A contender for the National Chairman position of the New Patriotic Party, Stephen Asamoah Boateng (Asabee) has alleged that his opponents are bribing delegates.

According to him, he knows those who are engaging in the illegality but will not mention names.

“I know them, they also know themselves so I will not mention names,” he stated. Asabee disclosed that he has given the delegates money to cater for their travel and transport (T&T). “I only gave them T&T three times-150, 150 and 100,” he said.He urged the delegates not to be swayed by the money being given to them, “Please stay focused. Remember 2024, you need a chairman that is focused” Asabee advised.

The distribution of funds to delegate voters at the recently concluded New Patriotic Party Delegates Conference in Accra had no effect on voters, who rejected John Boadu and his boy, Fuseini Abanga. On the youth front, Abanga, who was tipped as the favourite ahead of Salam Mustapha due to his lavish spending jamboree, was defeated by more than 60 votes. At the end of the day, Salam was elected National Youth Organizer of the New Patriotic Party, polling 255 votes to Abanga's 191.

 Justin Kodua defeated John Boadu by over 300 votes, garnering over 2800 votes to John Boadu's over 2500 votes and heavy spending. According to sources, John Boadu allegedly shared thousands of cedis with delegates at the last minute in the hope of tipping the scales in his favour, but failed, whereas his boy Fuseini Abanga had been spending since the day he entered the youth contest. The pundits say Mr. Asamoah Boateng is in a two horse race with Mr. Stephen Ntim for the chairmanship of the party.

The party delegates hooted at him and Chairman Wontumi at the Accra conference venue, indicating his defeat. Among the reasons for the defeat are arrogance, a selective campaign, and a failure to assist the party's grassroots, among others. Many party members stated that they only witnessed John Boadu's humility at the conference venue. They had previously perceived him as arrogant and unapproachable. Party functionaries, including Members of Parliament and constituency executives, complain that John Boadu does not even pick up the phone or respond to messages.

Mr. Abanga made mining a central theme of his youth campaign, promising to introduce the youth to community mining while allegedly giving delegates GHC1000, GHC2000, and even GHC5000. According to reports, party members and delegates attributed John Boadu's defeat to a variety of factors, including his lack of respect for the party grassroots and his mafia tactics, among others.

At a time he refused to pick up party members' calls, it was annoying for Delegates that Afia Schwarzenegger had easy access to him than them. Afia said she called him when her beef with Wontumi started to ask him if he was not there when Wontumi offered her a job.
