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.

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.
