Kwame Baffoe, also known as Abronye DC, is the Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). The party has submitted him to its disciplinary committee for making “unguarded public comments” and for violating directions from the National Council.
The party’s general secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, made this announcement on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, after a meeting of the National Steering Committee.
The party acknowledged that Abronye’s activities went against internal policies intended to maintain unity before the party’s impending presidential primaries, but it did not provide specifics of the alleged violations.
“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.
As the NPP attempts to preserve internal unity in the run-up to its flagbearer elections on January 31, 2026, the referral comes at a crucial time.
The party has ordered an immediate end to any unapproved caucuses and meetings between current or past executives and presidential candidates in an attempt to strengthen discipline and unity.
“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.
In addition, the NPP has summoned all declared presidential aspirants to a joint meeting with the National Steering Committee and the National Council of Elders on 3 July 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 the meeting 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 for the 2028 general elections.
