Former presidential aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and Former Trade Minister Mr Alan John Kwadwo Kyeremanten has alleged that his former party has been hijacked by a selected group. At a press conference held at the Movenpick Ambassador Hotel in Accra, Alan John Kwadwo Kyeremanten on Monday, September 25, 2023, he resigned from the party seeking to contest the 2024 polls as an independent Presidential Candidate. He however did not hesitate to expose some ills in his former party saying, “The NPP as it exists now has very little resemblance to the Party that I joined in 1992 and helped to nurture. The Party has been hijacked by a selected group of Party leaders and elders, government appointees, behind the curtain power brokers and some unscrupulous Party apparatchiks”Mr Kyeremanten also indicated that the treatment he has so far received from his party is a clear indication that they do not appreciate his service at the party.“It is abundantly clear to me, that my services and contributions to the Party are not appreciated, and that my continuous stay in the Party will create further tension and division, which is an exact replay of circumstances that led to my decision to resign from the Party in 2008”, he said.Announcing his resignation and also his decision to go independent Alan Kwadwo Kyeremanten said “I wish to use this platform to announce that I am honourably resigning with immediate effect from the New Patriotic Party to contest for the high office of the President of the Republic of Ghana in the 2024 General Elections, as an Independent Presidential Candidate”.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Flagbearer aspirant Hopeful for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Hon Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has promised to take back affordable houses that have been bought by rich people in the country.

OccupyJulorbiHouse Demo: Police creating unnecessary tension- Joseph Yammin

The National Organizer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Joseph Yammin has accused the Ghana Police Service of causing unnecessary tension in the country in their recent conduct. He observed that the treatment of members of demonstrators of OccupyJulorbiHouse which escalated the whole issue was not necessary. At least 49 members of the demonstrators were arrested by the Ghana Police Service when they stormed the streets in Accra to picket at the Jubilee House. Several Ghanaian celebrities later joined in the demonstration organized by the pressure group “Democracy Hub” to express their displeasure with the Nana Addo and NPP-led government. Speaking in an interview with Ambassador TV monitored by MyNewsGh.com, the National Organizer of the NDC Joseph Yammin emphasized that the Ghana Police Service led by the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dr. George Akuffo Dampare is causing unnecessary tension by arresting Ghanaians who were demonstrating against the Akufo-Addo government.“When the people are being prevented from doing what is their right, they will find other ways and means to do what is their right” Joseph Yammin told Osei Kwadwo “The high rate of unemployment in this country under Nana Addo’s government is more than a National Security threat. When the people are so much concerned about what is happening in a country, trying to prevent them from expressing their grievances will force them to adopt the traditional security and start to use force” Yammin explained.“Who gave the IGP order to arrest the demonstrators? Why is this government trying to prevent Ghanaians from expressing their displeasure? Is it wrong for Ghanaians to demonstrate against the government and Bank of Ghana governor for mismanaging the economy?” Yammin quizzed.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

I didnt complain while in govt because the time wasnt right Alan

Former Trade Minister, Alan Kyeremeten has indicated that even though he was aware of the challenges faced by the Ghanaian people, he could not have vented because he was a senior member of the government. He says the problems were glaring for everyone to see, but he had to get out of government to be able to make them known. Alan Kyrematen was speaking on Accra-based TV3 when he made this known.He said, “Is that what you expect a founding member of the party to do? That if there are challenges in the party, I come out openly to speak about them? For whose benefit? If I’m part of a group at the very senior level, I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to come out to criticize the government when I’m aware of the challenges and whatever is going on.As I said, I’ve been a senior member of the party, and the last thing I would do is claim that I had no knowledge of whatever was going on. I was aware of everything, but I’m suggesting to you that it is not appropriate,” he said.Alan Kyerematen further indicated “I think that there is time for everything, and there is a process when you need to do anything about governance. When you need to speak about an issue, you find the appropriate time to speak about especially when you’re aware of the circumstances that have given rise to the situation that you find yourself in”.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Youre not a better alternative NDC to Alan Kyeremanten

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has reacted to the resignation of Alan Kyeremanten from the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) and his intention to run for President as an independent candidate. For the NDC, he cannot purport to seek to solve the problems of the country that he has been part of creating. The NDC stressed that Alan Kyeremanten does not have what it takes to be President of the country. In a statement authored by the National Communications Officer Sammy Gyamfi, the NDC noted that Alan Kyeremanten has been a key part of the current NPP government led by President Akufo-Addo and cannot extricate himself from the prevailing economic challenges of the country. “…The point has to be made forcefully, that Alan is not a viable alternative to the failed incumbent NPP government.* As a Cabinet Minister responsible for Trade and Industry and a member of the Economic Management team from 2017-2023, Alan Kwadwo Kyeremanteng actively participated in the destruction of the economy into the mess it is today.Under his watch, the Komenda Sugar Factory was abandoned to rot for almost six (6) years. Growth of the manufacturing sector declined significantly and businesses were suffocated by the bad policies of his Ministry and government leading to several job losses,” the statement said.The NDC however acknowledged that Alan Kyeremanten was justified to resign even given the happenings in the party.“It is an indisputable fact, that Alan Kwadwo Kyeremanteng has not been treated fairly by his party, the NPP. The NPP under the leadership of President Akufo-Addo has never been truly democratic.There is no way Alan could have gotten a modicum of fairness or justice in the ongoing presidential primaries of the NPP under the leadership of the despotic tyrant, Akufo-Addo who is hellbent on installing his puppet as his successor and continues to oppress persons who disagree with him. Former NPP National Chairman, Paul Afoko and former General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong come to mind readily.I understand Alan’s pain and do empathize with him. He and his supporters have continuously been victims of intimidation, unprovoked harassment and violence. His resignation from the NPP is therefore understandable,” the statement explained.Today, September 25, 2023, Alan Kyeremanten announced his resignation from the NPP and the formation of the Movement for Change, with which he aspires to be the President of Ghana and therefore will contest in the 2024 general elections as an independent presidential candidate.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

How NPP National Chairman warned against accepting Alan back into the party in 2008

First National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Bernard Joao da Rocha( BJ Da Rocha) had in 2008 warned the NPP about the negative repercussions of their decision to accept Alan Kyeremanten back into the party after he had resigned in 2007 and had rescinded his resignation due to pressure from some influential persons within the party. BJ Da Rocha had warned that Alan Kyeremanten’s declaration that there was a national interest superior to the interest of the NPP cleared showed that he was not altogether committed and had no deep-rooted dedication to the cause of the NPP. “In light of this statement, it is my considered view that it will not be in the best interest of the NPP to receive Mr. Alan Kyeremanteng back into the party’s fold.He will become a disruptive factor in the party, a stumbling block, a loose cannon, the party has an elections to win, we should concentrate our efforts on the task ahead and let him go his way in peace,” B.J Da Rocha warned in 2008.Alan Kyeremanten had in 2007 in the aftermath National Delegates Conference that elected a presidential candidate tendered in his resignation from the party.

Vote massively for NPP MPs but choose me as President Alan Kyeremanten

Former Member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has called on the people of Ghana and supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to vote massively for their Member of Parliament. However, he has called on them to vote for him as he intends to contest the 2024 elections as an independent candidate. Alan Kyeremanten made this known when he spoke at an event to announce his resignation from the NPP. “You can vote for your preferred choice of NPP Parliamentary Candidate and vote for Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen in the Presidential elections in December 2024, to become the sixth President of the fourth Republic of Ghana.” He further indicated that his decision to leave the political party is geared towards not making the NPP go into opposition after the 2024 elections.“I wish to use this opportunity to assure the rank and file of the New Patriotic Party that I still cherish my relationship with you, and I am committed to the ideals of the founding fathers of the Party. My decision to contest as an Independent Candidate will not destroy the Party, but rather provide the Party an opportunity to participate in a Government of National Unity in the future, and avoid the risk of going into opposition with no dividends, in what arguably will be a difficult general election in 2024.”Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Former Trade Minister Alan Kyeremanten has observed that his followers in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have always been treated with disdain. To him, it is worrying that his followers are seen as outcasts. “It is common knowledge that any party member who is associated directly or indirectly with Alan is treated with disdain and considered an outcast,” he said.Worrying for him is the fact that even though he has worked so hard to ensure that there is peace and his people are likeable in the political party, his efforts do not seem to yield the needed results.“Despite the sacrifice that I made to unite the Party as referred to above, there were very serious post-primary attacks on my supporters all over the country, and an open show of hostility. Some of my supporters were victims of brutalities and continue to bear the scars of that treatment. I made several representations to the then leadership of the Party, drawing their attention to the rancorous and divisive behaviour of some elements in the Party.”Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Political scientist Dr Richard Amoako Baah says the President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa AKufo-Addo, should resign. According to him, the President has failed woefully and will do himself a lot of good if he vacates his seat as President. He believes that if he believes in his Vice President, he should leave him to take over so that he executes the plans he says he has for the country.“Bawumia says he has a plan for the country. This is the time for Nana Addo, who has failed woefully, to resign on sick grounds. This will pave the way for Bawumia who says he has a plan to execute the plan so that he can be tested,” he said on Accra-based Neat FM.BackgroundPresident Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has acknowledged the challenges that Ghanaians are facing amidst the ongoing economic crisis.Addressing the media after casting his vote at the New Patriotic Party’s Super Delegates Congress on Saturday, August 26, President Akufo-Addo expressed his confidence in the Ghanaian people’s ability to choose a leader who can navigate the country through these difficult times.“It’s difficult, I’m the first to admit it. I have said it several times, but at the end of the day I believe when the moment comes, Ghanaians will reflect on who best to get us out of this difficulty and take us to the next stage,” he said.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

NDC not as corrupt and arrogant as NPP Joyce Bawah Mogtari

Special aide to former President John Mahama, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, has argued that the corruption and bad governance of the Akufo-Addo-led New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration are on a bigger scale than what happened under the previous National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration. Ms Bawah Mogtari noted that assertions that the NDC and NPP are on the same level in terms of administering the country are dishonest and false given that the NDC has done better than the NPP, especially with regard to corruption and stealing. She made the comments on X (formerly Twitter) in reaction to a claim that her criticism of the Akufo-Addo-led administration was just mere political rhetoric to get NDC back to power to do much worse than the current administration has done.“You see Sir, let me be honest with you and say without any hesitation that what you are saying is dishonest and false! Decide whether you want to continue voting for the NPP! That is your choice.The level of corruption and stealing we are seeing today has never even remotely…” she tweeted in response to the claim that the NDC was no better than the NPP.Following the #OccupyJulorbiHouse demonstration, Ms Bawah lashed at persons who were critical of John Mahama’s Presidency but has become silent even in much worse circumstances under President Akufo-Addo.“Where are the big boys and girls of yesterday, occupiers and bulls of ‘hard work’ who were literally critiquing everything Mills/Mahama/NDC and now see nothing wrong with our country?” She quizzed.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

I blame Ghanas struggles on bad leadership Ken Agyapong

Flagbearer hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kennedy Agyapong says Ghana is currently struggling because the country has over the years lacked better leadership. He is of the view that Ghana is blessed with all the needed resources to develop and make life better for the people but the citizenry continues to suffer as a result of incompetent leadership. “God has blessed Ghana with all the resources to develop, but it has been a struggle for the country. This is because of bad leadership. I want to make a difference in society so have hope and confidence that there is one man who is ready to sacrifice his life to make Ghana a better place for us to go back home,” he said while speaking at the Church of Pentecost in America. Kennedy Agyapong indicated that the recent exodus of a number of youthful people is a testament to the fact that the country is broken and needs to be fixed. He reminded the congregation that “some people if you vote for them, in the next three to four years there will be no peace in the country”.

FixTheCountry convenor not value-driven; cant be trusted Enam Akoetey

Climate Change Expert Enam Akoetey-Eyiah has cast doubts on the motives and trustworthiness of activist and lead convenor of youth-led civil movement #FixtheCountry Mamuse Oliver Barker-Vormawor. She intimated that Mr Barker-Vormawor’s conduct with respect to how he is going about his activism and his failure to promptly report alleged attempts to bribe him -contained in an audio recording – into abandoning his activism with #FixtheCountry in 2021 by the National Security Minister show that he is not value-driven and lacks integrity. She lashed out at Mr Barker-Vormawor for supposedly focusing on educating people on their rights but not on their responsibility, especially with regard to how he mobilised people for the just-ended #OccupyJulorbiHouse demonstration. ‘There are a lot of claims going out. And I am saying that are they all about integrity.  If you are saying that a lot of people called you to say that don’t publish something, the question is if you are a person that is value-driven, would you listen to them? Or say “I hear what you are asking me to do but it is the wrong thing. So, I am going to defy you and publish?” So why would it take him[ Barker-Vormawor] two to three years for him to publish this audio?” Ms Enam Akoetey-Eyiah wondered.Barker-Vormawor, who is a respected lawyer and a doctoral candidate at the University of Cambridge, had alleged that the National Security Minister Albert Kan Dapaah had in 2021 offered him a million dollars to abandon his activism with #FixtheCountry. The Minister swiftly challenged him to provide evidence. Mr Barker-Vormawor has pledged to make the audio recording available to the public as soon as possible.Ms Akoetey-Eyiah argued that the delay points to Mr Barker-Vormawor’s questionable integrity.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

OccupyJulorbiHouse demo just to score political points; NPP is fixing the country NPP youth

The National Youth Wing of the Governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Salam Mustapha has taken on Democracy Hub, organisers of the #OccupyJulorbiHouse protest and protesters for failing to state exactly what their demonstration was meant to address, accusing them of engaging in debaucherous and uncanny politics given the massive evidence that the Government of President Akufo-Addo is governing the country well and fixing its problems despite the difficulties it faces as a result of global happenings. In a statement released today in reaction to the demonstration, authored by the NPP’s National Youth Organiser Salam Mustapha, the Youth Wing, while condemning the brutalization of some protesters by the police, went to great lengths to explain the terrible economy inherited by the Akufo-Addo administration and how it has worked assiduously to address the development issues of the country. The “I followed with keen interest a 3-Day demonstration organised by a group known as Democracy Hub. I want to first condemn the action of the police force on the first day of the demonstration. I thought that the barbaric act that was meted on us in September 2015, where we were brutalised,  served as a lesson for the police to learn from and never to repeat again but alas… I tried so hard in the 3 days of the protest to take home the most salient reason and demand for the protest, but nothing concrete. Except for the usual rhetoric of fix the road, motorway, cost of living and other tangentials, which borders on politics,” the statement reads in part.The statement noted that the hardship in the country is not the doing of the present administration but has been imposed by external issues.   “We have all been affected by hardships brought upon us due to the economic crisis we have been through since 2021. It’s imperative to point to the ravaging consequences of COVID-19 and the current supply chain disruptions caused by the war in Eastern Europe. This has dealt a significant blow to our economic outlook as a country, just as the entire global economy has been struck by these catastrophic events.For example, inflation rose to a 30-year high of 8% in the USA and, consequently, increasing the prices of fuel, food, mortgages, etc. The Biden administration is being criticised as well.5. This government inherited an economy that was in tatters in 2017, GDP growth averaged 3.5%, significant job losses due to Dumsor, freeze on public sector employment, and all statutory accounts were in arrears,” the statement explained.Democracy Hub held a three-day protest against bad governance and economic hardship among other issues.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Sam Georges calibre is rare in NPP Former Ghanas Ambassador to US

National Democratic Congress (NDC) Elder and Ghana’s Former Ambassador to the USA, Daniel Ohene Agyekum has heaped praises on Member of Parliament (MP) for Ningo-Prampram, Samuel Nartey George as one to watch within the politics of Ghana. He described him as one who comes across as straightforward, disciplined and transformational in his approach. Speaking on the Ultimate FM Cup of Tea Show with Julius Caesar Anadem in Kumasi, monitored by MyNewsGh.com, when asked about young politicians who could change the narrative for Ghana after the older politicians seemingly failed the country, he singled out the Ningo-Prampram MP for praise. “You, see I have listened to the debates and arguments of this young and vibrant individual in parliament, the NDC MP for Prampram Sam George. He is assertive and strong in his positions both in and outside parliament” “He is firm and appears much disciplined and would not take any nonsense. The young chap understands what it means to stand for the right things and the truth. He speaks his mind regardless of what others may think” he said. “I am not saying this because he belongs to the NDC, no; he is loved by a lot of people across the political divide and even people who are not in politics. He is one to watch for the now and tomorrow”, he explained When asked if he sees similar traits in the young politicians in the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Ambassador Agyekum said he was yet to see any such in that party. “For the NPP, I am yet to see someone in the calibre of Sam George. I don’t think they have. If they did I would have spotted such a person. I am not being partisan here but I have not seen a youth in the NPP aspiring to high heights of good leadership”    Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

We cant risk Ghanas destiny in the hands of speech makers Lawyer William Kusi

Head of the Kennedy Agyapong Campaign team in the Ashanti Region, Lawyer William Kusi has asked delegates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) not to vote for people who are only good at delivering speeches. According to him, governance is a practical thing which must be able to transform the country as well as the lives of the citizenry and not about giving speeches. He argued that the capacity of an individual does not only lie in his or her ability to read speeches and give lectures at events but his or her ability to put his knowledge into practice to benefit his people.“We have tapes of what the other side is saying, they have no message but we have a message. We have a reason why we should be elected, we have built factories but the other side has not” Lawyer William Kusi said this in an interview with Angel FM in Kumasi monitored by MyNewsGH.com.“All they have been saying is that they are presidential materials because they can give speeches, but who told you? What they do in academics has nothing to do with the realities on the ground. The fact that you have a Ph.D. doesn’t mean you can manage the country. Wisdom does not lie in books”, Lawyer Kusi disclosed.He also indicated that Ken Agyapong has a message for Ghanaians the reason he should be voted for but the other candidate has no message.He therefore urged delegates to vote for the Assin Central Member of Parliament (MP) in the November 4 election because he is the only one to change the destiny of the country.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Akufo-Addo, NPP promised the moon but have delivered nothing Former Ambassador

Member of the National Council of Elders of National Democratic Congress (NDC) and Ghana’s former Ambassador to the USA, Daniel Ohene Agyekum has hit hard at the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for promising everything including the moon but has failed to deliver even the most basic of their promises. Ambassador Ohene Agyekum, a former Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NDC noted that the current crop of leaders in the NPP and President Akufo-Addo will go down in history as the most failed leadership group to ever be at the helm of Ghana’s affairs. The NDC elder, who made the comments on Kumasi-based Ultimate FM, believes that given the terrible governance of the NPP, the party will never have a chance to form a government again.“The NPP has been a disgrace. Their abysmal performance is there for all to see. If you compare the development that was achieved under Atta Mills and John Mahama’s eight years, and you do the same for Nana Addo, I will not hesitate to say that Prof Mills and Mahama brought about transformation to this country,” he argued. He continued: “You can name their achievements. The schools that were built – the E blocks.  In the health sector the number of hospitals that were constructed. People talk about roads; you can name them. It is an expression of the transformational leadership they showed.”The failure of the NPP to deliver on their promises, he said: “The NPP promised to do so much and has failed so much. They even promised the moon and have failed to deliver everything they talked about.  We have had resources that could have been put to better use but this government has just failed especially under this particular government.Under the Akufo-Addo government, the amount of money that has been borrowed is more than seven times what was borrowed even under NDC, Rawlings and NDC Mills–Mahama.  Over 600 billion dollars in seven years, what have we achieved with that?Tell me what we really have achieved under this government. How many schools have been built? How many hospitals have been built? Someone should tell me, “He argued. He noted that generations coming will carry a huge burden as the country’s resources have been mortgaged.“I weep for the future of this country. The future of this country has been mortgaged under the NPP of Akufo-Addo and that is going to be a burden for the youth of this country going forward,” he lamented.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Akufo-Addo is a negative transformational leader Ohene Agyekum

Stateman Daniel Ohene Agyekum has argued that it is not appropriate for Prof Frimpong Boateng to suggest Ghana has not had transformational leaders after Kwame Nkrumah. Mr. Agyekum noted that there have been positive and negative transformational leaders over Ghana’s 66 years of existence and any conversation surrounding transformational leadership must be dissected with that in mind. Speaking in an interview with Julius Caesar Anadem on Ultimate FM’s morning Show, Cup of Tea Morning, Ambassador Ohene Agyekum disagreed vehemently with Prof Kwabena Frimpong Boateng, explaining that Ghana has had transformational leaders in both the negative and positive sense. “I find it difficult to accept that after Kwame Nkrumah, we haven’t had a transformational leader. We have had different people at different levels as transformational leaders in their own rights. Professor Frimpong Boateng transformed Korle Bu. So he is a transformational leader. If he is talking about the Presidency and other political leaders, he needs to define the parameters within which one can claim to be a transformer or a transformational leader. There should be a clear distinction in the area of the economy or other aspects of the development of this country” he premised his argument “Yes, Kwame Nkrumah through his well-acknowledged, policies, vision and deliverables make him a transformational leader. He built the Akosombo Dam. The construction of roads and schools. He was transformational, and so have others who have played their roles too. “Different leaders have done great things too for his country. Atta Mills, Mahama and Jerry John Rawlings have all served this country well,” he added. Ambassador Agyekum however singled out the current President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as a negative transformational leader which must be placed on Ghana’s record. “Akufo-Addo is a transformational leader, maybe in a negative way. Akufo Addo has transformed this country from a healthy environment to a bad state. Today our forest and water bodies, our cocoa farms have all been destroyed and continue to be destroyed” “Yes, he is transforming this country but in a negative way. The transformation has a negative and positive dimension. The positive ones are what Kwame Nkrumah and others have done; the negative ones are what Nana Addo is doing” he explained. Prof Frimpong Boateng had argued that only Kwame Nkrumah could be described as a transformational leader in Ghana’s history. But Mr Ohene Agyekum has disagreed with his assertion, insisting that transformational leaders have come after Kwame Nkrumah Source: MyNewsGh.com Thanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Voter Registration: Tell your constituents to wait till next year EC tells MP

The Chairperson of the Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC), Jean Mensa, has said that persons in constituents with terrains that make it difficult for them to access district offices of the Electoral Commission (EC) and get registered in the ongoing voter registration exercise should wait till next year when the EC brings the registration exercise closer to them to enable them to get registered. The EC Chairperson made this known in a response to the Member of Parliament (MP) for Afram Plains North Constituency Betty Krosbi Mensah, who had petitioned the commission on the hard-to-reach nature of her constituency and how that potentially disenfranchises thousands of people. In a response dated September 15, 2023, and signed by Jean Mensa herself, the EC pointedly told her that nothing would be done about the situation this year, suggesting to her to tell her constituents to wait till next year when registration of voters will be done in Constituencies with such challenges.“The Commission has taken note of your concerns in the Afram North Constituency. We wish to inform you that the Commission will undertake registration in difficult-to-reach areas including yours next year. We wish you the best,” the EC letter read.The EC has been much criticised for organising the limited Voter Registration exercise, which seeks to capture first-time voters, in only its district offices. But the EC has defended its actions, explaining among others that voting is not compulsory even if it’s a right.EC Reply to the MP for Afram Plains North Constituency below:Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Leaked IGP Tape: More witnesses lined up to expose Dampare

Lawyers of Superintendent George Lysander Asare, one of the three police officers being investigated by a bipartisan parliamentary committee into an alleged plot to remove the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr George Akuffo Dampare, contained in a leaked tape, has petitioned the parliamentary committee to invite three witnesses to testify before it. The lawyers noted that the testimony of the witnesses will provide evidence that will substantiate claims Superintendent George Lysander Asare had made in the leaked tape that has become the subject of enquiry. According to them, Ishaw Yakubu(alias Boyo) and Samuel Ofori, both of Dzorwulu in Accra, will provide evidence that the IGP Dr George Akuffo Dampare has awarded a contract to Chief Bugri Naabu; that Bugri Naabu played a role in the appointment of the IGP to his current position; and that monthly payments are being made to Chief Bugri Naabu by Pay Master, COP Nketiah Frimpong on behalf of the IGP. The lawyers added that ASP Alhaji Bawah Abdul Jalil will provide proof that Dr George Akuffo Dampare and turned the Police Intelligence Directorate (PID) to his personal unit and that the PID has engaged in extra-judicial killings under the command of the IGP. “We would therefore be grateful if the above-named persons could be invited by the committee to testify. We have the instructions of our client to direct service of the summons to these intended witnesses,” the petition addressed to the Chairman of the Parliamentary Adhoc committee said. The parliamentary committee under the Chairmanship of Samuel Atta Akyea is to verify the authenticity or otherwise of the leaked tape and recommend as appropriate.

Kennedy Agyapong,” he said while speaking at the Church of Pentecost in America. He indicated that over the years, he has served the country and believes that it is time to lead after years of serving the people of Ghana.Kennedy Agyapong recalled his days as a taxi driver in the United States of America, indicating that his story should motivate others to be determined with their lives.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Alans contest in the 2024 election will make Mahamas victory easier Lecturer

A lecturer at Central University, Dr Okyere Ankrah, has indicated that John Dramani Mahama will win the 2024 election without much difficulty if Alan Kyeremanten decides to contest as an independent candidate. He says Alan Kyeremanten, regardless of withdrawing from the Flagbearership race of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has his followers who will vote massively for him should he decide to contest. Dr Okyere Ankrah says the decision to contest will have a toll on the governing NPP since people who will vote for Alan Kyeremanten would have voted for the NPP, which would give the seat to John Dramani Mahama easily.“If Alan Kyeremanten decides to contest, it will be a hurdle for the NPP. This will make the election an easy win for John Dramani Mahama. If Alan Kyeremanten gets 300,000 votes, that will be a problem for the NPP,” he said on Accra-based OKAY FM.Meanwhile, Alan Kyeremanten is set to communicate what he intends to do after exiting from the NPP flagbearership race.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Ive been declared President of Ghana already Kennedy Agyapong

New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer aspirant, Kennedy Agyapong is optimistic he will win the November 4 primaries of the party. He indicates that he will subsequently go into the 2024 elections, win the polls and be declared the President-elect of Ghana. The Assin Central lawmaker who is currently in the USA made this known when he worshipped with the Pentecost Church in New York after taking a short break from the rigorous campaign.“What the District Pastor said simply means I have won. He has declared me the President already and by his words it would surely happen. Whatever message God wants to give he passes through man”, he said at Sunday’s worship.He added “You all know what is ahead of me. I am contesting to be the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). What I want to plead with you is Ghana is at a crossroads and needs a man with vision, a man who is going to serve the country and not lord himself over his people, a servant of God who is going to sacrifice his life to make a difference in the country and it is Honorable Kennedy Agyapong”The businessman has consistently maintained that he is in a better position to beat John Dramani Mahama in the 2024 General Elections.He notes that the former President who lost the 2016 and 2020 General Elections has a record of managing the economy which was poorly done during his tenure.“John Dramani Mahama, who is my good friend, has baggage.

I am campaigning on my record as a businessman and there is evidence to show that I can create jobs and also manage the economy better,” he said on Kessben TV.Kennedy Agyapong is one of the four people including Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto and Francis Addai-Nimoh to contest in the party’s delegates congress on November 4, 2023, after the August 26 polls where he came second.At the balloting weeks ago, he picked number one and said it was an indication of his victory.“It is clear that I am the person God has chosen to lead the NPP.

The jocular and comical “I am the best performing VP” @MBawumia surprisingly has not been able to meet with or to engage with the protesters of #occupyjulorbihouse to at least defend his stewardship as chairman of the Police Council and head of the EMT. What a useless, no solid team! But one Sewing Machine replied “All this be settings. You don’t love Ghana. You came and did worse. You will come and steal more. You are just doing politics. You and them are no different”Ms Joyce Bawa who did not take kindly to the allegations hit back hard. “Have I ever stolen anything from you or your family please! If so let’s know so I can return it to Dont come to my page if you have no useful contribution to make!

OccupyJulorbiHouse: Arent you not ashamed? Imani VEEP asks Akufo-Addo

Vice President of think tank Imani Centre for Policy and Education (Imani Africa) Selorm Branttie has criticised President Nana Akufo-Addo for failing to address Ghana’s challenges as President suppressing demonstrations even with his own history as a person who demonstrated against Governments in the 70s and 90s. Mr Branttie recalled how Ghanaians were able to demonstrate freely under the Presidency of John Mahama but are now unable to do so freely under President Akufo-Addo. His remarks come in the wake of the arrest and brutalization of protesters as they gathered Thursday morning in Accra to embark on a protest over bad governance dubbed OccupyJulorbiHouse.“We did this in broad daylight and went to the jubilee house. We even presented petitions. We talked to the press, police commanders and all.Today, even these, we can’t do it.Yet instead of leading your people with the best and brightest to solve our problems, you are finding ways to take pensioners’ monies, beg for reparations from the slave trade, build open gravel pits in the name of false piety and enable a corrupt judiciary and weaponizing a bunch of thugs disguised as policemen and officers of the peace.Yet your claim to fame was rallying protests in the 70s and 90s.Are you not ashamed?” He quizzed.Scores of demonstrators, organised by Democracy Hub, were swiftly rounded up by officers of the Ghana Police Service for merely gathering to protest. The police accused them of acting unlawfully and violating the Public Order Act.However prominent legal practitioners have argued that the police had no legal basis for arresting them. The police said that they stopped the demonstration because they had filed an application for an injunction against the demonstrators, which they had served on the lawyers of the demonstrators.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Occupy Julorbi House Demo spokesperson weeps on TV after arrest and release of protesters

A Spokesperson person for Democracy Hub, organisers of the Occupy Julorbi House demonstration, Deborah Enyonam Dabor could not control her tears as he spoke about the brutalization protesters who were rounded up by the police suffered. Speaking in an interview with TV 3’s Alfred Ocansey on Ghana Tonight Thursday, September 21, 2023, she stated that the actions of the police in not just stopping the protest from taking place but going ahead to arrest them, brutalize them and detain them have left her feeling unsafe as a citizen of the country. In an emotional message to the Inspector General of Police (IGP)Dr George Akuffo Dampare, she appealed to him to stop pushing them to the wall since as protesters they are unarmed and are just holders of placards.“I am tired. We’re tired. You’re pushing us against the wall. We don’t want to fight. We don’t wanna fight! We’re just holding placards. Please, don’t push us to the wall. You’re beating us.

Competent EC Chairperson performing below expectations Prof Gyampo intimates

Outspoken Political Scientist Prof. Ransford Gyampo has mounted a spirited defense of Jean Mensa’s competence, extolling her successes as Executive Director of the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), a foremost policy think tank in Ghana. Prof Gyampo eloquently debunked assertions by legal practitioner Martin Kpebu that Jean Mensa’s management of the Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) as its chairperson demonstrates his long-held notion that she has always been incompetent in whatever position he has held. “As for her competence, I cannot sit as part of a programme to allow anyone to doubt it. She is a very competent person,” Prof Gyampo asserted on TV3‘s The Keypoints programme. He explained that after having worked with Jean Mensa at the IEA for fourteen years, he witnessed her ability to deliver on the job and can therefore vouch for her competence. He, however, explained that her below-par performance at the EC can be attributed to the fact that being EC Chairperson is a political appointment which comes with its own level of complexity.“It however appears that when you are given a political appointment, you must either reform the system or the system itself will reform you. And that one I may want to believe that maybe ever since she went to chair the Commission, certain things that we were expecting would have happened are not happening in a way and manner that we all expect,” Prof Gyampo conceded.The Electoral Commission’s insistence on conducting this year’s limited Voter Registration exercise, which seeks to add individuals who have just turned 18 years and persons who were unable to register at previous voter registration exercises, has provoked a lot of criticism from Ghanaians and called into question the competence of its leadership, especially its Chairperson Jean Mensa.The Commission, which has defended its decision to use only its district offices, commenced the exercise on September 12, 2023, and will end on October 2, 2023.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Bolga East Constituency: NPP betrayed me Rockson Bukari

New Patriotic Party (NPP) stalwart and former Upper East Regional Minister Rockson Bukari is optimistic about the chances of the party’s parliamentary candidate of the Bolgatanga East Constituency, Mathew Silas Amoah, winning the 2024 parliamentary election. He noted that even though some NPP members in the Constituency failed to give him the needed when he ran for the seat in 2012, he is confident that the youthful and philanthropic Mathew Silas Amoah will win the seat for the NPP for the first time. Mr Bukari made the remarks at the Popular Acclamation Ceremony of Matthew Silas Amoah as the Parliamentary Candidate for the Bolgatanga East Constituency on the ticket of the NPP for the 2024 General Elections held on September 10, 2023. “When I was running for the seat, there was no unity in the party[NPP]. My own people voted against him. I know them. They made Ayine[ the NDC candidate] beat me heavily….But our gods, our ancestors are fully behind him[ Mathew Silas Amoah]. He is going to win. You the young are the future. He is your age mate and he is here to help you. He is very generous. And so let’s support him. Vote for Silas Amoah as your MP,” he appealed. The Bolgatanga East Constituency was created in 2012 and has been held by the NDC’s Dr Dominic Ayine ever since. Mathew Silas Amoah is seen as a formidable opponent capable of winning the seat for the NPP. Source: MyNewsGh.com Thanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

COCOBOD CEO schools NDC MPs on international market Cocoa pricing

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) Joseph Boahen Aidoo has debunked assertions by the Minority Leader Cassiel Ato Forson and member of the Food, Agriculture and Cocoa Affairs Committee of Parliament,  Eric Opoku, to the effect that cocoa farmers deserved a higher price per bag of cocoa beans than the recently-announced GHC 1308. Hon. Cassiel Ato Forson and Eric Opoku had argued that the farmers deserved GHC 2800 and GHC 2500 respectively according to their calculations. But the CEO of COCOBOD has asserted that their calculations are erroneous. He emphasized that their calculations were wrong because they got the conversion from US Dollars to Ghana Cedis wrong and that they also did not take into account other costs paid for from the sale of cocoa beans to the World market.Joseph Boahen Aidoo explained how the Government arrived at the GHC 1308 price per bag for farmers while debunking the arguments of the stalwarts of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in a social media post:“Ato Forson claims the Spot price of $3600 is the basis for determining the producer price. In Cedi: @Hon Eric Opoku: GHC 2500 should be given to Farmers.  @Hon Ato Forson: GHC 2800 should be given to farmers.Put their inconsistencies aside.  Let’s do a reverse calculation to get a dollar per tonne.GHC 2800 multiplied by 16 (16 bags make a tonne) = 44,800 Change GHC 44,800 tonne into dollars = 44,800 / 11 (being the exchange rate from BOG)  You will get $4072.72So how does a conversion of $3600 to cedis per bag become $4072?They claim the spot price is $3600 so we should give GHC2800 to the farmer yet when you calculate it backwards, GHC 2800 a bag is $4072 a tonne.They even forget that there is industry cost involved.So apart from the price given to farmers, there’s industry cost:1. LBC COST2. Haulage cost3. Warehousing cost4. Cocobod cost ( Cocoa research, seed production cost, cocoa marketing cost, cocoa health and extension cost, etc). They need to go back to the classroom.”The issue of the price per bag of cocoa beans paid to Ghanaian farmers has become a topical following an announcement by the Government that the producer price of cocoa has been increased from GHC 800 to GHC 1308. The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has described the increment as a ripoff while the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has said the increase is good for farmers and will boost cocoa production.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Adwoa Safo always uses apology theatrics after failing at her work NPP Executive

An Executive of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Dome Kwabenya Constituency has said that Sarah Adwoa Safo is always fond of apologizing each time she fails at executing her mandate as a lawmaker. He says the Member of Parliament (MP) uses the trick of an apology to always get the constituency to vote for her. “This is not the first time Adwoa Safo is apologizing. I remember that in 2014, Sir John came to the constituency to plead on her behalf. She did a similar thing. After we voted for her, she did not return to the constituency.She did the same in 2018. She came to apologize to the people. She only comes back during primaries to ask for forgiveness,” he said.Member of Parliament(MP) for Dome Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo has rendered an unqualified apology to the New Patriotic Party (NPP), President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.It is unclear what may have triggered her latest decision but she is heard in a carefully recorded video posted on YouTube saying ” I want to render an apology to my political party, the New Patriotic Party. I also want to render an apology to the President, his Vice President, the Chief of Staff, and the entire leadership of Parliament.Apart from the party leadership, she used the opportunity to render an apology to her constituents and all members of the New Patriotic Party in her Constituency asking that she should be forgiven because she was going through a hard time in her family.“I am sorry, please forgive me for all that happened. All those who had hopes in me but I disappointed them please forgive me,” she said.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

I tick all the boxes to be Ghanas next presidential hopeful Prophet Kumchacha

Prophet Kumchacha, founder of the Kum People’s Party (KPP) has said he ticks all the boxes to contest for the presidency in 2024. According to Nicholas Osei who is the founder and leader of Heavens Gate Ministries, he meets the constitutional requirements to be the next president. He stated while speaking in an interview on Property FM that “I intend to contest for the presidency in 2024, and it’s said that when a seat becomes vacant, all eligible citizens are allowed to contest. “I’m a pure Ghanaian citizen because my mom hails from Akyem Apedwa in the Eastern Region and my Dad is an Ashanti,” he added on Property FM in Cape Coast. “The constitution of Ghana says that if you want to become a president or an MP you must satisfy some three basic requirements.He continued in the interview that MyNewsGh.com monitored that “First of all, you need to be 40 years old, you don’t have to be an ex-convict, and you must be of sound mind, and I’m 50 years old now.“By the grace of God, I have never been imprisoned before, and I have a very good and sound mind, so nothing prevents me from contesting to be elected president,” he said.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Your failure to crack the whip has made you unpopular Kweku Yeboah tells Akufo-Addo

Renowned Sports Journalist, Dan Kweku Yeboah has indicated that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s inability to crack the whip has made his government unpopular. On Thursday, September 14, 2023, Sarah Adwoa Safo rendered an unqualified apology in a video to Ghanaians for her untoward behaviour. She indicated that she had issues with her family that needed her attention, hence her decision to leave her position as Minister and Member of Parliament for a year. But reacting to the video, Dan Kweku Yeboah observed that such things are happening in the Akufo-Addo-led government because of the President’s failure to crack the whip. “People are angry with Akufo-Addo’s government because of his inability to crack the whip. The President should have galvanized the Majority in Parliament so she would be removed from Office.Some of these things are the reason why people see only the negatives in his government and not the good things his leadership has brought to the country,” he said.To him, Adwoa Safo will be shown the exit from Parliament with the kind of disrespect she displayed to the people of Ghana.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Renowned cardiothoracic surgeon and politician, Professor Kwabena Frimpong Boateng has written an open letter to the person who will succeed President Nana Akufo-Addo as President, detailing how other countries have been able to rally their people and fashioned out ways to develop their countries and wondering if the person will succeed in getting Ghanaians to set their minds to nation-building and get the country to join the league of developed nations. Prof Frimpong Boateng, who is widely respected for his stellar leadership both in the medical field and in politics, bemoaned Ghana’s poor performance economically after the overthrow of Kwame Nkrumah, the country’s first leader. Prof Frimpong Boateng noted that the next leader has a Herculean task far weightier than the task given to Ghana during its independence in 1957.For the country to develop, he pointed out, there will be the need for a leader who has the zeal, commitment, and conviction to fight against his or her own weaknesses as well as the challenges that confront the nation.Prof Frimpong Boateng advised that Ghana’s new leader can learn from best practices in good governance from places such as Singapore, Korea and China.He asserted that the country, since Nkrumah has not had a leader that is willing to sacrifice for the wholesome development of the country.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Forgive me Teary Adwoa Safo embarks on a begging spree

Member of Parliament(MP) for Dome Kwabenya, Sarah Adwoa Safo has rendered an unqualified apology to the New Patriotic Party (NPP), President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia. The former Deputy Majority Leader requested for leave of absence in 2021 to attend to personal issues but in a statement dated Wednesday, October 6, 2021, signed and issued by the Director of Communications at the Presidency, Mr Eugene Arhin, it was explained that Adwoa Safo’s leave was to have ended August 31, 2021, but was further extended indefinitely. She was subsequently stripped of her responsibilities as Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection following incessant complaints of her ineffectiveness as a lawmaker and an appointee.Efforts by Parliament’s Privileges Committee to get the legislator to give reasons for her continued absence from the House failed to yield any positive results.The committee had failed to achieve a consensus in its recommendations on whether absenting herself for more than the mandatory 15 days without permission warranted her seat being declared vacant.But in a video in the possession of MyNewsGh.com, the Legislator has rendered an unqualified apology to her political party, the President and all political actors who she hurt.It is unclear what may have triggered her latest decision but she is heard in a carefully recorded video posted on YouTube saying ” I want to render an apology to my political party, the New Patriotic Party. I also want to render an apology to the President, his Vice President, the Chief of Staff, and the entire leadership of Parliament.Apart from the party leadership, she used the opportunity to render an apology to her constituents and all members of the New Patriotic Party in her Constituency asking that she should be forgiven because she was going through a hard time in her family.“I am sorry, please forgive me for all that happened. All those who had hopes in me but I disappointed them please forgive me,” she said.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

OccupyJulorbiHouse Demo: Police scuttle protest; arrests conveners, others

Tens of protesters of the Democracy Hub, organisers of a protest against the Government dubbed “OccupyJulorbiHouse” have been arrested by the Ghana Police Service for congregating at the 37 Trotro Station in Accra on Thursday, September 21, 2023, ready to protest. The police then successfully scuttled the planned protest by dispersing onlookers and bystanders. The protesters, about fifty of whom have been arrested, sought to drum home their demands for good governance and an end to corruption of the political elite among others by marching to the seat of Government to present a petition to the Government. The police justified their scuttling of the protest and the arrest of some of the protesters on the basis that the service had obtained a court injunction to prevent the protesters from embarking on the protest. The protesters denied having received the injunction. The arrested persons, including FixTheCountry convenor Mawuse Oliver Barker-Vormawor, a key organiser of the protest, have been transported to the Police Headquarters in Accra.Meanwhile the seat of Government, The Jubilee House, has had its security beefed up, with heavily armed police officers standing at vantage points around building.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Limited Voter Registration: This is simply nonsensical Sammy Gyamfi tackles EC Boss

National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Sammy Gyamfi has described as nonsensical, preposterous and acceptable comments by the Director of Electoral Services of the Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC), Dr Serebuor Quaicoe, to the effect that persons unable to take advantage of the ongoing Limited Voter Registration exercise due to distance can defer their registration to next year when the EC organises other voter registration exercises. Dr Serebuor Quaicoe, while justifying the decision of the EC to conduct this year’s limited Voter Registration exercise at only its 268 district offices, noted that persons who live far away from the district offices and therefore will be unable to access the offices can wait till next year to register. “For those in hard-to-reach areas, we are only appealing to them to find a way to get to the district offices for registration. Otherwise, they would have to wait for next year. But even next year, we can’t be everywhere. It will depend on situations on the ground in terms of figures. Because we won’t say that, because we have to serve hard-to-reach areas, we will send our tools to just three people in a particular area,” Dr Quaicoe had said in an interview with Asempa FM’s Ekosiisen programme.But Sammy Gyamfi, in reaction, noted that that explanation is simply untenable given that the challenges of the ongoing registration exercise are a creation of the EC itself.He also noted that district assembly elections will be held this year and persons who obtain the voter identity cards will be qualified to vote and be voted for. So, telling them to wait till next year is simply disenfranchising them.“The ongoing limited voter registration is intended to capture persons who have turned 18 years or above unto the electoral roll in order to afford them the opportunity to vote in public elections and referenda, in line with article 42 of the Supreme Law of the Land.Persons registered, who are 21 years or above will have the right to contest in public elections. As a country, we have a major and important public election ahead of us this year- District/Municipal/Metropolitan Assembly and Unit Committee elections, 2023.This important election allows voters to choose leaders to represent them at the Assembly and Unit committee levels. Telling these eligible voters to defer their registration to next year, because of impediments you have deliberately and unreasonably put in their way, is tantamount to telling them to defer the exercise of their constitutional and inalienable right to vote in the upcoming Assembly and Unit Committee elections and/or contest to be elected in same.This is simply nonsensical, preposterous and unacceptable!” Mr Gyamfi wrote.He called on Ghanaians to rise up against “this obscene tyranny” of the EC.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Illegal financial flows: Return money to Africa Akufo-Addo to the West

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has criticised recipient nations of illegal financial flows from Africa for failing to return such tainted funds. He wondered why such nations would keep the illicit funds but turn around to accuse African countries, the source of the funds, as corrupt. The President demanded that Western countries and other recipient nations have an obligation to return the proceeds of illegal financial flows to the African countries that are the source of the funds. Delivering Ghana’s National Statement at the 78th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, the President suggested that to deal with the menace of illegal financial flows from Africa, there was a need for a collaboration between the African Union and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) under the umbrella of the United Nations.“Yes, those monies too must be returned to the continent. It is difficult to understand why the recipient countries are comfortable about retaining such funds and are happy to call those countries from whom the monies are taken as corrupt,” The President demanded.African countries lose more than $88 billion annually in illegal financial flows. This has negatively affected the economic development of Africa. Notwithstanding efforts by African Governments to tackle it, the canker persists and is getting worse year after year.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Your insults, attacks on Bawumia wont win you the election Dr Boako

The spokesperson for Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr Gideon Boako, has bemoaned the incessant vicious attacks and insults on the person of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia by other aspirants in the flagbearership race of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). Dr Boako, while commending Dr Bawumia for taking the insults and attacks in his stride, noted that such actions by his opponents will not win them the flagbearership race. He stressed that despite the denigration, Dr Bawumia remains focused on his campaign, and is in pole position to win the November 4, 2023 National Delegates Conference and lead the NPP into the 2024 General Elections. Dr Boako called out supporters of Kennedy Agyapong for continuing with attacks and insults on Dr Bawumia, something Alan Kyeremanten’s supporters had begun. For him, no amount of insults or attacks will prevent Dr Mahamudu Bawumia from winning the race.Full statement below:Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is a good man. Yes, he is a good man. In the flagbearer elections campaign, Dr Bawumia is the most attacked, the most abused, the most vilified, the most disrespected, the most denigrated, and what and what, but he is still calm and very focused.He has not been responding to his attackers and has not shown any sign of the same. I wonder how many of his competitors can do the same. Interestingly, those exhibiting such abusive attitudes against the Veep are the ones crying the most. How interesting it is. First, it was Alan’s supporters. Now it is Ken and his supporters, but Bawumia still remains calm.They even are not ashamed to lie about the dead mother of the Veep. Really? It is shocking how politics can get us to even lose our respect for the dead. Let them continue, and they will lose and lose big and come and cry like hungry babies with no parents.The reality is that NPP delegates know what time it is, and they choose their leaders recognizing the dynamics of the times and seasons.I can understand the desperation and frustration in some of the aspirants, hence the needless attacks. But let it be told that their insults and attacks on the person of the Vice President and his family can not win them the elections. What didn’t we see or hear before the superdelegates and what happened?I thought they said the Grassroots are for them. Why not go to them to campaign? Dr Bawumia is a serious campaigner. Despite the clear signs on the wall, he has been busily focusing on his campaign and crisscrossing the country, sometimes traversing multiple regions in a day. Some people will not focus and be serious about their campaign but only insult, and when they lose, they say what!Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Soldiers resisting political interference end careers prematurely Ex-Army Officer

Ex-army officer John Kwame Jabari has stated that any professional soldier who refuses to do what political authority instructs them to do suffers heavily for it. He stressed that failing to carry out orders of politicians, even if such orders are against the professional code of the army, is not countenanced by politicians and they will go to great lengths to get punished if you dare oppose them. He said that whether at committee level or operational levels, politicians always want to have their way and they feel angered when strong-willed professional soldiers say no to them for the benefit of the army as a whole.Captain Jabari, who made the revelations in an interview with Ultimate FM, emphasized that the consequences for saying no to politicians are always mistreatment, unnecessary transfers and in extreme cases, hounding out of the service.He blamed the situation on the fact that the appointment of the army’s leadership is in the hands of politicians. Such political appointees are always expected to hold a certain allegiance to the appointor even if things are not done in the proper way. “The issues are all about leadership. As long as, we have the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) is appointed by the political authority, you can always know his political ideology or lineage When almost all the service commanders are appointed by a political authority and their role is to ensure that the appointing authority or the governments succeeds. So if the government or the appointing authority says we are going this direction, it is very difficult to say we are going the other direction,” he lamented. “If you don’t follow that,” he continued, “or if you suggest something different you are either removed or transferred to another place. If you say no, they can get somebody who will come and say yes. If you get those in the army who will say no, the next day you are not there,” he added.To correct the anomaly and allow the military to perform optimally, he suggested that political appointments of the top hierarchy of the armed forces must done away with and replaced with a process that allows the armed forces themselves to appoint their leaders. “The system itself must be allowed to appoint its own leadership. So it has more control to stand its ground,” he suggested.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Old African leaders not awake to the realities in their countries NDCs Jabari

The Ashanti Regional National Democratic Congress (NDC) First Vice Chairman, John Kwame Jabari, has hit hard at ageing African leaders, saying that their old age is making them distant from the realities in their countries. Naming leadership in Cameroon and Nigeria, the politician said that allowing such old individuals to remain in office affects the governance style of their respective African countries as they lack the needed energies to keep up with the ever-changing trends in governance. Speaking on Kumasi-based Ultimate FM, Mr Jabari bemoaned the long stay in office of these leaders and their unproductive leadership styles that have now occasioned upheavals on the continent. “The African leaders have not caught up with the realities of the way the world’s systems are changing. There must be a system of accountability and letting the better system also get to the poor.Look at Gabon. Look at Cameroun, the person has been there. He is 90 years and nothing is changing and he is still there. These governments have been around for twenty years, thirty years, there is a vast gap between the rich and the poor,” he said.He noted that their unproductive but long stay in power will eventually force people to force them out of power as is being witnessed in some countries.“There are issues with accountability and corruption. How long can you suppress the will of the people? It can take time but the people will revolt against you someday and that is what is happening” he argued.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Limited Voter Registration exercise just a mop-up; others will be done EC Chairperson

Chairperson of the Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC), Mrs Jean Mensa, has assured the Ghanaian public that it has no intention of disenfranchising any eligible voter, explaining that persons who are uncertain of being captured in the ongoing voter registration exercise should rest assured that there will be opportunities in the future for them to register. She stressed that the ongoing Limited Voter Registration exercise being conducted at only its 268 district offices is just a mop-up exercise of the 2020 mass registration exercise and that every qualified voter will eventually get captured. She debunked criticism that their insistence in conducting the exercise at only its district offices was to favour one political party or another by disenfranchising some voters. Addressing a press conference on Monday, September 18, 2023, in response to criticism of the ongoing Limited Voter Registration exercise, Ms Jean Mensa emphasized that it has no plans at all to suppress voter registration whatsoever. “As a Commission, we are working around the clock to ensure that every eligible voter or person who is eligible to register does so with ease. We have heard allegations from various quarters that the Commission is disenfranchising eligible voters. And this is false,” he noted.“It is not in our interest,” she continued, “to disenfranchise any eligible voter. We pride ourselves that our voter register meets international best practices. We are well aware that the Commission’s policy to use our 268 district offices as registration centres have attracted some criticism from some section of society and as you are all aware, the Commission conducted a full-blown registration exercise in some 33,000 plus polling stations in 2020 and it is important to note that the current exercise is an update of the register.”The EC has been much criticised by several civil society organizations (CSOs) and political parties for insisting that the Limited Voter Registration exercise will be done only at its district offices.The National Democratic Congress (NDC) and four other political party, that have sued the EC before the Supreme Court, had sought to injunct the exercise from proceeding but failed.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Im in a better position to floor Mahama with his poor record Kennedy Agyapong

Flagbearer aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Kennedy Agyapong has said that he is in a better position to beat John Dramani Mahama in the 2024 General Elections. He notes that the former President who lost the 2016 and 2020 General Elections has a record of managing the economy which was poorly done during his tenure. “John Dramani Mahama, who is my good friend, has baggage. I will beat him in every election. He has a track record of managing the economy, and it is nothing to write home about. I am campaigning on my record as a businessman and there is evidence to show that I can create jobs and also manage the economy better,” he said on Kessben TV. Kennedy Agyapong is one of the four people including Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto and Francis Addai-Nimoh to contest in the party’s delegates congress on November 4, 2023, after the August 26 polls where he came second. At the balloting last week, he picked number one and said it was an indication of his victory.“It is clear that I am the person God has chosen to lead the NPP. If you believe in the Bible… because everywhere I go, Kennedy Agyapong is number one. It is a clear indication that I should be given a chance to lead this country.”Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

NPP lost 2024 elections in 2022 Kennedy Agyapong

Member of Parliament for Assin Central and Flagbearer aspirant Kennedy Agyapong says the New Patriotic Party lost the 2024 election in 2022. He says the political party in power failed the people of Ghana when it mattered most and they needed them. “NPP lost the 2024 election in 2022. When the cedi depreciated and affected businessmen and even tomato sellers, Ghana’s people decided to vote against the NPP. When the bonds of people in the middle class faced challenges, the people decided When pensioners were ill-treated and their money stuck, they decided to vote against the NPP. Anytime there is hardship and the people decide not to talk, it means they will vote against the NPP,” he said at a rally after his health walk. However, he indicated that he is the David of our time and will save Ghana.“Where there is no hope, there is life there. NPP and Ghanaians where we have reached, Kennedy Agyapong is your David. Brave David fought with wild animals that attempted devouring his flock reason he was chosen as King of Israel. Today there is only one brave person in the NPP and he is the man who is destined to lead this country. He is Honourable Kennedy Agyapong”, he disclosed.Kennedy Agyapong is one of the four people including Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto and Francis Addai-Nimoh to contest in the party’s delegates congress on November 4, 2023, after the August 26 polls where he came second.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

2024 Polls: Alan Cash partners CPPs Greenstreet?

Hon John Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, the immediate-past Minister for Trades and Industry, who officially announced to Ghanaians on September 5, 2023, that he had withdrawn from the race to elect a 2024 presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is likely to pick Ivor Kobina Greenstreet, a renowned lawyer from Kwame Nkrumah’s Convention People’s Party (CPP) as his running mate for the December 7, 2024 presidential polls media reports suggest. Ivor Greenstreet contested as presidential candidate of the CPP for both the 2016 and 2020 elections but performed rather poorly and his party currently has no seat in Parliament. Mr. Greenstreet has also served as General Secretary of the CPP twice and contested as the party’s Parliamentary candidate twice. He never entered Parliament. Greenstreet has consistently campaigned on the mantra of a “Ghanaian Dream.” Details remain sketchy on the exact ticket on which the Alan Cash cum Greenstreet 2024 collaboration would be flying but the announcement is expected to be made public in the coming weeks.Kyerematen himself, on September 5, had told the world that: “In the next upcoming weeks, I will provide an indication of the role that I will play in politics in Ghana..,”Political pundits do not give the two any chance of winning the 2024 presidential race, There are suggestions that Alan Kyerematen may walk away with a margin of NPP votes if he truly contests the 2024 race.The said margin, if any, would not be much considering the fact that already, some of his most vocal and strategic campaigners who were at the forefront with him when he was eyeing the NPP flag, have started to  abandon him after he cried foul and chickened out while fuming and grumbling like a spoilt child whose favourite toy had been taken from himMember of Parliament for Bortianor-Ngleshie Amanfro constituency in the Greater Accra and a well-known member of the Alan for President campaign, Sylvester Tetteh, has refused to move with him.Tetteh has remained in the NPP and publicly announced that he has joined the campaign of the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, ahead of the NPP’s presidential primaries on 4 November 2023.Mr. Kyerematen is gradually becoming a deserted lone ranger as another heavyweight from his camp, Catherine Abelema Afeku who hitherto served as a senior spokesperson for the Alan 2024 Campaign has also declined to be a part of his walk-away train and remained with the NPP, now campaigning for Team Bawumia Must Win.Madam Afeku, a communications expert per excellence, has filed forms to be elected as the parliamentary candidate of the NPP in the Evalue Ajomoro Gwira Constituency for the 2024 elections.Mr. Kyerematen, in his Tuesday, September 5, 2023, blamed his eleventh-hour chickening out of the race on what he described as an “unprecedented” high “level of intimidation of varying intensity, directly and indirectly, unleashed on a significant number of Delegates at various Voting Centers across the sixteen regions” of the country when the NPP held its August 26, 2023 Super Delegates Conference to shortlist the number of wannabe flag-bearers from ten to 5.“In the next upcoming weeks, I will provide an indication of the role that I will play in politics in Ghana, after consultations with my family and other well-wishers, various stakeholders and interest groups”, Mr. Kyerematen noted in his press statement but did not give details on the said future.The NPP has since accepted his withdrawal letter.Party General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, in a statement, said that both the Elections and the Disciplinary Committees have initiated comprehensive investigations into all reported incidents of violations and infractions alleged to have occurred at various voting centres during the Super Delegates election last month.The statement assured all persons found culpable of any wrongdoing will be held accountable.Alan Kyerematen alias Alan Cash, placed a surprising third with a total of 95 votes representing 10.29 percent at the said August 26 Super Delegates Conference which had some 961 delegates of the party voting.He was beaten by first-time entrant, Kennedy Agyapong, who gathered 132 votes to represent 14.3 percent.The Vice President, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, also a first-time entrant, won a landslide comfortable lead with a total vote of 629 representing 68.15 per cent of all valid votes.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Im the David to rescue Ghana Kennedy Agyapong

New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Kennedy Agyapong has likened himself to the David in the Bible indicating that he has been ordained to rescue Ghana from its current quagmire. The Assin Central lawmaker quoting portions of the First Book of Samuel 16-31 to justify why he is the Savior said “God told Samuel that he had chosen a new king for Israel. The new king was to be one of the sons of Jesse. When Samuel saw the sons he thought the Lord would want Jesse’s oldest son to be the king. Instead, the Lord chose the youngest son, David, who was out tending the sheep. Samuel anointed David as the new king but it would be many years before the time was right for David to take Saul’s place. The Lord chose David even though he did not look as big and handsome as his older brothers. The Lord does not judge by outward appearance but by the heart” Addressing patrons of his maiden Show Down Walk, he indicated that Ghana is at a crossroads and he is the one ordained by God to salvage the situation.“Where there is no hope, there is life there. NPP and Ghanaians where we have reached, Kennedy Agyapong is your David. Brave David fought with wild animals that attempted devouring his flock reason he was chosen as King of Israel. Today there is only one brave person in the NPP and he is the man who is destined to lead this country. He is Honourable Kennedy Agyapong”, he disclosed.Kennedy Agyapong is one of the four people including Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto and Francis Addai-Nimoh to contest in the party’s delegates congress on November 4, 2023, after the August 26 polls where he came second.At the balloting last week, he picked number one and said it was an indication of his victory.“It is clear that I am the person God has chosen to lead the NPP. If you believe in the Bible… because everywhere I go, Kennedy Agyapong is number one. It is a clear indication that I should be given a chance to lead this country.”He highlighted that he drew the number one spot in the super delegates’ election and has once again drawn number one in the upcoming party congress.These occurrences, he believes, offer undeniable proof of his presidential destiny.“The signs are clearly on the wall that if you vote for Kennedy Agyapong, he will definitely lead this country and break the eight.”Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Asenso Boakye exposes Kennedy Agyapongs lies

Member of Parliament for Bantama, Hon Asenso Boakye has taken a swipe at Kennedy Agyapong.

Limiting registration to district offices meant to prevent Togolese, others from registering EC

The Director of Electoral Services at the Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) Dr Serebuor Quaicoe has defended the EC’s decision to restrict the limited Voter Registration exercise to its district offices, explaining that rather than a way of suppressing voter registration, the aim is to prevent foreigners from getting onto the sacred voters’ register. Dr Quaicoe, who has expertise in elections, especially in Sub-saharan Africa and holds a PhD in Economics from the University of Cape Coast, noted that with the district offices, foreigners will be afraid to go there to register or will be easily identified and prevented from registering, unlike at decentralised places like electoral areas where the EC will be incapacitated in identifying these foreigners and flushing them out. He added that just like his boss, the Chairperson of the EC Jean Mensa, did when she was the head of a civil society organization, it is easier to advocate for the decentralisation of the registration process but in practice limiting it to the district offices will prevent foreigners from registering, thereby protecting the sanctity of the Voters’ Register.He mounted the defence of the EC’s decision on Multimedia’s Newsfile programme today, Saturday, September 16, 2023.“For the media and the CSOs, your attention is: Register them! Register them! Register them! That is the focus of the media and the CSOs. And probably, that may be the reason why maybe you’re quoting my chair, at that time when she was the leader of a CSO.But when you come into the kitchen that is where you see that your responsibility changes.The thinking of the Commission is that it is to register people and also to protect the sanctity of the register. That is very, very important that nobody is talking about. You’re going to compile the voters’ register that would be used to determine who leads Ghana on all fronts. What goes into the register should be something that should not bring about issues,” he explained.The limited Voter Registration exercise is currently taking place at the 268 district offices of the EC. The exercise, which began on September 12, 2023, will come to a close on October 2, 2023.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

It annoys me when people say judges are partisan Former CJ Sophia Akuffo

A Former Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo has criticised former President John Mahama for saying that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has packed the judiciary with judges inclined to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and that when he becomes President again, he would also make appointments to ‘balance’ those made by President Akufo-Addo. Justice Sophia Akuffo, who served as a judge for many years before she was appointed Chief Justice by President Akufo-Addo, wondered whether when John Mahama was President he also appointed judges inclined to the National Democratic Congress (NDC), adding that the former President’s comments have a potential to undermine the judiciary. Speaking in a recent interview with Accra-based Asaase Radio, Ms. Akuffo noted that he found partisan accusations against judges upsetting. “He[ former President John Mahama] has been through the process of appointing other people before. So was it that because they were NDC?” She quizzed. ‘It always,’ she continued, ‘upsets me when you get comments like: “Oh! This one is the NPP judge “Oh! This one is NDC”. And yet you have never seen the person on any party’s rally or platforms…And these are some of the unnecessary pressures that are put on the judiciary. What difference will that tag make to me, my career and my work?’ She wondered. Former President John Mahama had accused President Akufo-Addo of accusing so many judges into the superior courts of the country, asking lawyers inclined to the NDC to ready themselves for appointments to the bench when he becomes President again. But President Akufo-Addo hit back at him, saying that his criticism was unhealthy for the judiciary.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Limited Voter Registration: Ghanaians not living up to their billing as warriors Martin Kpebu

Celebrated lawyer Martin Luther Kpebu has stated that Ghanaians must accept part of the blame for how dictatorial and intransigent the Electoral Commission of Ghana has become, arguing that the failure of Ghanaians to rise up and fight for their rights is what has emboldened the EC to engage in a blatant disregard for the law with regards to the ongoing Limited Voter Registration exercise. He noted that the name Ghana, which means warrior king, is an indication that Ghanaians are bold people who fight against lawlessness and unreasonable behaviour. Unfortunately, he lamented, Ghanaians don’t seem to be meeting the expectations as warriors for good causes. Speaking on TV 3’s political and current affairs show, The Keypoints today, Mr Kpebu, who is much respected for securing landmark rulings on constitutional matters from the Supreme Court, bemoaned the apparent docility and lack of engagement of Ghanaians in the face of brazen violations of their rights. “Do we act as warriors?The EC is bullying us but we’re quiet. The EC is bullying us but we’re quiet because of our selfish aims. Look, very soon I will campaign that let’s just change the name Ghana because we don’t act one bit like warriors [let alone warrior kings]. No! We don’t! Because this is a blatant constitutional aberration,” he lamented on the programme. The Electoral Commission of Ghana ( EC) under the leadership of Jean Mensa, a lawyer and former activist for good governance, against protestations from civil society and several political parties have embarked on a limited Voter Registration exercise, to capture first-time voters, using only their 268 district offices. Political watchers and many civil society organizations in the governance space have described the action as untenable and a way to suppress voters. The EC has however defended its decision, saying it’s meant to prevent foreigners from registering.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Leaked IGP tape: NPP disowns COP Alex Mensah

Communications Director of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Richard Ahiagbah has rebuffed suggestions that COP George Alex Mensah (rtd), who has admitted to being sympathetic to the cause of the NPP, was allegedly plotting to remove the Inspector General of Police (IGP) for the sake of the NPP. Mr Ahiagbah, speaking on TV 3’s The Keypoints programme Saturday, September 16, 2023, noted that COP Alex Mensah’s involvement in an alleged plot to oust IGP, contained in the leaked tape, so he could succeed him cannot be construed to be in the interest of the NPP, stressing that it was merely a personal ambition of his which had no connection whatsoever with the NPP as a political party. “What is happening is clearly an individual’s ambition to advance his interest. It has nothing to do with the NPP or the government. It is a certain COP’s ambition to be IGP. And appears to be saying things to advance that interest because of Bugri Naabu’s proclivity to the President. So that’s how this matter should be seen,” he explained.The leaked tape, which is the subject of probe by a parliamentary ad-hoc committee, contains a recording of three senior police officers in discussion with the former Regional Chairman of the NPP on how to oust the current Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dr George Akuffo Dampare. The discussion lamented how the IGP will not help the NPP to win the upcoming 2024 General Elections among others.Even though COP Alex Mensah has admitted that he is a sympathiser of the NPP due to his family background, the NPP through its Director of Communications, has emphasized that he was not seeking to be IGP because of the NPP.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

I was hounded out of the army by NPP elements Captain John Jabari

A retired Military Officer, Captain(retired) John Kwame Jabari, in an exclusive interview, revealed that his career as a soldier was cut short due to political witch-hunting by New Patriotic Party (NPP) elements in the Ghana Armed Forces. Speaking with Cup of Tea host, Julius Caesar Anadem on Ultimate FM monitored by MyNewsGH.com, the now-politician said the nature of the hounding was so intense, that he had to quit before he was framed negatively. Captain Jabari said, that during his military days, he was hard on the fight against galamsey, accepting no nonsense from perpetuates of the crime including NPP politicians which made them uncomfortable hence a ploy to frustrate him in the service.  “When I was leaving the military, politics was part of it. Yes, I was being hounded out. Some people thought this was the time to take their pound of flesh, by politicians” “The genesis of my problem was that I led the anti-galamsey taskforce in the Ashanti region for almost like six or seven years. When they came, they said let’s take him out of the Ashanti region and take me to the jungle warfare at Achiase. That was the start of it, after they had done that, they started John did this, John did that, he did this against this our person, so what are we going to do about that”, he narrated. The NDC politician noted that, after careful evaluation of the situation and his own personal intelligence, he felt it would be better to resign honourably from the army with his name high and integrity intact. “I wrote to them and now wanted to leave because I could see people had conspired to get me out and the point was that either you leave or you get sent out for the wrong reason. Because they could do so much that you get to a certain point where you will react. Based on your reaction, they can accuse you of something and get you sacked”, he disclosed Since quitting the military, Captain John Kwame Jabari, is now actively involved in NDC politics in the Ashanti Region, eventually being elected as its first vice chairman in 2022 with a resounding victory. He has promised to aid the NDC in winning the 2024 general elections with a convincing victory in the Ashanti Region.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Apology accepted but dont think of contesting for MP again NPP tells Adwoa Safo

The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Dome-Kwabenya Constituency has stated that even though it accepts the unqualified apology rendered by its Member of Parliament (MP) Sarah Adwoa Safo, she must abandon plans to contest the parliamentary seat again if that is her intention for apologising unreservedly for her absence from Parliament and the consequences it had on the NPP. The Dome-Kwabenya executives of the party lauded her for apologising but advised that she allow a new parliamentary candidate to run on the ticket of the party in the upcoming 2024 General Elections. “She has done something positive and the party welcomes her apology,” Deputy General Secretary of the party Haruna Mohammed indicated. Earlier this week, Adwoa Safo apologized copiously to the party for absenting herself from Parliament for a prolonged period. Her absence in Parliament negatively affected the party’s ability to push government bills through Parliament due to the near-hung nature of the Parliament. Party supporters had even called on Parliament and their party to take steps to declare her seat vacant. But it did not materialise. Now though she has apologized for hurting the party and asked for forgiveness from both the party leadership and ordinary Members.

Incompetent Jean Mensa got EC job because of her relationship with First Lady Martin Kpebu

Celebrated private legal practitioner Martin Luther Kpebu has slammed the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) for failing to listen to calls for the expansion of the limited voter registration exercise to electoral areas and going ahead to start the exercise at the district offices of the EC. Mr. Kpebu accused her of actively engaging in voter suppression and blatantly violating the constitution of the country. For him, she is dictatorial and all these point to her being incompetent to hold the position as chairperson of the Electoral Management Body.These things they [the Electoral Commissioners led by the Chairperson] are doing just show that they are all incompetent. Look, I am not surprised. When Madam Jean Mensa was being appointed, I said it those days on Joy FM; this woman is not competent…it’s just cronyism. She’s related a bit to the First Lady. You see it. So that’s the connection. Family and friends business,” Martin Kpebu said on TV 3’s The Keypoints programme today [ Saturday, September 16, 2023].But outspoken Political Scientist Professor Ransford Gyampo, who also spoke on the programme promptly disagreed with him, saying that he had worked for fourteen years with Jean Mensa and can vouch for her competence.“As for her competence, I cannot sit as part of a programme to allow anyone to doubt it. She is a very competent person,” he stressed.Jean Mensa, the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission of Ghana (EC) is best known as a lawyer and former Executive Director of the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA).Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Bawumias position on the ballot has no significance; hes winning Gideon Boako

The Spokesperson for Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr Gideon Boako, has asserted that in an election, one’s position on the ballot paper has no significance on whether or not one will emerge victorious in the election. He noted that it is the voters that will eventually decide who wins an election and not the position of candidates or aspirants on the ballot paper Dr Boako made the argument after the four remaining aspirants to the flagbearer position of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) balloted for positions on the ballot paper for the November 4, 2023, National Delegates Conference of the party which will elect a flagbearer for the 2024 General Elections.Speaking to Citi FM Wednesday, Dr Boako was certain that the delegates could locate Dr Bawumia no matter his position on the ballot paper and would accordingly vote for him.“It doesn’t matter. Whoever is going to vote obviously knows the person he or she is going to vote for…And mind you, people have been number two in this country and won to become President.People have been number one and they have lost miserably.

Otumfuo hailed for destooling galamsey chiefs

The King of Asante, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has been hailed for his recent drastic measures taken against some of his sub-chiefs accused of engaging in illegal mining known in the local parlance as galamsey. Member of Parliament for Bosome Freho Constituency Hon Akwasi Darko Boateng praised Otumfuo over his decision  to destool some of his Chiefs over illegal activities Speaking to the media in an interview, the lawmaker accepted the fact that, galamsey in the area is destroying most water bodies hence a better way of managing the situation must be undertaken. “I’m happy that, the overlord of the Asante Kingdom Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II said he will destool any Chief who engages in illegal mining activity (galamsey). It is a good step that comes to support the decision by President Akufo-Addo to fight galamsey”, Hon Akwasi Darko Boateng. He also accused some Chiefs in the area of releasing lands to these illegal miners who keep destroying water bodies and forest reserves.“Some of the Chiefs who are bitterly complaining about the menace are the same people who release lands for these galamseyers”. He claimedOtumfuo Osei Tutu destools five ChiefsAsantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has so far destooled at least five chiefs in the full glare of the public for misconducting themselves.The reasons for destoolment of these Chiefs include their involvement in illegal sale of lands, mining activities popularly known as ‘galamsey’ and abandoning of stool and land issues.The five chiefs include Antoahene Nana Owusu Agyeman I who was destooled in May for sidestepping the Asantehene and delegating his nephew to take his position while Kwasohene Nana Nketia Bampon was destooled in June following an alleged payment of GH120,000 made to him to secure a vacant ‘Dikro’ stool at Kwaso and was also alleged to have been involved in the sale of multiple lands.The Bekwai-Abodomhene Nana Saforo Koto was destooled in August this year as a result of charges against him regarding his sale of lands to illegal miners; Nkonsohene Nana Osei Tiri II was destooled for disrespecting a ruling the Asantehene had made on land litigation and the Abuontemhene Nana Kwaku Duah III was destooled on Monday, August 21.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Leaked tape probe: Why Bugri Naabu swerved bi-partisan committee

It has come to light that Chief Daniel Bugri Naabu who had been scheduled to appear before the bi-partisan parliamentary committee probing the leaked tape about a plot to remove the Inspector General of Police(IGP) sought permission to absent himself so as to attend a National House of Chiefs meeting. Chairman of the Committee lawyer Samuel Atta Akyea after hearing the IGP’s side of the story announced that the committee only indulged Chief Bugri Naabu to attend the National House of Chiefs meeting on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, but that he was expected to appear before the committee tomorrow. “We had an issue with Bugri Naabu who said because of issues of chieftaincy, National House of Chiefs meeting, he couldn’t show up today. And we obliged him that he should come tomorrow. So tomorrow is a sitting of this committee,” Mr Atta Akyea said. Chief Bugri Naabu, a stalwart of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who has served as the party’s Northern Regional Chairman and remains very influential, was the first to appear before the committee. He admitted to recording the leaked tape and mentioned the individuals involved in the alleged plot. Today, the IGP gave his side of the story and answered questions from the committee. Proceedings continue tomorrow.Mr. Bugri Naabu was expected to reappear before the seven-member committee on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, for some intense interrogation.Though the witness who admitted making the recording of the purported leaked tape which has subsequently birthed other audiovisuals had been discharged by the committee when he made his first appearance, some details require he be brought back to face a second round of interrogation for his roles in the whole issue.Sources within the committee, reveal that some claims made by the witness turned out to be untrue considering the current turn of events and the emergence of some audiovisuals in which he was captured making shocking disclosures, his presence would be critical.Bugri Naabu confesses receiving GHc10k from police monthlyLate last week, the embattled witness in yet another leaked audio confessed to receiving Ghc10,000 monthly from the Ghana Police Service.Mr. Bugri Naabu in defense of the amount he receives, indicates that it is for his services of providing secret information to the police in his capacity as a paramount chief.The confession of Bugri Naabu was in response to a query from someone on the other end of a telephone conversation who described the chief as untruthful over certain claims.In the 5:40 minutes audio and many others that have since gone viral on social media, an angry NPP stalwart is heard saying in response to claims he receives GHc10,000 monthly from the Inspector General of Police (IGP), George Akuffo Dampare that. “It is the police who are paying me and not Dampare. I received Ghc10,000 from the police. I don’t know if it is coming from Dampare. They give me that amount for the security work I am doing as a paramount chief and when there is a problem I report to them”, he disclosedSource: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Leaked tape probe: I didnt play any role in recording the leaked tape IGP

The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dr George Akuffo Dampare had denied being behind the recording of the leaked tape in which three of his colleagues are heard allegedly plotting to remove him from office. Dr Dampare stated that he played no role at in the secret recording of the leaked tape which is now the subject of a bipartisan parliamentary probe following its leakage to the public. The Police Chief had been accused by the alleged conspirators – the three police officers heard in the leaked tape – of orchestrating and masterminding the secret recording of the conversation they had with Chief Daniel Bugri Naabu, a stalwart of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) who served as the NPP’s Northern Regional Chairman and who has admitted to secretly recording the leaked tape. Dr Dampare, taking his turn at the bipartisan parliamentary committee probing the leaked tape, noted that contrary to allegations that he worked in concert with Chief Bugri Naabu to secretly record them, he played no role whatsoever in the secret recording. He told the Vice Chairman of the Committee, who sought to know whether or not he had played a role, that he was not involved in the secret recording.The IGP also denied allegations that he is the worst IGP, enumerating some of the reforms he has undertaken and insisting that his colleagues caught up in the leaked tape ought to leave such a judgement to the good people of Ghana.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Alan Kyeremanten is retrogressive NPP Elder

Renowned Educationist, Mr. Robert Ajene has described former Minister of Trade and Industry, John Alan Kwadwo Kyeremanten as retrogressive. He wonders why the New Patriotic Party (NPP) continues to be too tolerant of the repetitive conduct of Mr. Alan Kyeremanten who has a penchant for always walking away. “In 2007, this same person, there was a similar case like this and he said he was walking away. This is the first thing that this man did.As we sit, nobody has seen a letter that he has written to withdraw his first one (resignation letter). And he came back and who received him back? And he is repeating that thing again,” he lamented“This is the same person now, something has happened, some committee has been set up to investigate the matter, they haven’t finished then you are withdrawing, like you did at first. In the first place, are you officially genuinely a member of the party?” the NPP Council Elder quizzed.He continued, “The NPP has been overly tolerant of him which I will say bravo to the NPP party. They have been very tolerant to accept you back and you are repeating this? The NPP is a very good party, considerate party”.Mr Alan Kyeremanten, last week announced his withdrawal from the flagbearership race of the NPP citing a concerted effort to favour one aspirant and violence and intimidation against his supporters in the recently-held super delegates conference. He added that he was going to let the public know what he intended to do next in his political career soon.The NPP expressed regret over his withdrawal, noting that it had done everything to ensure a level playing field for all aspirants and that investigations into the isolated case of violence against one of his supporters was underway.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Ghana has a shameless old man as President Suhuyini

Member of Parliament for Tamale North, Alhassan Suhuyini believes that Ghaa has a shameless old man as President. His comments come on the heels of the President’s claim that he doesn’t clear corrupt appointees. Suhuyini, who made his point known in a post shared via Facebook, said, “The man the Special Prosecutor identified as the Mother Serpent of Corruption says weytin? Did he really quote frm SP? Indeed we have a shameless Oldman as Prez”. President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, while speaking at the BAR Conference, said, “It is not my job to clear or convict any person accused of wrongdoing or of engaging in acts of corruption. That is the job of the courts and the law enforcement agencies”. He added, “my job is to act on allegations of corruption by referring the issue or issues to the proper investigative agencies for the relevant enquiry and action, including, if necessary, the suspension of the affected official, pending the conclusion of investigations. That is exactly what has been done since I assumed the mantle of leadership on January 7, 2017”. Source: MyNewsGh.com Thanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Dampare-Led Police Tried to Use Interdiction To Blackmail Witnesses Leaked Tape Cttee

The Ghana Police Service led by the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dr. George Akuffo Dampare has been fingered in witness tampering regarding the ongoing leaked tape hearing by parliament. According to the Chairman of the Committee, Samuel Atta Akyea Esq, just when the details of the testimony of the witnesses were about to be taken in-camera, the police announced their Interdiction. Atta Akyea said he believes the Interdiction was an attempt to blackmail and silence current witnesses and future witnesses to appear before the Committee.“No dispute about interference. It [Interdiction] was a raw and direct interference in the work of the Committee. The people who were interdicted were at the beginning of their testimony and were about to start going into testimony and you interdict them. It was an affront to democracy while they were beginning to testify in the matter” He said. He added: “I was very much surprised. When people elect to testify on oath on their own volition they don’t have a sword hanging on their heads so the Interdiction was as if to say if you come here and testify with the truth the powers that be will interdict you. If they knew they will be interdicted they wouldn’t have come. If you are not careful you are on the verge of Interfering with witnesses and blackmailing them or intimidating them. If you open your mouth now you will be interdicted…” Last week, the Ghana Police Service in a press statement announced the interdiction of three senior officers due to their involvement in a contentious audio recording, now under parliamentary scrutiny.However, in a new twist the same day with another press statement dated September 7, 2023, the police administration announced the suspension of the interdiction.“In order not to prejudice the ongoing probe [by Parliament], the Police administration has suspended their interdiction”, the press statement signed and issued by the Director of Police Public Affairs, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Grace Ansah-Akrofi explained. In the earlier press statement, the police administration said it has interdicted the three officers, namely Commissioner of Police (COP) Mr. George Alex Mensah, Superintendent Mr. Emmanuel Eric Gyebi, and Superintendent Mr. George Lysander Asare while further disciplinary procedures were being pursued in compliance with Police Service regulations.Atta Kyea said his Committee did not interfere with the police Interdiction although it was strange but said he was happy the police itself saw reason in reversing the decision. Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Is Alan Kyeremanten a genuine party member? NPP Elder quizzes

Stalwart of the governing New Patriotic Party(NPP) and member of the party’s Council of Elders in the Upper East Region, Robert Ajene has questioned the commitment of failed flagbearer hopeful Alan Kyeremanten to the cause of the NPP as is expected of every genuine member of the party. Mr Ajene chastised Alan Kyeremanten for his abrupt withdrawal from the ongoing NPP flagbearership contest, wondering why anyone would withdraw from a race midstream. Mr Ajene minced no words in stressing the NPP has been overly accommodating and tolerant of the unhelpful actions and inactions of Alan Kyeremanten.Speaking in a recent on Bolgatanga-based Dreamz FM, Mr Ajene cast doubt on even the membership of Alan Kyeremanten given that he reportedly resigned from the party in 2007 and there has not been any communication of him having rejoined the party even though the NPP has ever since accorded him the rights and privileges of a full member.“In 2007, this same person, there was a similar case like this and he said he was walking away. As we sit, this is the first thing that this man did.As we sit, nobody has seen a letter that he has written to withdraw his first one. And he came back and who received him back? And he is repeating that thing again…This is the same person now. Something has happened. Some committee has been set up to investigate the matter. They haven’t finished. Then you are withdrawing, like you did at first. In the first place, are you officially genuinely a member of the party?” He quizzed.In his estimation, the considerate and tolerant nature of the NPP is why Alan Kyeremanten has had the chance to withdraw again from such a crucial contest. “The NPP has been over-tolerant of him, which I will say bravo to the NPP party!  They have been very tolerant to accept you back and you are repeating this? The NPP is a very good party, considerate party,” he added.Last week, Alan Kyeremanten, a lead contender in the flagbearership race of the NPP for the 2024 General Elections, withdrew from the race, citing among others intimidation and violence against his supporters during the Super Delegates Conference that sought to reduce the number of aspirants from ten to five.His withdrawal has been met with mixed reactions from the NPP.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Bitter Dampare Running a Parallel Hitmen Unit In Police Service Rev. Owusu Bempah Alleges

The founder and leader of Glorious Word Power Ministry International, Rev Isaac Owusu Bempah has made damning allegations against the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr George Akuffo Dampare. Rev. Owusu Bempah is only the second figure to make these allegations against the Inspector General of Police after Paul Adom Otchere insinuated these claims weeks ago. According to Rev. Owusu Bempah, there is a Parallel Unit In the police service directly reporting to the IGP responsible for various operations which he alleges include killing. The pastor did not provide any evidence to support his claims. The pastor claims it is this unit that arrested him during his scuffle with priestess turned Evangelist Patricia Agradaa. The top pastor was speaking during a sermon on Sunday 10th September 2023. “I have heard that the IGP has a group in the police service and all they do is kill people. This group of policemen were the same people who came for me. “These sorts of things are going on in the police but everybody is quiet. I am letting NPP members know that this IGP would take you into opposition. It looks as if the NPP did not suffer to win power,” he said in Twi. Owusu Bempah Arrest and Kusi Boateng Our readers will recall how in 2021, police officers acting on orders alleged to be directly from the IGP handcuffed Rev Isaac Owusu Bempah on his hospital bed Monday after the clergyman was admitted after his arrest. The IGP was said to be at the birthday party of embattled Victor Kusi Boateng with Vice president Bawumia when he gave the orders. Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah was admitted to the Police Hospital Outpatient Unit and was examined by a Medical Doctor without handcuff. He was also brought to the hospital without handcuff but after minutes of being allocated a bed with an armed police officer stationed by his side, “an order from above” came to have him handcuffed to the bed which news MyNewsGh.com was first to publish and went viral as a result of our publication. After numerous calls were placed to higher-ups in the political space by Rev. Owusu Bempah’s camp, the handcuff was removed after a further reinforcement of 7 armed police commandos were deployed to the hospital by another order from above. This created a scene at the police hospital as NPP political figures such as Hopeson Adorye and Ernest Owusu Bempah of Ghana Gas among others had stormed the police hospital to check on their pastor Owusu Bempah. In the ensuing confrontation between the police and the visiting faction led by Hopeson Adorye, some of the armed police officers threatened to shoot off the head of Hopeson Adorye if he took one step. This is after the police officers said they have an order to remove the drip on Rev. Owusu Bempah and take him back to his holding cells but which Hopeson Adorye and others resisted as they believe the man needed medical care. The standoff which lasted for several minutes saw the handcuff placed back on Rev. Owusu Bempah as he was driven top Earlier, MyNewsGh.com understands efforts by John Boadu, General Secretary of the NPP to get Rev. Owusu Bempah bailed out the Dansoman police station was refused by the police based on “orders from high above” in the police service. Further intervention by Ama Busia, an elderly stalwart of the New Patriotic Party to get Rev. Owusu Bempah out also proved futile. In a last-ditch attempt, the NPP fell on lawyer Gary Nimako, an astute legal brain to help save an embattled Rev. Owusu Bempah.‘Tell Dampare to forgive me’ In an emotional message, Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah is quoted by a trusted source who was with him at the hospital as having told him ” to tell Dampare to forgive him if he has offended him”. Rev. Owusu Bempah believes that the Acting IGP may have an axe to grind with him hence his tightening of the noose around his neck. Several police officers deployed to Rev Isaac Owusu Bempah did confirm that the Acting IGP is the one giving the orders on the Rev. Owusu Bempah case. Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Isaac Owusu Bempah was admitted to the Police Hospital Outpatient Unit and was examined by a Medical Doctor without handcuff. He was also brought to the hospital without handcuff but after minutes of being allocated a bed with an armed police officer stationed by his side, “an order from above” came to have him handcuffed to the bed which news MyNewsGh.com was first to publish and went viral as a result of our publication. After numerous calls were placed to higher-ups in the political space by Rev. Owusu Bempah’s camp, the handcuff was removed after a further reinforcement of 7 armed police commandos were deployed to the hospital by another order from above. This created a scene at the police hospital as NPP political figures such as Hopeson Adorye and Ernest Owusu Bempah of Ghana Gas among others had stormed the police hospital to check on their pastor Owusu Bempah. In the ensuing confrontation between the police and the visiting faction led by Hopeson Adorye, some of the armed police officers threatened to shoot off the head of Hopeson Adorye if he took one step. This is after the police officers said they have an order to remove the drip on Rev. Owusu Bempah and take him back to his holding cells but which Hopeson Adorye and others resisted as they believe the man needed medical care. The standoff which lasted for several minutes saw the handcuff placed back on Rev. Owusu Bempah as he was driven top Earlier, MyNewsGh.com understands efforts by John Boadu, General Secretary of the NPP to get Rev. Owusu Bempah bailed out the Dansoman police station was refused by the police based on “orders from high above” in the police service. Further intervention by Ama Busia, an elderly stalwart of the New Patriotic Party to get Rev. Owusu Bempah out also proved futile. In a last-ditch attempt, the NPP fell on lawyer Gary Nimako, an astute legal brain to help save an embattled Rev. Owusu Bempah. ‘Tell Dampare to forgive me’ In an emotional message, Rev. Isaac Owusu Bempah is quoted by a trusted source who was with him at the hospital as having told him ” to tell Dampare to forgive him if he has offended him”. Rev. Owusu Bempah believes that the Acting IGP may have an axe to grind with him hence his tightening of the noose around his neck. Several police officers deployed to Rev Isaac Owusu Bempah did confirm that the Acting IGP is the one giving the orders on the Rev. Owusu Bempah case. Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

What Stupidity Is This? How Mahama Reacted to Akufo-Addos Bar Speech on G.O.1.

President Akufo-Addo has reactivated public discussion on a subject described by former President Mahama as a “stupidity”. Akufo-Addo made the comments at the Bar Conference where he insinuated John Mahama was ‘Government Official 1’ among other remarks. But it will be recalled the Former President John Mahama replied the then Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu or anyone who claims he is GO1 may be dabbling in stupidity. Akufo-Addo didn’t appear to be perturbed at the Bar Conference.“Not only are these concepts of ‘NPP’ and ‘NDC’ judges new in our public discourse, they are also extremely dangerous, and represent the most brazen attack on the independence of the judiciary by any allegedly responsible politician of the 4th Republic. They provide another reason, if more were needed, why right-thinking citizens should ensure the defeat in 2024 of the man whom the first Special Prosecutor identified as Government Official No.1, in the still unresolved Airbus Bribery Scandal,” Akufo-Addo said.In 2020, Mr. Mahama took the opportunity to squarely respond to accusations he is Government Official One in the Airbus Scandal. Reacting to the then Special Prosecutor’s report on the Airbus scandal which says he (Mahama) is Government Official 1 Mahama said it was “stupidity”. Speaking to students at the University of Ghana on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, as part of his campaign tour of the Greater Accra Region, Mr Mahama called Mr Amidu “a coward” who indicted him out of fear and without sound legal basis.“Amidu goes and present Agyapa shares, Agyapa investigation and I thought he was man enough,” he said.“They say investigate Agyapa, present a report on Agyapa, if you investigated Airbus, present a report on Airbus,” the former President who is the flagbearer of the NDC for the December 7, 2024 elections, said.“But in the Agyapa report, you know that it’s going to be damning of this Government, you go and put one paragraph there about Airbus. Nobody ask you about Airbus. If you were man enough, present Agyapa, and do a report on Airbus separate and then I will come as a man and answer you on Airbus. If you think I am indicted on Airbus, accuse me directly. But because he is a coward and he knew they were going to discuss Agyapa, so put a paragraph on Airbus to equalize the discussion. I mean, what stupidity is this,” he added.“You are investigating Agyapa, present a report on Agyapa,” according to Mr Mahama.The report says the Office of the Special Prosecutor, “has established the identity of elected Government Official 1 to be former President John Mahama whose brother of the full blood is Samuel Adam Foster also known as Samuel Adam Mahama.”According to the report, “the only reason the former President has not been invited for interrogation (in spite of all threats from some of his followers and lawyers) is the fact that he himself got an insurance as the Presidential Candidate of the other largest political party in Ghana and prudence dictated that the interrogation be held in abeyance during this election season.”It said the former President has also not offered to make any voluntary statement to the Office of the Special Prosecutor despite the publication of an alleged interview containing admissions purportedly made by the former President to a Daily Guide reporter without the full voice recording which in the meantime remains just a hearsay.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

We wont just follow Alan Kyeremanten Sylvester Tetteh

Member of Parliament(MP) for Bortianor Ngleshie, Sylvester Tetteh, has indicated that should Alan Kyeremanten decide to support a candidate in the November 4, 2023 election, his followers will not follow him hook, line and sinker. He says if he throws his weight behind a candidate, his followers will also have to think about his choice and make the right decision that will suit them. “Alan Kyeremanten respects me because he did not call on me to join his campaign. I joined his campaign because, from where I sit, I see some things and thought it wise to join him. He hasn’t communicated his next move, but if he does and he throws his weight behind any of the candidates, we, his followers, will not just follow suit. We will weigh the pros and cons before we decide whether to follow him or not,” he said.Sylvester Tetteh said followers of Alan Kyeremanten have resolved to rally behind the elephant to ensure that the NPP breaks the eight rather than harbor hate for the political party that made them.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

People pushing for failed Mahamas comeback pursuing selfish agenda Socrate Sarfo

Renowned Ghanaian Movie Director and filmmaker, Socrate Sarfo is of the view that John Dramani Mahama cannot be given another chance to govern Ghana. He bases his argument on the fact that the former President said he was not a magician when problems in Ghana overwhelmed him under his tenure. Socrate Sarfo holds the view that any individual who supports the second coming of John Dramani Mahama does not have the interest of the country at heart and is only doing so for their parochial interests. Making this known on Accra-based OKAY FM, he said, “John Mahama, when he was overwhelmed by the challenges the country is facing, told the people of Ghana that he is not a magician. He said he could not do anything about our problems, and this is someone people are rooting for Mahama to come back to power. He continued, “People pushing this agenda are people who do not have the interests of the country at heart. If you think about your family, your children, and the country, you won’t go and bring someone who did nothing to solve your problems as a country”.

Bawumia Mimick-Mocks Ken Agyapongs Showdown Threat

The Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has taunted his major Contender for the flagbearership of the New Patriotic Party(NPP)Kennedy Agyapong using “Showdown”. The Vice President said he would give the National Democratic Congress (NDC) a “showdown” in its strongholds in the 2024 general elections. During the heat of the party’s August 26, 2023, Special Delegates Election, Ken Agyapong was captured on video throwing a challenge directed at President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Dr Mahamudu Bawumia. Kennedy Agyapong who was reacting to alleged threats and intimidation against his agents threatened to give the two a “showdown”. But indirectly reacting to the matter, Dr. Bawumia during a campaign in the Oti Region said he would also give the NDC a Showdow particularly in its “strongholds, including the Zongo communities and the Volta Region”.Dr. Bawumia said the NDC was scared he would emerge as the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).“People in the Zongo communities say they doubt that the NPP will ever make Dr. Bawumia the flagbearer for the upcoming 2024 general elections. However, if they do bring Bawumia, we will vote massively for him. Thus, the NDC will lose massively in their two strongholds, the North and the Zongo communities, should Bawumia emerge as flagbearer.”“I will also win more votes for the NPP in the Volta Region. Therefore, I will shake all their strongholds. That is why they (NDC) do not want Dr. Bawumia to emerge as the flagbearer. Because they know that as flagbearer, I will give them a showdown in their strongholds,” he stated.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Akufo-Addo to open ECOWAS Parliamentary Session on September 29

Members of the ECOWAS Parliament from all across the West African sub-region with support staff from the ECOWAS Commission would converge in the town of Winneba in the Effutu Constituency of the Central Region from September 29 this year to dialogue on the theme: “: The Challenges of Tenure Elongation and Unconstitutional Regime Change in West Africa – The Critical Role of the ECOWAS Parliament” It would be the second time in two years that the ECOWAS Parliament is having a high-level seminar and session in Winneba. In 2021, the town successfully played host to the ECOWAS Parliament’s five-day Delocalized Meetings as well as the Extra Ordinary Session. This month, the same Winneba is playing host to the Parliament’s High-Level Interactive Seminar and its Extraordinary Sessions. Ghana’s President, Nana Akufo-Addo is scheduled to deliver the keynote address in his capacity as Special Guest of Honour at the opening ceremony of the High-Level Interactive at the Jophus Anamuah-Mensah Conference Centre, University of Education (UEW), Winneba. Meanwhile, the Member of Parliament for the Effutu Constituency, under which Winneba falls, Alexander Afenyo-Markin is the Leader of Ghana’s Delegation to the ECOWAS Parliament and he has confirmed that all pre-arrival and pre-event arrangements have been firmed up for the all-important gathering of West African leaders.“We have done this before and it is our time to do it again and you can be rest assured that by the grace of God, Effutu shall deliver the best hospitality and warm reception to our guests who have now become family. They are coming home and apart from the core content of the Seminar and Sessions, there would be a lot of community engagements and other planned activities”, Afenyo-Markin noted.He said it makes perfect sense to sometimes take such international seminars away from the hustle and bustle of the capital city and move into the inner lands.Afenyo-Markin continued: “We cannot always over-concentrate in the capital cities; we need to move out and spread opportunity to the people…We are optimistic that this will be better than before. The Ghanaian Government will put in place the necessary protocols for all MPs, focal persons and staff, Security arrangements would be in place, Winneba which is the capital of my constituency is just an hour’s drive from Accra on a good road.”.EFFUTU PREPAREDThe Effutu Constituency is geared up for the visiting guests and their arrival has become the talk of town, sparking some excitement across board.The general talk is that never before has Effutu had such a number of high-profile persons in international repute coming into the area to stay for almost a week and apart from the meeting, see the Efutu town and the culture and traditions of its people.Winneba Is Rising“Winneba is an amazing coastal city with a rich history and remarkable culture… “Since I became the MP of Effutu, we have been working so hard to fully develop Winneba’s true potential as both a business hub, tourist destination and land of endless opportunities for all citizens who dare to dream.“We have already made significant progress in many areas,” Afenyo-Markin addedHe continued: “We are strategically improving the livelihoods of the people through calculated investments in very critical areas. I am talking about education, small-scale industries, housing, access to health, and hospitality. The result is that modern education facilities are coming to Effutu, modern homes and residential facilities are being built, and sustainable jobs are being created and more.”“The ultimate dream is to develop Effutu in general to such a level as to make it an attractive destination of choice for major local and international businesses, events and conferences. Therefore, the decision by the ECOWAS Parliament to have Winneba host ECOWAS MPs for the meetings could not have come at a more opportune time.”“We have already started making all the necessary preparations to host the two events successfully,” states Afenyo-Markin. “We intend to make all our visitors feel at home throughout their days in Ghana and leave with the best possible memories of our people and our culture.”According to Afenyo-Markin, “the potential impact of the international conference on Winneba’s economy, and the people Effutu in general, will be phenomenal.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Therefore, the decision by the ECOWAS Parliament to have Winneba host ECOWAS MPs for the meetings could not have come at a more opportune time.” “We have already started making all the necessary preparations to host the two events successfully,” states Afenyo-Markin. “We intend to make all our visitors feel at home throughout their days in Ghana and leave with the best possible memories of our people and our culture.”According to Afenyo-Markin, “the potential impact of the international conference on Winneba’s economy, and the people Effutu in general, will be phenomenal.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Leaked IGP Tape: Committee to grill Bugri Naabu again

The woes of former Northern Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party(NPP), Mr. Daniel Bugri Naabu are far from over as he has been summoned before the seven-member ad-hoc committee of parliament probing a leaked tape in which he and some senior police officers were allegedly plotting the removal of the Inspector General of Police(IGP), Dr. George Akufo Dampare. This portal has confirmed that Mr. Bugri Naabu is expeted to reappear before the seven-member committee on Tuesday September 12, 2023 for some intense interrogation. Though the witness who admitted making the recording of the purported leaked tape which has subsequently birthed other audiovisuals had been discharged by the committee when he made his first appearance, some details require he is brought back to face a second round of interrogation for his roles in the whole issue. Sources within the committee, reveal that some claims made by the witness turned out to be untrue considering the current turn of events and the emergence of some audiovisuals in which he was captured making shocking disclosures, his presence would be critical. Bugri Naabu confesses receiving GHc10k from police monthlyLate last week, the embattled witness in yet another leaked audio confessed to receiving Ghc10, 000 monthly from the Ghana Police Service.Mr. Bugri Naabu in defense of the amount he receives, indicates that it for his services of providing secret information to the police in his capacity as a paramount chief.The confession of Bugri Naabu was in response to a query from someone on the other end of a telephone conversation who described the chief as untruthful over certain claims.In the 5:40 minutes audio and many others that have since gone viral on social media, an angry NPP stalwart is heard saying in response to claims he receives GHc10,000 monthly from the Inspector General of Police (IGP), George Akuffo Dampare that.“It is the police who are paying me and not Dampare. I receive Ghc10, 000 from the police. I don’t know it is coming from Dampare. They give me that amount for the security work I am doing as a paramount chief and when they is a problem I report to them”, he disclosedMr. Daniel Bugri Naabu who has been embroiled in series of controversies, had revealed that before an ad-hoc committee of parliament probing a plot by some senior police officers to oust the Inspector General of Police was meant for President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.He told the committee that he was afraid of his inability to recall exactly what he was being told by the police officers and so decided to record and when he is granted the audience of the President he could play it to him.“You know the President, if I go and meet him and tell him this is what I heard and he does get any evidence he may not believe me. So I recorded it so that if I met him and I asked, he would play it for him”, he revealed to the committee.In view of the inconsistencies in his claims and latest information available to the committee, the traditional ruler would be expected give clarity on a number of issues he raised during his first appearance.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Majority Leader goes after Kumasi radio station over fake leaked tape

Majority Leader and Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu has denied allegations of being party to a scheme to forcibly make Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia the flagbearer of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP). Mr Osei-Kyei Mensah Bonsu noted that the voice aired on Kumasi-based Sompa FM and attributed to him is not his and the contents of the clip can therefore be his utterances. In a press release, dated September 9, 2023, and signed Mr Osei-Kyei Mensah Bonsu himself, he categorically denied the contents of the audio and enjoined all NPP faithful to disregard the audio and treat it with the contempt it deserves.“Accordingly, I entreat the President, HE Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the Vice President HE Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, the former General Secretary John Boadu, and all NPP faithful to treat the said audio clip and its contents with the contempt that it deserves and consign it to the garbage can where it properly belongs,” he wrote.He also demanded a retraction and an apology from Sompa FM, warning that if the media house does not do so within 48, he would advise himself.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Flag of a new political party in Ghana pops up

The flag of a purported new political party has been making rounds on various social media platforms leaving Ghanaians wondering if it is for real if someone is flying the kite The flag which has a white background with a symbol of the sun and the inscription of the United Peoples Party (UPP), has the motto ‘United to build’. There has not been an official communication to it, but netizens and other social media users have suggested it could be linked to the former Trade Minister’s new political party.Already there are speculations Alan could break away from the New Patriotic Party(NPP) after announcing his withdrawal from the November 4th Delegates Conference of the party, citing intimidation and attacks on his supporters as the basis.Mr. Kyeremanten placed 3rd after the party super delegates conference held on August 26, 2023.  He however cited systematic intimidation and machinations to favour one candidate as his reason for pulling out of the November race.In a press statement earlier this week, Mr  Kyeremanten failed to state his commitment to the NPP but rather said in the future he will make known his role in Ghana politics.This has given room to wide speculations that he could be forming a new political party.The NPP has since officially accepted his withdrawal from the flagbearship race and has promised to attend to the grievances raised in his withdrawal letter to the party.Some political analysts have suggested any move by Mr Kyeremanten to establish a political party will be suicidal to his political ambitions.To others, it could be a platform to showcase his popularity and strength in Ghana politics.Whichever way Mr Kyeremanteg and his team may take, the coming days will surely bring some twists and turns to the political landscape of Ghana.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Two University Dons clash over Alan Kyeremantens political future

Renowned Political Science Lecturers, Prof. Ransford Gyampo of the University of Ghana and Dr. Amakye Boateng of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology(KNUST) are at variance as to Hon. Alan Kyerematen’s chances at surviving in the Ghanaian politics. The two speaking on Kumasi-based Pure FM with Kwame Adinkrah expressed varying views, indicating separately that Alan is finished in Ghana’s politics with the other saying, it will be absurd for anyone to prefer such view. Dr. Amakye Boateng of KNUST shared that from the onset of Hon. Alan Kyerematen announcing his presidential ambitions on NPP’s ticket, his forthrightness was visibly absent.He remarked that, there were no seriousness and neither credible actions were taken by Alan himself nor his campaign team to secure him the flagbearership slot, making everything obvious that it was a forgone conclusion against him.“Alan’s political career ended with the super delegates congress. He hasn’t been a grassroots person yet they described him as such.He withdrew from the race because of the fear element in him. Fear is the major driving force for Alan’s withdrawal. He is afraid of losing miserably at the general primaries hence, his withdrawal from the contest. It is over for Alan Kyeremateng. He is not becoming the President of this country.” Dr. Amakye told Kwame AdinkrahHowever, colleague Political Scientist and President of the University of Ghana’s UTAG chapter, Prof. Ransford Gyampo, speaking on the same platform expressed a contrary view.He stated that, Alan is still a force to reckon with in the Ghanaian politics and it will be superfluous for anyone to indicate otherwise.“Respectfully, I disagree with Dr. Amakye. I don’t know the last time he did an empirical survey but God being so good, he has blessed us with vibrancy and youthfulness so we are able to go on the field. If you go to the field, the outcome you get is Ghana’s future election is going to be determined on personalities basis. Gradually, Ghanaians are shifting from political parties as basis for elections to the personalities involved.If you look at personalities, Alan Kyeremateng has built enough pedigree for himself in Ghanaian politics.Even though his withdrawal from the contest came as a shock to me, Alan still appeals to the larger electorates, so at best, the rational thing to do is to appeal to Ghanaians directly especially when he sees no antidote to the concerns he raised in the withdrawal statement.It will be absurd for anyone to assume that Alan is finished in Ghana’s politics.” Prof. Ransford Gyampo stated on Kumasi-based Pure FM on Thursday, September 8.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

Super Delegates Conference: We didnt meet our expectations despite victory Awuku explains

New Patriotic Party (NPP) heavyweight and head of the campaign team of Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Sammi Awuku has revealed that despite Dr Bawumia’s resounding victory in the Super Delegates Conference of the NPP held on August 26, 2023 to whittle down the number of flagbearer aspirants from 10 to 5, he and his team fell short of the 70% minimum target that they had set for themselves. Mr Sammi Awuku, who is leading Dr Bawumia’s bid to become flagbearer of the NPP and subsequently become President of Ghana, noted that the impressive 68.15% of the votes won by Dr Bawumia has set them taking stock of what went amiss and strategising in preparation for the National Delegates Conference itself. Mr Awuku is confident that Dr Bawumia would win the National Delegates Conference scheduled for November 4 2023 and subsequently the General Elections in 2024.On the withdrawal of Alan Kyeremanten from the flagbearership race, he called for unity of purpose and admonished supporters of Dr Bawumia to desist from making comments that can mar the unity and cohesiveness of the party as it prepares for the 2024 elections“I am going to be very honest with you. We were expecting to get 70% of the votes based on all our polling and profiling ahead of August 26.Unfortunately, we couldn’t get that, but we had 68.1 percent. And so for us as a campaign team, we spent the last six days doing a review, region by region. And so far we have done fifteen out of the sixteen regions,” he told Bernard Avle on Citi TV’s Point of View programme Wednesday September 6, 2023.Source: MyNewsGh.comThanks for reading from MyNewsGH as a news publishing website from Ghana.

I'll bring more ideas to benefit Ghanaians so ignore Mahama's 24-hour economy Bawumia

He, therefore, called the proposed 24-hour economy policy ill-conceived and lacking in innovation.Addressing party supporters in the Northern Region, Dr. Bawumia asserted that Mahama’s economic strategies have consistently fallen short and that true economic transformation requires more creative thinking. "This is one idea that John Mahama thinks he has brought; it is a bad idea, it is an idea that hasn’t been thought through, so I want you to compare me to John Mahama, who has the ideas to transform this economy. "The track record of John Mahama doesn’t show innovative thinking, it doesn’t show ideas, the track record of Dr. Bawumia is idea after idea. I have my own priorities and I have my own vision, when I become president I will bring more ideas and you will hear them very soon," he said. Mahama said the 24-hour economy is one of the key pillars of his campaign platform for the 2024 presidential election. He argues that such a policy would help boost economic growth and create jobs. He pledged to equip the youth of Ghana with the knowledge and skills needed for a sustainable future. He said the NDC government in 2025 will introduce a 24-hour economy with incentives and tax breaks for manufacturers who will run extra shifts to create more room for employment. According to him, an NDC government will work to ease the burden of taxes imposed by the NPP administration on Ghanaian businesses and investors, which has robbed Ghana of its envious position as one of Africa's leading destinations for investment.

Apology accepted' Harry Maguire reacts to Isaac Adongo's U-turn on his performance

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the England centre-back said he was looking forward to seeing the lawmaker at Old Trafford.“MP Issac Adongo apology accepted. See you at Old Trafford soon,” Maguire wrote on the microblogging site. Adongo, who is the MP for Bolgatanga Central, went viral last year in the international media when he mocked Maguire and compared his performances to vice president Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. However, the legislator has since made a U-turn and believes Harry Maguire is now performing better than Dr. Bawumia. The legislator, therefore, rendered an apology to the Manchester United defender for comparing his performance to that of Bawumia’s handling of Ghana’s economy. Speaking on the floor of parliament on Tuesday, Adongo said Maguire has turned things around and is now a key player for Erik ten Hag’s side. Taking another dig at the vice president, however, the MP said Bawumia continues to roam at the IMF to beg for loans. "I must express my sincere apologies to Harry Maguire for hastily comparing my esteemed colleague Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to him,” Adongo said. “Today, Maguire has undergone a transformative journey in football, emerging as a key player for Manchester United. In contrast, our 'Maguire' is currently navigating the corridors of the IMF with a cup in hand.” Meanwhile, Maguire is back in favour at Manchester United after regaining his form and is now one of the first names in the team’s starting line-up.

Akufo-Addos govt is an autocratic and vindictive one Mahama

He said the current New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration has stifled free speech and criticism of Ghanaians.Speaking at a durbar of students in the Ahafo Region during his ‘Building Ghana Tour,' he emphasized that democracy needed to be upheld in the country. “In any democracy in any country, the right to free speech is very important. And free expression, when you suppress it, when things go wrong, you don't know. At the time I was president, we allowed people to speak freely. And so, if things were not going well in schools, the headmasters and the teachers could complain and could talk. Mahama on Building Ghana Tour Pulse Ghana “Unfortunately, that changed when the Nana Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government came in. It was a very autocratic, vindictive government. And so, if you were a teacher or a headmaster and things were not going well in your school or the educational system, if you talked about it, they would either sack you or they'll transfer you,” he said. He further stressed that the autocratic atmosphere has caused fear and panic amongst several Ghanaians who are unable to speak up about bad practices and happenings in the country. “... And so, it instituted a culture of fear amongst public servants,” he added. The former President also said government workers in the country are unable to complain about the poor state of their jobs for fear of being apprehended or sacked from their positions.

Whats our crime? Goaso chief sheds tears, tells Mahama about abandonment by NPP (video)

He lamented the terrible nature of the roads and underdevelopment in the Ahafo Region although it is the NPP’s stronghold. According to him, the situation has afflicted him with an illness and the gods of the land have deserted him.“Because of the dusty nature of the road, I have now developed a health condition. What is our crime? Ahafo Region, what have we done wrong?” the emotional traditional leader asked amid tears and sobbing. Mahama and the NDC team who have been embarking on a nationwide tour dubbed “Building Ghana Tour” were in the Ahafo Region and visited Nana Bosompra’s palace when he poured out his frustrations. He bemoaned how some roads whose construction started under the erstwhile Mahama-led NDC administration were stopped and abandoned by the Akufo-Addo-led NPP government. “The road in front of the palace was awarded to Kofi Job by the NDC and he mobilized his equipment to the site. But all contractors on Ahafo Roads were stopped immediately after the Nana Akufo-Addo government took over,” he narrated. After winning power, the NPP administration reportedly put a stop to civil work on the Bediako to Kasapii road, which had been completed but was not asphalted. The contractor on the Gambia Number One to Dormaa route was also affected by the government’s decision. Nana Bosompra said all the work that had been done on the roads before the NPP came into power has gone to waste. “After many years of auditing, they were made to resume work. But all the work they have gone down the drain,” he lamented. Out of six parliamentary seats in the Ahafo Region, only two are occupied by the NDC and the remaining four by the NPP. However, Nana Bosompra claims that although the Ahafo Region has consistently supported the New Patriotic Party, it has not given the region's development needs any priority.

Why some people sleep with their eyes half open

In this condition, a person's eyes remain partially or fully open during sleep.There are a few reasons why some people may sleep with their eyes open: Incomplete eyelid closure: Some individuals may have difficulty fully closing their eyelids due to muscle or nerve problems. This can lead to the eyes being partially open during sleep. Muscle tone issues: The muscles responsible for closing the eyes may not function properly in some cases, leading to difficulty in keeping the eyes closed during sleep. Underlying medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as facial nerve paralysis (Bell's palsy), may result in the inability to close the eyes completely during sleep. Eye-related conditions: Individuals with certain eye conditions, like exophthalmos (protruding eyes) or proptosis, may find it challenging to keep their eyes closed during sleep. Genetic factors: In some cases, there may be a genetic predisposition to sleeping with eyes open. Medications: Certain medications, such as sedatives or muscle relaxants, can relax the muscles responsible for eyelid closure, potentially causing the eyes to remain open during sleep. While sleeping with the eyes open is generally not harmful, it can lead to discomfort, dryness, and irritation in the eyes. Additionally, the exposed cornea may be more susceptible to dryness, which could potentially lead to other eye issues. If someone suspects they are sleeping with their eyes open or experiences any discomfort, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or an eye specialist for proper evaluation and guidance.

Carpenter whose 5 daughters were killed by trailer truck cries for justice

The traumatised man told JoyNews that it has been five years since he lost his five children, who were between the ages of eleven and fourteen, run over by an unknown trailer truck in the Central Region's Assin Kyekyere when they were doing errands for their teacher.He lamented that he has been moving from one office to another seeking justice for his deceased children but his efforts have not yielded any result. “It has been five since I have tried to get justice for my girls, yet no one appears to be interested,” he is quoted to have said. He recounted that he was simply called to be informed that his girls had been run down, which resulted in their immediate death. He added that the truck that killed them was tolled from the scene and that there hasn't been any sign of it since, saying that all efforts to hold the driver accountable have failed. The carpenter took advantage of the chance to request assistance from the government to find and prosecute perpetrators. The poor father made these remarks when he joined “Accident Victims Support Ghana”, a group of persons who have also been denied justice and are victims of traffic accidents. Rev. Cyril Crabbe, the non-governmental organization's founder, requested funding to assist accident victims. “People will repair their cars but how about repairing human beings, how about making sure somebody who never paid to be in such a position now finds himself there? The driver could be free but what about the victim,” he quizzed. It is unclear if the matter was reported to the police and what their investigation revealed.

Nana Addo has hijacked NPP Buaben Asamoa

He said the party has become divided by heavy factionalism.According to him, the government led by Nana Addo has taken over, adding that the personality of the president is overbearing and he controls the party. In an interview with Citi TV on Tuesday, November 21, 2023, the former Communications Director expressed concern that the party had strayed from its original ideals. President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo Pulse Ghana He said "The NPP that I knew in the beginning is not the NPP that exists now. The party has become divided by heavy factionalism. Essentially, it's become divided by the executive." His reactions come after the party accused him, along with three others, of openly canvassing support for defeated flagbearer aspirant Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen and had their membership revoked for breaching the party’s constitution. The four, Hopeson Adorye, a defeated parliamentary candidate; Nana Ohene Ntow, a former General Secretary; Boniface Abubakar Saddique, a former Zongo Minister; and Yaw Buaben Asamoa, are reported to have declared their support for Alan Kyerematen, a former NPP presidential aspirant who cut ties with the ruling party to form the "Butterfly Movement," following his dismal performance at the NPP Super Delegates Conference to elect its flag bearer for the 2024 general elections.
