NPP Facing Internal Storm: Boateng's Bawumia Slurs Spark Outrage, Abronye's Conduct Draws Disciplinary Action

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Ghana has faced internal tensions following recent comments by two of its members. Asante Akyem South MP Asante Boateng made unprovoked attacks against Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, while Bono Regional Chairman Kwame Baffoe (Abronye) faced disciplinary action for derogatory remarks and false claims.

Boateng described Bawumia as an outsider and a slave, sparking outrage within the party. The NPP issued a statement condemning Boateng's 'divisive and tribal bigotry', but stopped short of referring him to the Disciplinary Committee. Meanwhile, Abronye's conduct was deemed 'gravely detrimental' to the party's image and unity, leading to his referral to the Disciplinary Committee. The party's handling of the two cases has been criticized as unequal, with some arguing that Boateng's comments were more dangerous to the party's image and unity than Abronye's conduct.

As of November 2025, there are no officially confirmed consequences for Asante Boateng's remarks against Bawumia. The NPP has been urged to refer Boateng to the Disciplinary Committee to protect its image and send a clear message. The party's internal processes will determine the final outcome of these cases.
