Abronye’s re-election not surprising; he worked really hard – Ag. NPP Chairman

The Acting National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Danquah Smith Butey, explained that Kwame Baffoe Abronye's re-election as Bono Regional Chairman was not unexpected. Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Mr Butey attributed the incumbent's victory to his hard work. While acknowledging that Abronye had faced criticism over some of his statements and behavior, he emphasized that the party members' calls for his removal were not enough to overturn the election results.

The party chairman noted that Abronye demonstrated his commitment to the NPP by working hard to gain the support of delegates. Mr Butey stated that the final decision on who would lead the party at the regional level rested with the delegates. Abronye, affectionately known as Abronye DC, successfully retained the Bono Regional chairmanship at the election held on August 15, 2024.

He secured 201 votes, outpacing Yaw Afful with 44 votes and Joseph Mensah with 31 votes. Abronye now has another term to lead the NPP’s regional operations as the party gears up for the 2028 general elections. Mr Butey emphasized that the 2024 election results should serve as a lesson for all party members, stating that everyone, including regional leaders, faced electoral setbacks.

He described the recent elections as generally successful and expressed readiness to collaborate with the newly elected executives, regardless of their choices during the contests. The NPP is now focused on reorganizing its regional structures and preparing for the upcoming 2028 elections, with the hope that the newly elected officials will bolster the party's grassroots presence and improve its electoral prospects.
