NPP refers Abronye DC to Disciplinary Committee over misconduct

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has formally referred its outspoken Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, to the party’s National Disciplinary Committee over alleged misconduct.

In a petition submitted by the General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, the party cited multiple actions by Mr. Baffoe which it described as “unbecoming of a member” and “gravely detrimental to the image, unity, and integrity of the organisation.”

Key concerns outlined in the petition include:

Defamation of a senior party member: Abronye DC is accused of making derogatory remarks against Kennedy Agyapong, including a claim that “even the elephant has more wisdom than Hon. Agyapong.”

False allegations against the General Secretary: He is alleged to have claimed that Mr. Kodua concealed a report recommending the expulsion of Mr. Agyapong — accusations the party described as “false, malicious, and injurious.”

Misrepresentation of committee findings: The petition further accuses him of disclosing and distorting the contents of a disciplinary committee report, breaching confidentiality and undermining the authority of the committee.

The party has requested the Disciplinary Committee to conduct a full and impartial inquiry into Mr. Baffoe’s conduct and apply appropriate sanctions in line with the party’s constitution.

According to the petition, ensuring accountability within the NPP is “non-negotiable,” as it is critical to safeguarding the party’s unity, integrity, and credibility.

“The leadership remains committed to fairness, discipline, and the protection of the Party’s democratic values,” the General Secretary stressed
