'Who is Karbo to overrule my orders?’ – Buttey fumes over NPP amendment controversy

Former Acting National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Danquah Smith Buttey, has questioned the authority of Anthony Abayifaa Karbo to overrule his decision to defer the party’s proposed constitutional amendments at the NPP’s National Delegates Conference.

Buttey, reacting to the development, questioned Karbo’s role in the process, arguing that as the Master of Ceremonies (MC) for the conference, he had no authority to overturn a directive issued by the Acting National Chairman.

Speaking in an interview on Ezra Adekyee, and sighted by GhanaWeb on October 6, 2026, Buttey said he had announced the deferment in his capacity as Acting National Chairman because he believed the conference did not have sufficient time to properly consider the amendments while also conducting the national executive elections.
