NPP Condemns Alleged State-Sponsored Intimidation, Demands End to Political Persecution

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has issued a scathing statement condemning what it describes as “state-sponsored persecution” of its members by the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) government. According to the NPP, recent actions taken by state security operatives amount to politically motivated intimidation and represent a grave threat to Ghana’s democratic institutions. In a press release signed by NPP General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong, the party cited two high-profile incidents as evidence of an orchestrated campaign to harass and silence dissenting voices. “Rambo-Style” Arrest of Alfred Ababio Kumi At approximately 7:00 AM on Friday, May 23, Mr. Alfred Ababio Kumi, popularly known as “Adenta Kumi,” was reportedly arrested at his residence by heavily armed men beli...

He emphasized that trade imbalances are fundamentally rooted in macroeconomic disparities, and warned that imposing tariffs cannot rectify such structural issues. “Tariffs cannot fix macroeconomic imbalances, and history has consistently shown that attempts to do so are bound to...

 Former Vice President Bawumia Inspires African Students at Cambridge Business Conference

Former Vice President of Ghana and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, delivered a powerful keynote at the 2025 African Business Conference hosted by African students at the University of Cambridge, urging the continent’s youth to take charge of Africa’s digital and economic transformation. In a rousing address to students, academics, and young professionals, Dr. Bawumia challenged African scholars to rise above limitations and champion the continent’s global projection. “Africa does not lack innovation. We lack systems that scale it. We do not lack ideas. We lack ecosystems that reward and retain them. We do not lack ambition. We lack access to capital, infrastructure, and trust,” he emphasized. The former Vice President praised the students for their insight...

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. He stressed that "There is no point in pointing fingers against each other", saying that as a popular Ghanaian proverb says "when you point a finger at one person the other four point at you." He noted that since it is said that a fish rots from its head, it was not surprising that a lot of the blame was being heaped on the top. However, he said at all levels t...

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...

Mpraeso MP Slams NPP Leadership Over Lack of Transparency Amid Calls for Constitutional Amendments

Mpraeso Member of Parliament, Davis Ansah Opoku, has criticized the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) over its handling of the post-election review process, following the party’s call for constitutional amendment proposals from its members. In a strongly worded statement posted on his Facebook page, the MP expressed frustration that after the party’s electoral defeat, a committee was tasked to investigate the causes — yet no findings have been publicly released. Instead, members are now being asked to submit proposals for constitutional reforms without any data or official diagnosis from the investigative committee. “Surprisingly, the same party — of which we are all integral members — charged a committee to investigate the reasons behind our electoral defeat,” Mr. Opoku wr...
