NPP Mourns Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka, founder and leader of the Kristo Asafo Mission, who died on Thursday, September 11, 2025, after a short illness.

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...

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.

Kennedy Agyapong Calls for End to Politicization After Helicopter Crash

Businessman and politician Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has urged Ghanaians, particularly political actors, to end what he describes as the needless politicization of critical national issues following the recent helicopter crash that claimed eight lives. According to him, the tragic incident should serve as a wake-up call on the dangers of excessive partisanship, which he believes continues to undermine Ghana’s progress. Mr. Agyapong criticized opposition parties, especially the National Democratic Congress (NDC), for what he termed as “propaganda and vitriolic attacks” that stifle important national projects. He cited the controversy that surrounded the proposed acquisition of a new Presidential Jet under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s administration. He recalled that while H...
