Wontumi Calls for Peace Between Kennedy Agyapong and Abronye DC

The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has called for calm between two key party figures—former presidential aspirant Hon. Kennedy Agyapong and Bono Regional Chairman Kwame Baffoe, widely known as Abronye DC.

Speaking during an interview on Wontumi TV, Chairman Wontumi emphasized the need for unity within the party, particularly as it prepares for the 2024 general elections. He urged both Kennedy Agyapong and Abronye DC to forgive each other and let peace prevail.

Kennedy, you are our elder brother. First of all, I plead with you whatever has happened, please forgive, so that we can move past this issue, Wontumi stated.

“In the same way, Chairman Abronye, I plead with you to also forgive and allow peace to prevail. It is not always that our elder siblings are right; sometimes, they are wrong. But because they are elders, we forgive them, he added.

The tensions between the two party members escalated during the NPP’s Thank You Tour, where Abronye DC addressed allegations related to internal party politics. He denied claims that he was involved in any plot against certain presidential hopefuls and criticized what he described as double standards within the party, particularly regarding calls for reconciliation with suspended members.

Abronye firmly opposed Kennedy Agyapong’s suggestion that the NPP should grant amnesty to previously suspended or defected members, stating that such a move would encourage indiscipline within the party.

In a sharp response, Kennedy Agyapong took offence at Abronye’s remarks, describing him as a “poor man with confidence” and suggesting that some party members who contribute little financially act as if they own the party.

“Nobody is a better man than the other, but because of this party, some people talk as if they are men. They are not men,” Kennedy stated in an interview.
Even poor people think they can talk boldly—how about rich men like me?” he added.

The feud intensified when Abronye DC, during a separate interview on Movement TV, revealed that Kennedy Agyapong had initially apologized to him but later reignited the feud with fresh attacks.

“Kennedy Agyapong attacked me and later called to apologize. I ended it. But on Wednesday, he started the attack again. I’m ready to square off with him—even if it means leaving the NPP,” Abronye declared.

This ongoing public spat has raised concerns among party faithful, especially with the general elections looming. Chairman Wontumi’s intervention is seen as a timely call to protect the party’s unity and focus ahead of a crucial election year.

Political analysts warn that such internal conflicts, if not managed properly, could affect the party’s public image and campaign momentum. The NPP, like all political parties, thrives on internal cohesion and collective effort especially during election seasons.

As calls for reconciliation grow louder, it remains to be seen whether both Kennedy Agyapong and Abronye DC will heed Chairman Wontumi’s plea and prioritize party unity over personal differences.
