Stay and fight for the course of NPP - Eric Yeboah to Amoako Baah

Eric Nartey Yeboah, known as Chairman Dollar, is the Greater Accra Regional Second Vice Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). He has urged former party member Dr. Richard Amoako Baah to rethink his decision to leave the NPP. Dr. Amoako Baah plans to form a new political movement.

In a media interview, Mr. Yeboah stressed that experienced members like Dr. Amoako Baah are vital for reforming the NPP. He called the decision to create a rival party unfortunate and misguided.

“Dr. Amoako Baah is highly intelligent and experienced,” Mr. Yeboah said. “Leaving the party now is like fleeing your home during a robbery instead of fighting back.”

Dr. Amoako Baah recently launched his new political movement, called the New Patriotic Front (NPF). At a press conference in Accra, he criticized the current NPP leadership under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

He accused them of betraying the Danquah-Busia-Dombo tradition. “The NPP we believed in has been ruined by arrogance and corruption,” he stated.

“It’s no longer about principles but personal gain.” He promised that the New Patriotic Front would offer Ghanaians an honest alternative focused on accountability and public service.

In response, Chairman Dollar compared Dr. Amoako Baah’s departure to abandoning past heroes like Dr. Kofi Abrefa Busia. These leaders stayed within the party and worked through challenges.

“I urge him to consider our shared history,” Mr. Yeboah said. “The NPP isn’t perfect, but it needs its best minds to face its issues—not create division.”

This public split has sparked discussions about internal democracy and leadership accountability within the NPP as they approach the 2028 general elections.
