In a video that emerged on social media on Saturday, October 25, 2025, Abronye DC, who has been involved in a heated feud with flagbearer hopeful Kennedy Ohene Agyapong in recent months, launched another verbal attack on his rival.
Addressing the delegates and party sympathisers at the event, he alleged that the former Assin Central MP had failed to employ the party's supporters, including polling agents, in the factories he owned in his constituency.
He claimed that Kennedy's allegations against some party officials who supported Dr Bawumia were beneficial to the NDC, not his party.
Abronye also made some allegations against the NPP flagbearer concerning his tenure as the Board Chairman of the Ghana National Gas Company Limited (GNGCL) during Nana Akufo-Addo's presidency.
The NPP Bono Regional Chairman's remarks about Kennedy Agyapong did not go down well with a host of supporters, who were heard hooting at him and telling him to speak about his candidate, Dr Bawumia's achievements, instead of attacking the former MP.
Abronye was later missing on the stage at the campaign event as a heated exchange broke out among some agitated supporters.
Some reports alleged that the former board member of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) had been chased out of the event by the supporters.
NPP activist speaks on supporters hooting Abronye
In an interview with YEN.com.gh, Nabil Abubakar, an NPP youth activist and member of the Active Movement for Bawumia 2028, shared his thoughts on the incident involving Abronye and the party supporters.
He spoke about whether the incident shows internal divisions within the party ahead of the primaries and if it is politically strategic or risky for regional chairmen to criticise rival flagbearer hopefuls at events meant to rally support for their own candidates.
He said:
"The incident shows the growing sensitivity within the NPP as the flagbearer race heats up. It reflects how divided opinions among supporters can easily surface when internal criticisms are made publicly."
"While regional chairmen have the right to back their preferred candidates, attacking other aspirants in public can be politically risky. It breeds tension and distracts from the party’s unity message."
"At this stage, the NPP needs to close ranks and focus on strengthening internal harmony. Unity, not division, is what will keep the party strong going into the 2024 elections."

Speaking on his show on Ohia TV, the NPP Bono Regional Chairman alleged that Kennedy's bodyguard filed a petition, making some unsubstantiated allegations against him to the CID.
He stated that he was picked up by the police at 9 am and detained for close to nine hours.
He said he was scheduled to be at the hospital for a routine check-up on a complication he had while on remand for his first arrest. However, the police refused to allow him to visit the hospital.
