Boadu secured 2,888 votes to win the chairmanship at the party’s National Delegates Conference held at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi on Saturday, October 3, 2026. He defeated former Energy Minister Boakye Kyerematen Agyarko, who polled 2,048 votes, while former National Chairman Paul Afoko obtained 490 votes.
