Ken Agyapong’s campaign team urges NPP to punish Ashanti and Bono chairmen
The campaign team of New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful Ken Agyapong is urging the party’s leadership to take swift action against the Ashanti and Bono Regional Chairmen over what it describes as anti-party conduct.
According to the team, two videos on social media show Bernard Antwi Boasiako (Chairman Wontumi) and Kwame Baffoe (Abronye) alleging manipulation of the party’s electoral register and processes to favour a particular candidate ahead of the January 2026 presidential primaries.
The group believes the comments amount to gross misconduct and violate the NPP constitution.
Team Ken is calling on the National Executive Committee (NEC) and the National Council to immediately summon the two regional chairmen before the appropriate disciplinary bodies.
The group believes strong action will send a clear message that no member, regardless of rank or status, is above party rules.
The team warns that failure to act quickly could deepen public perceptions of bias and damage the integrity of the party’s primaries.
It reassures NPP members of its commitment to a transparent, free, and fair electoral process and urges supporters to stay vigilant.

The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party and former Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has lamented what he describes as unfair treatment being meted out to pro-NPP supporters.
Dr. Bawumia mentioned the likes of the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Chairman Wontumi, the Bono Regional Chairman of the NPP, Abronye, and even bloggers who faced such harassment and abuse.
He is therefore calling on the rank and file of the party to forge a unified front to win power in the 2028 elections.
He made this appeal during his campaign tour ahead of the presidential primary slated for January 31, 2026.

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) says it will lodge a formal complaint with the Ghana Police Service against the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) 1st National Vice Chairman, Chief Sofo Azorka, over alleged threats and acts of violence.
In a statement signed by its General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, the NPP said Chief Sofo Azorka and the Abuakwa North Constituency Communication Officer of the NDC, Alhaji Abdul Wahab Amadu, had issued death threats against some of its senior members.
Those threatened include the Minority Leader, Osahen Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Party’s National Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye, and Hon. Frank Annor Dompreh.
The Party also accused Chief Azorka and his group of physically attacking its 3rd National Vice Chairman, Alhaji Osman Masawudu.
According to the NPP, such actions undermine Ghana’s democratic progress and could fuel insecurity, especially as the country recently slipped in the Global Peace Index rankings.
The Party is therefore calling on the Inspector General of Police to arrest and investigate Chief Sofo Azorka, Alhaji Abdul Wahab, and others seen in videos circulating in the media.
It stressed that the alleged violent conduct was reckless and must be investigated and punished.
