Tensions ran high in Berekum, Bono Region, on Monday, April 28, 2025, as former Assin Central MP and NPP flagbearer aspirant Kennedy Agyapong and the party’s Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe Abronye, clashed publicly during the NPP’s Thank You Tour.
The heated exchange, which took place in front of party supporters, cast a shadow over what was meant to be a moment of reflection and unity following the 2024 elections.
Kwame Baffoe Abronye reportedly threw a veiled jab at Mr. Agyapong, accusing him of actions that have undermined the party. “Some people are noted for saying things that destroy the party and then later come and turn around and peace peace,” Abronye said, prompting visible agitation among sections of the crowd. His remarks were widely interpreted as a direct attack on Mr. Agyapong’s conduct during the party’s flagbearer race.
Unhappy with the comments, Mr. Agyapong fired back sharply, dismissing Abronye’s authority with the remark, “Who born dog?” He further stated that it was only because of politics that “poor people can stand and talk” when he spoke. Mr. Agyapong went on to say that if the NPP “jokes,” he would give them a showdown because no one was man enough in the NPP more than him.
In a scathing critique, Mr. Agyapong blamed the regional executives, including Abronye, for the NPP’s poor performance in the Bono Region during the 2024 general election. He noted that the party had lost several seats to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), attributing the loss to the regional executives’ actions.
The public clash between the two high-ranking NPP members has raised concerns about the party’s internal dynamics and its ability to present a united front moving forward.
