According to reports from GhanaWeb, the two politicians had a heated exchange during the party’s ongoing national “Thank You Tour” on Monday, April 28, 2025, in Berekum, located in the Bono Region, where both figures were present.
The altercation began after Abronye spoke to the crowd, addressing several important issues he believed the party must tackle.
He responded to accusations that he had plotted against a presidential candidate during the party’s internal elections the previous year, denying these claims.
Additionally, he defended himself against criticisms regarding his alleged favoritism towards Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP’s 2024 presidential candidate.
Abronye also reflected on the party’s recent electoral defeat, stating that arrogance had been a key factor.
He warned party officials about making divisive statements that could benefit the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the upcoming 2028 elections.
He stressed the importance of genuine unity and discouraged insulting language within the party.
Although Abronye did not name any specific individuals in his speech, Kennedy Agyapong, who spoke after him, seemed to respond indirectly to the comments with remarks of his own.
Kennedy Agyapong took aim at party members who, in his view, contributed little financially but acted arrogantly, suggesting that their behavior was unearned.
He criticized those who, despite their lack of financial contributions, spoke as if they were superior figures in the party.
He then addressed Abronye directly, warning him to choose his words carefully, suggesting that even those of modest means should not speak with such confidence, particularly when richer individuals like himself were present.
While the two politicians seemed to have reconciled briefly during another stop on the tour, appearing to laugh and stand close together, Abronye reignited the tension 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 verbal attacks.
This led Abronye to announce his readiness to confront Agyapong head-on.
He declared that he was prepared to leave the NPP to face Agyapong directly, expressing his intent to fight until Agyapong regretted challenging him.
“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,” he stated.
Abronye also accused Agyapong of using his wealth to dominate the party and intimidate others, stating that Agyapong’s actions had led him to believe he could control the party.
Abronye vowed to stand up against such treatment, promising to challenge Agyapong until he could no longer hold the NPP “hostage.”
