Tensions within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) continue to simmer as Bono Regional Chairman Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, took aim at former presidential hopeful Kennedy Agyapong, accusing him of double standards and self-interest.
In an explosive interview on Wontumi TV on May 2, 2025, Abronye launched a scathing attack on Agyapong, labelling him “greedy” and “dishonourable,” and challenging the Assin Central MP to be transparent about the personal gains he has accrued from his long association with the ruling party.
Abronye’s remarks come amid renewed internal party friction following a confrontation between the two during the party’s “Thank You Tour” in the Bono Region—a clash that signaled growing divisions among top figures in the NPP after the party’s recent electoral loss.
“We’re tired of Kennedy Agyapong always reminding us of how much he’s spent on the NPP. He never talks about what the party has done for him,” Abronye said. He accused Agyapong of weaponizing his financial contributions to the party against other members, especially those who do not align with his political ambitions.
The Bono Chairman cited several examples of Agyapong’s alleged personal attacks, including past feuds with key party figures such as former MP Adomako Baafi, NPP stalwart Naa Torshie, and Minister Hawa Koomson. Abronye claimed that Agyapong often resorts to insults and undermines colleagues who do not support him, branding it as “an ego-driven quest for power.”
“He claims he’s the biggest financier of the NPP, but does he ever admit he’s also benefitted from that investment? That’s not selfless; it’s opportunistic,” Abronye charged.
The growing war of words between the two high-profile party figures underscores the challenges the NPP faces in maintaining internal cohesion post-election, especially as it prepares to rebuild and redefine its leadership structure.
Kennedy Agyapong, known for his outspoken nature and business clout, has yet to formally respond to Abronye’s accusations. However, the public fallout reflects deeper ideological and strategic rifts within the party’s hierarchy—divisions that could shape its future political trajectory.
Observers say the rift between Agyapong and regional party leaders like Abronye may force the NPP to confront unresolved tensions stemming from its internal primaries and broader leadership contest.
Is the NPP leadership doing enough to resolve these intra-party disputes before they deepen ahead of the next electoral cycle?
