The national leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has publicly distanced itself from controversial remarks made by two of its regional chairmen, labeling their statements as “baseless” and inconsistent with the party’s core values.
In a statement signed by General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong on September 28, 2025, the NPP called on the public and its members to disregard the claims made by Ashanti Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako (Wontumi) and Bono Regional Chairman Kwame Baffoe (Abronye DC).
Abronye stirred controversy on live television by suggesting he had influence over the compilation of polling station albums, while Wontumi alleged that the party’s scheduled January 31, 2026, presidential primary date was designed to benefit a particular aspirant.
The party categorically rejected both assertions. “No individual, irrespective of rank or position, has a monopoly or unilateral control over the compilation of polling station albums,” the statement said, reaffirming the NPP’s commitment to fairness and transparency in all internal processes.
Regarding Wontumi’s claim, the NPP clarified that the timing of the January 31 primary was a strategic move intended to give the party ample time to reorganize and reposition itself for the 2028 general elections, not to benefit any individual.
The leadership further assured party members that transparent procedures would be followed at every stage of the internal electoral process, vowing to uphold credibility and unity within the party.
