The Young Executive Forum has congratulated Alfred Kojo Thompson on his election as National Treasurer of the New Patriotic Party, according to Graphic Online. In a message released on behalf of its Executive Council, Fellows and members, the Forum said it is confident he can help tighten the party's financial management and accountability.
The group also extended its congratulations to the NPP's newly elected national executives, who are led by Chairman John Boadu, and wished them well in their new roles. Graphic Online reported the statement on Sunday, 18 October 2026.
Why it matters
The treasurer's office sits at the centre of how a party raises, records and spends money, and the Forum framed the post as one that demands a firm commitment to financial responsibility and accountability. Its endorsement signals early backing for Mr Thompson from within the party's wider support base as the new executive team settles in.
The Forum also presented his win as more than a personal achievement. It called the election a significant milestone and said it should inspire Forum members and party supporters, especially younger people who want to contribute to public service and national development.
A vote of confidence from the Forum
In its message, the Young Executive Forum said the delegates' decision reflected the trust they place in Mr Thompson's loyalty, integrity, leadership and dedication to both the party and Ghana. According to Graphic Online, the Forum argued that he has shown leadership, sound judgment, patriotism and a strong sense of responsibility over the years, qualities it said have earned him respect and trust across the political divide.
The group said it expects him to carry the same commitment, diligence and vision that marked his work within the Forum into his national assignment. It described his new role as one that will require him to champion financial discipline, and said his leadership will matter in shoring up the party's finances and advancing its mission, values and political goals.
The Forum pledged its full support to Mr Thompson and said it stands ready to work with him on efforts aimed at sound policies, democratic development and Ghana's progress and prosperity. It closed by wishing him wisdom, strength and success, expressing the hope that his time in office will be marked by excellence, innovation and service that leaves a mark.
What to watch
The coming months will show how the new NPP national executive, with Mr Thompson as treasurer and John Boadu as chairman, approaches the party's financial affairs and internal coordination.
