Bryan Acheampong: “Stop twisting my words”

The campaign office of Dr. Bryan Acheampong has cautioned the public against mischief on the man who is doing his best to change the political narrative of the country. A statement copied to the GNA in Accra said opponents “mischievously edited” a video circulating on social media, which falsely portrayed the Presidential hopeful as blaming former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for the Kusasi-Mamprusi conflict. The team clarified that Dr. Acheampong’s original remarks referred to Dr. Bawumia as a “victim of circumstance”-not a cause of division. The campaign team emphasized Dr. Acheampong’s continued respect for Dr. Bawumia’s leadership and his role in promoting peace. The statement also addressed the broader political context, noting that tribal tensions were deliberately...

Joe Ghartey Calls For Ceasefire In NPP

Former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice and former Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Hon. Joe Ghartey, has called for a ceasefire between feuding factions in the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP). According to Hon. Ghartey, there was no single person in the Party who could by himself or herself win the next election. He said what was necessary now was "cool heads, sober reflection and strategic thinking.
