The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has referred its Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, to the party’s Disciplinary Committee over what it described as “unguarded public comments” and a breach of directives issued by the National Council.
This was contained in a statement issued by the party’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, following a National Steering Committee meeting.
While the party did not disclose the full details of the alleged infractions, it confirmed that Abronye’s conduct contravened internal guidelines designed to safeguard unity ahead of the party’s upcoming presidential primaries.
“In line with the party’s constitutional processes, the Bono Regional Chairman has been referred to the Disciplinary Committee for breaching directives of the National Council and making unguarded public comments,” the statement read.
The referral comes at a critical time for the NPP as it works to maintain internal cohesion ahead of its flagbearer elections, scheduled for January 31, 2026.
As part of broader efforts to reinforce discipline and unity, the party has also directed an immediate cessation of all unauthorised caucuses and meetings involving current or former executives and presidential aspirants.
“The Party wishes to once again remind members of their constitutional obligation to protect party unity, to abide by and publicly support the Party’s decisions,” the statement emphasised.
Additionally, the NPP has summoned all declared presidential aspirants to a joint meeting with the National Steering Committee and the National Council of Elders on July 3, 2025. The meeting is expected to address “matters of mutual interest” and set the tone for a competitive but orderly internal campaign.
Notable flagbearer hopefuls expected to attend include former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, former Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong, Abetifi MP Dr. Bryan Acheampong, and former Essikado-Ketan MP Joe Ghartey.
The NPP’s firm stance on internal discipline and cohesion underscores its desire to avoid factionalism as it prepares for its presidential primary in January 2026 ahead of the 2028 general elections.
