Chairman Abronye Remanded; He will Reappear in Court

The Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Chairman Abronye, has been remanded into police custody by the Accra Circuit Court.

This follows his arrest on Tuesday, and his subsequent arraignment on charges of offensive conduct conducive to the breach of the peace. The court, after a brief hearing, ruled that he be remanded to assist ongoing investigations.

Chairman Abronye is expected to reappear before the court on Friday, 12th September 2025, as prosecutors continue to build their case against him.

Details surrounding the specific conduct leading to the charge have not yet been made public. However, the incident has sparked considerable discussion within political circles, especially given Abronye’s high-profile status and reputation for making controversial public statements.

The NPP leadership is yet to issue an official statement on the matter.
