The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is set to meet with all presidential aspirants who have publicly declared their intention to contest the party’s 2026 flagbearer slot, in a bid to address growing tensions and reinforce internal discipline ahead of the primaries.

A statement signed by the party’s General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, and released on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, noted that the party’s National Steering Committee had resolved to invite all aspirants to a joint meeting with the Steering Committee and the National Council of Elders.

It said the meeting is scheduled for Thursday, July 3, 2025.

According to the statement, the meeting aims to “discuss matters of mutual interest” and ensure unity as the party prepares for the crucial presidential contest.

In a related development, the Steering Committee has referred the Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye, to the National Disciplinary Committee.

Mr Abronye is accused of breaching party directives by making “unguarded public comments,” despite prior warnings from the National Council.

The party has also issued a directive for the immediate cessation of all caucuses or meetings by current or former party executives and government appointees with presidential hopefuls, which it says violates party regulations.

“The Party wishes to once again remind members of their constitutional obligation to protect party unity, to abide by and publicly support the Party’s decisions, and to refrain from engaging in acts that threaten party cohesion,” the statement read.
