Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader in Parliament, has boldly told the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) that whether they like it or not, the NPP will return to power in 2028.
The minority leader urged party faithful to work hard to win the 2028 general election.
Speaking at the NPP’s ‘Democracy Under Attack’ demonstration in Accra on August 6, 2026, the Minority Leader boldly stated, “Whether the NDC likes it or not, the NPP will assume power in 2028. If you are an NPP member, work hard so that power returns to the party”.
He further assured the former Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo that she will be reinstated when the NPP returns to power in 2028.
“Let me tell the former Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo, that she should not be sad. When the NPP returns to power under Bawumia, she will be reinstated as Chief Justice,” he said.
Meanwhile, members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have taken to the streets of Accra to stage their “Democracy Under Attack” demonstration today, Thursday, August 6.
According to the NPP, their demonstration is aimed at defending civil liberties, the rule of law and democratic accountability following the attack on democracy under the current government.
Reports suggest the protest began its march from the Supreme Court, where they are expected to outline their concerns over recent judicial decisions and to present a petition.
The demonstrators will embark on a peaceful march through some principal streets of the capital before proceeding to the Jubilee House.
At the Presidency, the leadership of the NPP is expected to submit a second petition, urging President John Dramani Mahama to address what the party describes as increasing attacks on democratic institutions.
According to reports, the NPP protest has attracted support from other groups, including the Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG), which has thrown its weight behind the demonstration.
The NPP argued that their planned nationwide demonstration is over the Mahama government’s actions threatening Ghana’s democracy, constitutional order and the rule of law.
Henry Nana Boakye, popularly known as Nana B, the NPP National Organiser, addressing a press conference on Friday, July 31, stated, “The time for silence is over. The NPP serves notice that on 6th August, 2026, in collaboration with other political parties, CSOs, professional bodies, youth movements, student movements and all well-meaning citizens, we shall embark on a massive demonstration to defend our democracy, our constitution and the rule of law”.
Also, the NPP has announced that they have secured police approval for its planned August 6 demonstration.
