The National Leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has distanced itself from recent public pronouncements made by the Ashanti Regional Chairman, Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako, and the Bono Regional Chairman, Mr. Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC.
In a press release, dated 28 September,2025, the Party stressed that the statements made by the two chairmen do not reflect the ideals and practices of the NPP. It categorically emphasized that no individual, regardless of rank or position, has monopoly or unilateral control over the compilation of polling station albums.
“The compilation of the polling station album strictly adheres to established compliance procedures. The National Secretariat will, at the appropriate time, issue clear and transparent guidelines, protocols, and procedures designed to safeguard integrity, credibility, and fairness at every stage of the process,” the release noted.
The Party further urged stakeholders, particularly polling station executives across the country, to disregard the pronouncements and treat them with the “utmost contempt they deserve.”
Addressing a related matter, the Party also rejected claims by Mr. Antwi Boasiako suggesting that the decision to hold its presidential primaries on January 31, 2026, was calculated to favour a particular aspirant.
According to the NPP, the decision was exhaustively deliberated by the National Council and taken in the Party’s “supreme and strategic interest.” It maintained that no single individual has the capacity to manipulate or influence such decisions.
“The decision to hold an early congress is intended solely to provide the Party with sufficient time and strategic advantage to reorganise, reposition, and recapture power in 2028,” the statement explained.
The Party reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, fairness, and internal democracy, assuring members that every stage of its electoral activities will reflect the highest standards of integrity and credibility.
