Justin Frimpong Kodua

Justin Frimpong Kodua, often styled Justin Kodua Frimpong, is a Ghanaian lawyer and politician who serves as the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party, one of Ghana's two major political parties. Born on 14 November 1982 in Kumasi, he rose rapidly through the party's youth structures to occupy one of its most powerful administrative offices.

Kodua was educated at Opoku Ware Secondary School in Kumasi before travelling to London, where he studied for a City and Guilds certificate in information and communications technology at Hackney Community College. He later trained as a lawyer, adding legal credentials to his political and administrative experience, a combination that has informed his work as a party organiser and public figure.

His political involvement began at the regional level within the NPP's youth wing. He was part of the Ashanti Regional Campaign team in the 2008 election, became deputy Ashanti Regional Youth Organiser in 2010, and in 2018 was elected Ashanti Regional Youth Organiser, building a base within the party's grassroots. Before rising to the party's top administrative post he served as chief executive officer of the Youth Employment Agency, where he reported overseeing the creation of a large number of jobs for young people during his tenure.

In 2022 Kodua contested and won the position of General Secretary at the NPP's national delegates conference, becoming the party's chief administrator and one of its most prominent national officers. In that role he has been responsible for the day-to-day management of party affairs, coordination of campaigns and communication of the party's positions, functions that placed him at the centre of the NPP's operations through a demanding electoral period.

Re-election

After the NPP's defeat in the 2024 elections, Kodua sought a second term, and on 3 October 2026 delegates at the National Delegates Conference in Kumasi re-elected him with 4,486 votes, far ahead of former Ngleshie Amanfro MP Sylvester Tetteh with 1,340. He now works under National Chairman John Boadu, the man he beat for General Secretary in 2022, and said after the vote that he had "no issue" with Boadu and that the two would work together.
