Akufo-Addo Denies Claims of Attempting to Postpone NPP National Delegates Conference

The Office of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has firmly denied recent media reports alleging that the ex-president attempted to interfere with the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) upcoming National Delegates Conference. In a statement released on July 14, 2025, the former President’s office described the claims — published by Otecmghana and GhanaWeb — as “completely false.” The reports had suggested that Akufo-Addo sought to overturn the party’s decision on early primaries and push for a postponement of the much-anticipated July 19 conference. “For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state emphatically that these reports are completely false,” the statement read. The Office clarified that former President Akufo-Addo has been out of the country for some time and has not sub...

 Former Vice President Bawumia Inspires African Students at Cambridge Business Conference

Flagbearer of NPP speaks on party’s defeat

Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the 2024 Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has acknowledged that failure to heed to the generality of Ghanaians and party enthusiasts, caused the party in the Election 2024. He said “If we consider all the studies we have done so far as to why we lost, one of the big issues was that we did not listen to the people. We ignored your voices and exhibited arrogance. There was arrogance of power”. Dr Bawumia continued that though party members asked for a reshuffle, party hierarchy failed to listen. “Ghanaians told us they did not like the e-levy, but we did not listen to them. Meanwhile, there are about 16 million mobile money subscribers. So literally, all the voters use mobile money”. “The people also told us not to implement the haircu...
