The Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, has attributed the party’s recent electoral defeat to the government’s failure to listen to its grassroots supporters.

Speaking on the matter, Abronye DC stated that he does not blame constituency officers, polling station executives, or any party members for the loss.

Instead, he pointed to the government’s inability to heed concerns raised by the grassroots.

“I won’t blame constituency officers, polling station executives, or anybody. We didn’t listen to them. The government didn’t listen to the party.

“The government was suffering from hearing impairment, so when the party grassroots were talking, they couldn’t hear,” he emphasized.

In an interview on Wontumi TV on February 20, 2025, he further explained that the disconnect between the leadership and the party’s grassroots led to dissatisfaction among supporters, ultimately contributing to the party’s poor electoral performance.

“So, you cannot blame anybody in the grassroots. When they were enjoying their positions and starving the grassroots, that was the source of the problem,” he added.

Abronye DC dismissed claims that the party’s loss was due to the candidacy of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP’s presidential candidate.

According to him, some individuals attempted to shift blame to Dr. Bawumia, but the real issue was the frustration and anger among party members.

“This election loss has nothing to do with Dr. Bawumia. One former MP called me and said Bawumia is not a good candidate. I told him this election had nothing to do with Bawumia, but there was so much anger among the people. He even called another flagbearer aspirant to remove me from my position because I didn’t agree with him that we should change Bawumia,” Abronye DC revealed.
