Kwame Baffoe aka Abronye DC
KWAME BAFFOE, aka Abronye DC, was re-elected as the Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the Bono Region.
Though the voting process was characterised by misunderstanding between the regional election committee and officials of the Electoral Commission (EC) as to whether to allow some three constituencies to partake in the exercise, because they were purportedly served an injunction from the court, Abronye won with votes from nine constituencies.
Two hundred and sixty-three delegates from 12 constituencies were supposed to cast their votes, but delegates from Sunyani East, Jaman South and Dormaa Central were denied participation by officials of the EC.

Abronye’s First Vice Chairman, Joseph Mensah, also retained his seat by beating three others with 149 votes.
