The Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, has vowed to confront former presidential candidate aspirant Kennedy Agyapong “with his blood.”

The two outspoken politicians clashed during the party’s ongoing nationwide “Thank You Tour” on Monday, April 28, 2025.

Kennedy Agyapong joined the tour in Berekum, in the Bono Region. The altercation erupted after Abronye addressed party supporters at the event.

During his speech, Abronye raised critical issues he believed the party needed to address, including accusations that had been made against him. He denied claims that he had orchestrated a politically motivated plot against a particular presidential candidate ahead of the party’s internal elections last year.

He also responded to criticism about his alleged allegiance to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP’s 2024 presidential candidate.

Refuting the accusations, Abronye expressed his perspective on the party’s recent electoral loss, stating:

“Arrogance is what has brought us here.”

He cautioned party leaders against making divisive comments that could give the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) an advantage ahead of the 2028 elections. He also emphasized the need for genuine unity and discouraged the use of insults within the party.

Although Abronye did not mention any individual by name, Kennedy Agyapong, who spoke shortly afterward, appeared to respond indirectly to Abronye’s remarks through pointed statements and gestures.

Kennedy criticized individuals who, according to him, do not contribute financially to the party but act as if they are superior to others.

“Nobody is better than anyone else. But because of this party, some people act as if they are men. They are not men, they are women. When it comes to monetary contributions, they can’t even participate. They go around begging, yet they talk as if they own the world. If not for the sake of unity, some of them wouldn’t even have the confidence to speak because they’re too shy to even come to my house,” Kennedy said angrily.

He cautioned Abronye to mind his words, saying:

“Even poor people like you talk with confidence so what about rich men like me? Please! Who gave you the right to speak anyhow?”

Though the two later appeared to reconcile during another stop of the tour seen standing close together and sharing jokes Abronye reignited the feud during an interview with Movement TV on Monday, May 5, 2025.

In the interview, Abronye claimed that although Kennedy Agyapong had apologized for his previous comments, he had resumed his attacks, prompting Abronye to speak out.

“This marks the end of Kennedy Agyapong’s wild and unguarded statements about the NPP. I’m ready to square off with him. I’m even prepared to leave the NPP and face Kennedy Agyapong with my blood. He is not the only man in the NPP, I will show him I’m more of a man than he is,” Abronye declared.

“Just because he has more money than me and people go to him begging, they want me to stay silent. But I won’t. I will fight him until he regrets picking a fight with a poor man like me. Kennedy Agyapong has taken the NPP hostage because of his wealth. He even said that poor people in the party shouldn’t be allowed to speak. He can’t continue to sit on our necks—I’ll fight him until he knows he can’t hold the party to ransom anymore.”
