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, 24 June 2025, following a National Steering Committee meeting.

The party did not disclose details of the alleged infractions but confirmed that Abronye’s conduct contravened internal guidelines set 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 moment for the NPP as it works to maintain internal cohesion in the lead-up to its flagbearer elections scheduled for 31 January 2026.

As part of efforts to reinforce discipline and unity, the party 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.

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.
