Boadu was pacing up and down looking very worried and trying his best to get sympathy votes from the delegates.

His campaigner, Chairman Wontumi, was shouted at by delegates from the Ashanti region when he went to vote for John Boadu.

Mr. Kodua, a lawyer, polled 2,857 votes to defeat John Boada who polled 2,524 votes out of 5,556 votes cast.
