The Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai Constituency Chairman of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Asamoah, has accused the party's Acting National Chairman, Joseph Danquah Smith Butey, of interfering in the constituency's internal electoral processes.

Chairman Asamoah alleged that Butey is meddling in the constituency's polling station and electoral area elections in an attempt to impose former Member of Parliament Alfred Obeng Boateng on delegates. According to him, the alleged actions contradict the party's electoral guidelines.

"The National Executive Committee (NEC) provided us with clear directives for conducting these elections. We have successfully completed both the polling station and electoral area elections, yet Butey seems determined to override our democratic processes to install Alfred Obeng Boateng," he alleged.

Tensions in the constituency reportedly escalated after Boateng was accused of holding a press conference at his residence to rally supporters against the election outcomes.

The former MP subsequently initiated legal action against Chairman Asamoah and several constituency executives, deepening divisions within the party.

The controversy intensified when the Acting National Chairman allegedly summoned the Regional Chairman and all constituency executives to a meeting to discuss the already concluded electoral area coordinators' elections.

Chairman Asamoah argued that the intervention breaches the party's internal procedures, explaining that all electoral grievances are required to be submitted to the constituency executives for resolution within a stipulated 24-hour period.

"The NEC convened previously and found no justifiable reasons to annul our elections. This current interference undermines the party's internal dispute resolution mechanisms," he said.

He warned that the alleged interference threatens the party's internal unity and could undermine its chances in the 2028 general elections.

"The party has confidence in its constituency executives, and we will not allow our democratic rights to be compromised," he said, urging the national leadership to respect the will of the grassroots rather than favour individuals seeking to circumvent the party's established electoral processes.

Butey and Boateng have not publicly responded to the allegations contained in this report.
