Work in line with President’s vision to retain power in 2028 – Chief advised. 

Togbui Nyamekor Glakpe V, Paramount Chief and President of the Ave-Dakpa Traditional Council, has advised the NDC National Chairman, Mr. Johnson Asiedu Nketia, to caution government appointees and ministers to work in line with the President’s vision.  He said Ghanaians had learnt lessons from past governments and would no longer tolerate appointees who abandon their responsibilities to chase personal gains.  “Our people are watching it. Those appointed must know they are there to serve, not to act as bosses or divert development funds for their own use,” Togbui Glakpe stated.  “We don’t want a situation where monies for projects end up in people’s pockets for campaign purposes. When that happens, yes,...

NDC Summons Chiana-Paga MP Over Comments on Leadership’s “Thank You Tour”

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has invited the Member of Parliament (MP) for Chiana-Paga, Hon. Nikyema Billa Alamzy, to appear before its Functional Executive Committee (FEC) following comments he made during a live television program. In a widely circulated video from the studios of GH One TV, the MP is heard questioning the rationale behind any “thank you tour” by the Party’s leadership in his constituency. According to the Party, his remarks “did not sit well with the leadership” and have raised concerns requiring clarification. In a letter dated September 29, 2025, signed by Hon. Emmanuel Zumakpeh, Director of Administration, the lawmaker has been scheduled to meet the FEC on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. at the Party’s headquarters in Adabraka, Accra. The ...

Lawra constituents appeal to President Mahama to appoint MCE

The people of Lawra Constituency have appealed to President John Dramani Mahama to appoint a Chief Executive for the Lawra Municipality without further delay to propel the development of the municipality. They said the development of the municipality had faced a major setback following the prolonged absence of a substantive Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) after the demise of the former MCE, Alhaji Adams Muazu. The late Alhaji Muazu died in June 2025 following a protracted illness shortly after he was sworn into office in April 2025, but the Municipality is yet to get a replacement, which had heightened frustration among many constituents. Mr Justice Gaanu, the Presiding Member (PM) of the Lawra Municipal Assembly, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in an interview that ongoing proje...

NPP Condemns Arrest of Abronye, Accuses Mahama Government of Political Harassment

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has strongly condemned the arrest and detention of its Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as “Abronye,” describing it as part of a growing culture of political harassment under the current administration. Abronye was arrested by the police after allegedly insulting the Inspector General of Police (IGP), COP Christian Tetteh Yohunu. The NPP, in a statement signed by its General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, said the move represents a worrying pattern of intimidation and suppression of dissenting voices by the John Mahama-led government. The party lamented that eight months into President Mahama’s administration, state security agencies have been “weaponised not to fight galamsey or protect citizens from rising insecurity, but to tar...
