The High Court is expected to hear a bail application on May 20, 2026, seeking the release of Bono Regional Chairman of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, who remains in detention as investigations into allegations of misinformation and offensive public comments continue.

The development was disclosed by the party’s General Secretary, Justin Frimpong Kodua, in a Facebook post on Tuesday, May 18, 2026, after he and other senior party officials visited Abronye at the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI).

Among those who accompanied him were former Trade and Industry Minister K. T. Hammond, Deputy General Secretary Haruna Mohammed, Central Regional Chairman Dennis Percyval Quaicoe, and the party’s 2024 parliamentary candidate for Agona West, Christopher Arthur.

According to Kodua, despite his detention, Abronye remained upbeat and appreciative of the support he has received from party faithful across the country.

Kodua said the outspoken politician was “resolute, courageous and in very high spirits” and had extended his appreciation to party supporters for standing by him during the difficult period.

He added that Abronye also sent a message to party members in the Bono Region, encouraging them to stay united and focused.

“His spirit remains unbroken, and his conviction unwavering,” Kodua wrote, quoting Abronye as assuring supporters that he would “definitely be back.”

The NPP General Secretary disclosed that lawyers for the regional chairman had already filed a bail application at the High Court and expressed hope that the legal process would secure his release.

Abronye DC was remanded for two weeks after being rearrested on Wednesday, May 13, just weeks after he had previously been granted bail in connection with the same case.

Security agencies say investigations are ongoing into allegations linked to misinformation and offensive public statements allegedly made by the politician.
