A leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Yaw Adomako Baafi, has made a startling revelation about the party’s former Director of Communications at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin, accusing him of arrogance and disregard for party members.
In a recent interview on Wontumi TV, which has since gone viral, Adomako Baafi claimed that he had attempted to contact Eugene Arhin for five years without ever receiving a response. He described Arhin’s attitude as dismissive and detrimental to the party, alleging that his conduct contributed to the NPP’s heavy defeat in the 2024 elections.
“I called him for the entire five years continuously, and he never answered. People reported his behavior several times to President Akufo-Addo, but he never listened to them,” Adomako Baafi revealed.
He further alleged that under Arhin’s tenure, party communication deteriorated significantly, leading to a disconnect between the Presidency and the party’s grassroots. According to him, this lack of engagement frustrated many party members and weakened the NPP’s public relations strategy.
Adomako Baafi also compared Eugene Arhin unfavorably to the current Director of Communications at the Presidency, Felix Ofosu Kwakye, asserting that the latter is more effective in handling communications and party relations.
He went on to claim that even President Nana Akufo-Addo’s travels were kept secret from key party members, a move that he believes reflected a broader lack of transparency within the Presidency. He argued that Eugene Arhin’s handling of the media further alienated journalists, leading some within the media space to turn against the NPP during the elections.
Since the party’s 2024 electoral defeat, Adomako Baafi alleged that Eugene Arhin has been absent from party activities, failing to assist in efforts to rebuild and reorganize. He placed much of the blame for the party’s struggles on the appointments made by President Akufo-Addo during his tenure. These revelations have sparked intense discussions within the party, with some calling for reflection on the factors that led to the NPP’s defeat and the role of key figures in that outcome.
