The Acting National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Danquah Smith Butey, has dismissed reports claiming that Kwame Baffoe Abronye (Abronye DC) disrespected former President John Agyekum Kufuor during a recent party meeting.

Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Butey described the reports as misleading and explained that the supposed incident came from a misunderstanding during an internal party discussion.

“It wasn’t that Abronye disrespected President Kufuor. The misunderstanding arose from a meeting where the former President made some proposals. It’s an in-house matter that should never have been made public,” he said.

He criticised Dr Richard Anane for publicising the issue, noting that such matters should be handled within the party’s internal structures rather than in the media.

He added that Dr Anane was not present at the meeting and might have been misinformed.

Recounting what happened, Butey said former President Kufuor offered advice, and members were allowed to respond. When discussions began to go off-topic, he stepped in to restore order.

“Abronye did not insult President Kufuor. He constantly referred to him as his in-law during the discussion. If he had insulted him, I would never have tolerated it,” he stressed.
