About 85,000 people don’t believe Dr Bawumia should lead NPP – MP

0

Cletus Seidu Dapilah, the member of parliament for Jirapa, has said that about 85,000 NPP delegates don’t believe Dr Mahamudu Bawumia should lead the party.

He noted that the 85,000 should be a concern for the newly elected NPP flagbearer.

The NDC Jirap MP in a GHOne News card is quoted as saying, “About 85,000 people don’t believe Dr Bawumia should lead NPP, that should be his concern”.

His comments follow Dr Bawumia’s NPP primaries number dropping in 2023. Dr Bawumia won the Presidential Primaries with 118,210 votes, representing  61.47% of the total valid votes cast. His closest rival, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong (Assin Central Member of Parliament), polled 71,996 votes, representing 37.41%, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto (former Minister for Agriculture) polled 1,459 votes, representing 0.76%, and Honourable Francis Addai-Nimoh (former Member of Parliament of Mampong) polled 781 votes, representing 0.41%.

In 2026, the former Vice President, despite securing a commanding victory in the party’s presidential primary held on Saturday Janurary 31, 2026, had his overall percentage drop from 118,210 votes, representing   61.47%, to 110,645, representing 56.48 per cent.

Dr Bawumia polled 110,645, representing 56.48 per cent of the total valid votes cast, which was confirmed by Electoral Commission officials at the party’s headquarters.

Ken Agyapong came in second place with 46, 554 votes (23.76%), while Dr Bryan Acheampong secured third position with 36,303 votes (18.53%).

They were followed by Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum in fourth place with 1,999 votes (1.02%) and Kwabena Agyei Agyepong in fifth with 402 votes, representing 0.21%.

Meanwhile, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has said he is happier about his performance in the party’s 2026 presidential primaries than in 2023.

Dr Bawumia detailed that the whole country spoke for him, and looking at the data, his 2026 result is superior to 2023 qualitatively.

The NPP flagbearer highlighted that in Greater Accra, he won 32 out of 34 constituencies, but in 2023, he won 19 and further cited the 100 per cent win in some other constituencies across the country.

Speaking to some NPP members after his victory, Dr Bawumia explained, “The whole country spoke, frankly, I am happier about these results than I was in 2023. If you look at the data, this is a superior result than 2023 qualitatively because we have won more constituecies that we did the last time.

100 per cent in Western North, so many places, Bono, Ahafo, Bono East, 100 per cent of all those seats. Ashanti 45 out of 47 massively, in Greater Accra 32 out of 34. In 2023, I won 19 and this time 32”.   

Dr Bawumia further added, “Going round the country, I was very expectant looking at how we were being received across the country, but actually had it manifest yesterday was something to uphold.

So, the responsibility has been placed on us, and we have to deliver and to expect nothing short of victory in 2028. A lot of confidence has been repose on me, and we have to deliver the victory from now to 2028; we have three years to do it”.

Dr Bawumia further highlighted that in the 2024 elections, there was a clear difference between the NDC votes and the NPP votes, saying, “The NDC vote they didn’t get much more than they did in 2020, it is basically the same, the NPP votes basically collapsed 2.1 million less because our own people decided not to come out to vote so it an internal problem”.

So, fundamentally, if we solve that internal problem, you are on your way to victory, because if 2.1 million people had voted, we would have won. That’s it, I am going to be very open-minded, open-hearted and open-armed, I will bring everybody, even those who were insulting me, I am going to bring them all together”.

“False and misleading” – Ministry of Foreign Affairs refute extortion claims by family of student who died in Latvia

0

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has refuted extortion allegations levelled against them by a sister of late Nana Agyei Ahyia, a Ghanaian student who died under unusual circumstances while studying at Riga Technical University in Latvia.

In a viral video, the relative revealed that Nana Agyei’s mother was called to Kotoka International Airport to join the delegation travelling to Latvia to seek justice for him.

Upon arriving at the airport, she was informed that her plane ticket was fake, even though she had previously been charged GHS 2,000 for her visa processing fees.

Nana Agyei’s visibly distraught relative also noted that while at the airport, they saw the delegation, which included government appointees, preparing to depart for Latvia.

She questioned why a grieving mother should have to endure such an ordeal and is calling on the public to help spread this information so it reaches the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.

According to her, family members who were initially included in the delegation list by the Minister of Foreign Affairs were later removed.

She further quizzed why the mother’s passport was allegedly being withheld while government officials had already travelled.

However, in a statement issued on February 2, 2026, the Ministry said the allegation made in the  circulating video are“false, misleading, and unfounded.”

The Ministry clarified, “… The Ministry wishes to categorically reject and correct the false, misleading and unfounded assertions contained in the said video, in which a woman purporting to be a sister of the deceased alleges, among other things, that the deceased’s mother was required to make payments to facilitate her travel, that government officials travelled to Latvia without any family member, and that a fake airline ticket was issued to the deceased’s mother”.

“The Ministry states emphatically that it has remained in constant and transparent engagement with the family of the deceased to facilitate the travel of two duly nominated family members and a pathologist to Latvia.

“At no time has the Ministry, or any government official acting on its behalf, demanded or received any form of payment from the family. For the avoidance of doubt, the Government of Ghana is fully bearing the cost of all travel arrangements,” it stated.

The Ministry further explained, “In furtherance of this commitment, the Ministry actively facilitated the visa application process for the nominated family members, who were initially scheduled to travel by 31st January 2026. This travel did not materialise due to delays in visa issuance by the relevant authorities. It must be clearly stated that, at the time of their visa appointments, the family members failed to present all the requisite documentation.”

“Upon receipt of the outstanding documents, the Ministry promptly facilitated their submission to the concerned Embassy. The Ministry formally notified the mother of the deceased on Friday evening and again on Saturday that travel could not proceed as scheduled, as the visas had not yet been issued and the passports remained in the custody of the Embassy,” it explained.

On allegations of a fake airline ticket, the Ministry added“… She was expressly informed by the Ministry’s official in contact with her that the document in her possession was not a confirmed airline ticket, but merely an itinerary generated exclusively to support the visa application process, and that travel was not possible in the absence of her passport,” the statement added.

“Now that Bawumia has won, what is he coming to do?” – Elderly man quizzes

0

An elderly man has quizzed what the newly elected flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party(NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, is coming back to do after emerging victorious in the party’s primaries.

He questioned whether the dollar, now trading at about 10 cedis, would be pushed to 17 cedis, and whether petrol, currently around 9 cedis, would rise to the same level.

According to him, Ghana does not need to go backwards.

Speaking in a viral video, the elderly man stated, “This issue is disturbing me. Now that Bawumia has won, what is he coming to do? I am not worried about his win, dollar is now 10 cedis, is he coming to move it to 17 cedis? Ghana, are we going to go backwards? How much is cement now? 70 cedis is he coming to send it back, 102 cedis or what?

Look at the price of petrol, how much is one litre, it is 9 cedis, is he coming to send it 22 cedis?”, he questioned.

Also, a market woman has confidently stated that the newly elected flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, will secure only 28 per cent of votes in the 2028 elections.

The market woman asserted that she is an NDC woman but supports Bawumia being the NPP flagbearer for the NDC to hand another miserable defeat.

She detailed that in the 2024 elections the Bawumia secured 38 per cent and was not pleased that this time around, they are going to hand him 28 per cent in the 2028 election.

Their comments follow, Dr Bawumia, who has been elected the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) once again.

The former Vice President secured a commanding victory in the party’s presidential primary held on Saturday Janurary 31, 2026.

Dr Bawumia is now set to lead the NPP in the 2028 election as they seek to regain power from the NDC.

Dr Bawumia polled 110,645, representing 56.48 per cent of the total valid votes cast, which was confirmed by Electoral Commission officials at the party’s headquarters.

Ken Agyapong came in second place with 46, 554 votes (23.76%), while Dr Bryan Acheampong secured third position with 36,303 votes (18.53%).

They were followed by Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum in fourth place with 1,999 votes (1.02%) and Kwabena Agyei Agyepong in fifth with 402 votes, representing 0.21%.

Meanwhile, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has called on all party members to put aside differences and work together to win the 2028 elections.

Speaking after being officially declared the NPP flagbearer, Dr Bawumia stressed that the outcome of the election should mark the beginning of cooperation among party members.

He further appealed to delegates and supporters across the country to let go of any reservations they may have and unite behind the party’s vision.

Dr Bawumia stated, “Together we stand, divided we fall.”

My mum was given a fake ticket – Sister of student murdered in Latvia exposes Foreign Affairs Ministry

0

A relative of Nana Agyei Ahyia, an 18-year-old  Ghanaian student who died under unusual circumstances while studying at Riga Technical University in Latvia, has made some shocking claims against the Foreign Affairs Ministry.

The relative revealed that Nana Agyei’s mother was called to Kotoka International Airport to join the delegation travelling to Latvia to seek justice for him.

Upon arriving at the airport, she was informed that her plane ticket was fake, even though she had previously been charged GHS 2,000 for her visa processing fees.

She questioned why a grieving mother should have to endure such an ordeal and is calling on the public to help spread this information so it reaches the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.

According to her, family members who were initially included in the delegation list by the Minister of Foreign Affairs were later removed.

She further quizzed why the mother’s passport was allegedly being withheld while government officials had already travelled.

Speaking in the viral video, Nana Agyei’s visibly distraught relative narrated, “I am speaking as a sister to the deceased. I’m talking about Nana Yaw Agyei… Nana Agyei’s mother was called yesterday to come to Kotoka International Airport with the delegates so they could travel to Latvia.

“On arrival, the officers told Nana Agyei’s mother that the plane ticket was fake. She was not able to go to Latvia,” she alleged.

“In our presence, we saw nearly 18 delegates, government appointees who are not even Nana Agyei’s family members, traveling to Latvia. But how can justice be served if the family of the boy is not present? Authorities of Latvia, please note, Nana Agyei’s family is not part of the delegation,” she said.

“They gave the mother a fake ticket. Even during the visa process, they asked Nana Agyei’s mother to pay more than GH¢2,000. If they claim to be delivering justice for someone, why is the family asked to pay for it?” she queried.

She added, “Because of the money they took from Nana Agyei’s mother, they ended up giving her a fake ticket. A woman who has lost her first child had to stand at Kotoka International Airport in pain again.”

“They are keeping Nana Agyei’s mother’s passport when their appointees are already in Latvia. I don’t understand. If they claim to be seeking justice for Nana Agyei, his family must be present to explain what happened and ensure the process is transparent,” she said, visibly aggrieved.

“We, the family members who were brought to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, had our names cancelled. They replaced us with government appointees who are total strangers,” she said.

Background

The 18-year-old Nana Agyei Ahyia a Ghanaian student studying in Latvia, died under what the family believes were mysterious circumstances.

According to the Police, the suspects used the fake account to carry out personal activities.

The Police further prompted investigations that led to their arrest.

Some netizens reacting to the news of the arrest impersonators stated, “The way you people are shouting ‘Well done, Aban’ is hilarious. You’re celebrating the police for catching a TikTok scammer like they just recovered the country’s missing millions”.

Another added, “the real problem is. Why is the male suspect in handcuffs while the female suspect is hands-free? Is she not a suspect in this alleged impersonation, and has she not been arrested by the police? Someone should clarify this thing for us”.

“There’s one account posing as Farida Mahama. Arrest all of them”, An X user added.

One more netizen noted, “Wow, that’s serious. Impersonating public figures, especially the president’s family, can land you in major legal trouble. Using social media for fake identities isn’t just risky, it’s illegal, and in this case, it looks like the Ghana Police must take it very seriously”.

“Meanwhile, people who stole money from me are walking free despite providing all the data to the useless police. I guess being rich alone is not enough, you must be a politician also!”, Another Ghanaian added.

Aditionally a netizen claimed, “The rate at which our Muslims brothers are getting involved in theft is too much,there is always a Muslim amongst them”.

“Don’t wait for a major blunder to ride on to grab power” – Bawumia told

0

Franklin Cudjoe, the President of IMANI Africa, has told the newly elected flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, not to wait for a major NDC blunder to ride on to grab power.

The IMANI President in a post advising Dr Mahmudu Bawumia asserted that the NPP flagbearer waiting for an NDC blunder is ‘unwise and is called baseless optimism’.

In a social media post shared on X on Monday, February 2, 2026, Franklin Cudjoe wrote, “First advice to the retained flagbearer of the NPP, Dr Bawumia.

Please do not wait for a major blunder of the NDC to ride on to grab power. This type of hope is unwise and is called baseless optimism. Nonetheless, if you still believe your strategy can benefit from NDC’s blunders, then they would have to be more sordid and life-threatening than the ones precociously choreographed by your government to make heads turn”. 

He further warned the newly elected NPP flagbearer that lies, insults, and propaganda dished out by inexperienced communicators are also not an option, as Ghanaian voters are now sophisticated enough to detect them.

According to the IMANI President, Dr Bawumia must only have the truth to tell based on actual happenings.

Franklin Cudjoe added, “Lies, insults and propaganda as freely dished out by inexperienced communicators of your party are not options either. The current voter is sophisticated to detect them.

So you have only the truth to be told, based on actual happenings cleverly analysed and presented to the relatively happier voter to make them believe that you, as the alternative is no longer scarier but completely remorseful and committed to Ghana’s progress. 

It is a long road, but you can do it. Good luck”, his post concluded.

Meanwhile, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has said he is happier about his performance in the party’s 2026 presidential primaries than in 2023.

Dr Bawumia detailed that the whole country spoke for him, and looking at the data his 2026 result is superior to 2023 qualitatively.

“By the grace of God, Ken is doing perfectly well” – Stephen Amoah

0

Dr Stephen Amoah, the Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso, has said Ken Agyapong is doing perfectly well following his defeat in the New Patriotic Party’s flagbearer election.

According to Dr Stephen Amoah, he is visiting Ken Agyapong to tie up some issues.

He further described Ken Agyapong as a resilient political figure who values the nature of competitive politics.

Speaking on JoyNews’ Super Morning Show on Monday, February 2, Stephen Amoah revealed, “Even this morning, I’m trying to tie up one or two issues, and then I was still going to see Kennedy Agyapong. By the grace of God, he’s doing perfectly well”.

“He’s a politician, and you know the kind of person he is. If you’re close to him, he’s a different person altogether. He’s very fine,” the MP added.

Also, Stephen Amoah further revealed that they are yet to analyse the factors that led to Ken’s defeat in the NPP flagbearer contest.

He added, “When the results came in, we haven’t really sat down to analyse what happened. It’s barely a day. I don’t want to pre-empt anything”.

“What I can say is that the election was very peaceful and very successful. Whatever happened has happened, and as a party, we have won,” he stated.

“We have shown a high level of tolerance, peace and preparedness as a fraternity ready to govern. In the history of this country, I haven’t seen an election as peaceful as this,” Dr Amoah added.

He further expressed his personal disappointment over the outcome of the NPP primaries for Ken Agyapong.

“Of course, I wouldn’t be happy that we lost our candidate, but I am happy that at the end of the day, the party witnessed such a peaceful election. That is my joy,” he said.

Meanwhile, Thomas Worlanyo Tsekpo, a member of Parliament for Hohoe, has said Kennedy Agyapong, a defeated NPP presidential aspirant, is better following the outcome of the party’s primaries.

According to the Hohoe MP, Ken Agyapong’s body language shows a bitter man.

He further claimed that Ken Agyapong contributed to his own defeat in the NPP election after he failed to challenge the flawed NPP primaries process.

Speaking in an interview on Channel TV on February 1, 2026, the Hohoe MP explained, “We have seen in his body language that the man is bitter. Kennedy Agyapong is bitter,” he alleged.

“The NPP’s primary was rigged from day one. You don’t rig an election at the polling station; the rigging happens in the process that leads to the election itself,” he said.

“Instead of lobbying NEC to adopt a bottom-up approach, he agreed to the top-down approach. The very day he agreed, I told myself he would never win, and that is why he is bitter,” Tsekpo stated.

“He allowed the process to go through, and he is now facing the music,” he added.

“Louisa is ugly. Really?”- Israel Laryea slams critics, defends wife over GHOne host saga

0

Astute media personality Israel Laryea has hit back at critics while defending his wife, Louisa Laryea, following intense online criticism stemming from a social media post firing GHOne TV journalist Lily Mohammed.

Louisa Laryea fired shots at GHOne host Lily Mohamed following her criticism of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.

The GHOne host’s criticism stems from the Foreign Affairs Ministry approving a Ghanaian passport to popular American streamer Darren Watkins Jr., popularly known as IshowSpeed.

Louisa Laryea, in her post, told the GHOne host Journalism goes way beyond make-up, skin bleaching, BBL and hair.

She highlighted that journalists must conduct thorough research, interrogate data, and demonstrate sound reasoning before criticising.

“Journalism goes way beyond make-up, skin bleaching, BBL, hair, and fashion. Journalists ought to research, court the facts, interrogate data, and demonstrate sound reasoning,” Louisa Laryea wrote.

However, Lily Mohamed, in a sharp rebuttal to Louisa Laryea’s post, stated: “…That you are married to a journalist definitely does not make you one. The profession is not sexually transmitted.

“I would have very much been open to a discourse with you, but seeing as you have absolutely no substance in that capacity, it would be a complete waste of my time. I hope you take a look at yourself in the mirror the next time you choose to be condescending, as you were with your distasteful post,” she added.

Renowned Ghanaian journalist and media personality Israel Laryea has since broken his silence following his wife’s being trolled following her criticism.

Israel Laryea, in a Facebook post, revealed that some trolls say Louisa, his wife, is ugly, citing that his wife is 52 years old and has given birth to three children, adding that the trolls should create a human, for everyone to see how they fare.

He further added that his wife never sought to infer that Lily Mohammed had bleached or done BBL because she does not know her and further went on to apologise to the GHOne host.

Israel Laryea, in his post, stated, “Louisa and I have had conversations about her post that went viral and caused a troll storm, and I got her to appreciate a few things – one of them being that there’s one thing about what you say and there’s another about how people interpret it.

While you may feel free to say what you wish, you cannot necessarily control how people understand it.

There’s also how people would choose to spin it to suit their own narrative.

She, however, explains that she never meant to body shame anyone.

Unfortunately, we can all agree that you can’t control how people choose to interpret a post.

Louisa further clarifies that she never sought to infer that Lily Mohammed had bleached or done BBL because she does not know her.

If Lily felt offended, sorry, but that was definitely not the intention.

I’ve also read posts and comments about my marriage. To those people, I’d say focus on your marriage if you have one or when you enter one.

There are also those who say Louisa is ugly. Really? This woman, right here at 52 years old after giving birth to three children, is ugly? Create a human, let’s see how you fare.

Finally, to the “friends” who joined the troll or fueled it, what real friends will do would be to reach out privately to obtain some context or seek to correct if necessary.

I’ve never trolled or joined trolling of a friend and would never do that. But hey, we’re all brought up differently, which is why we will always have differences in opinions.

Stay well.

…and to you, Louisa, I love you always”, his post concluded.

“We have seen Ken’s body language, he is bitter” – MP

0

Thomas Worlanyo Tsekpo, a member of Parliament for Hohoe, has said Ken Agyapong, a defeated NPP presidential aspirant, is better following the outcome of the party’s primaries.

According to the Hohoe MP, Ken Agyapong’s body language shows a bitter man.

He further claimed that Ken Agyapong contributed to his own defeat in the NPP election after he failed to challenge the flawed NPP primaries process.

Speaking in an interview on Channel TV on February 1, 2026, the Hohoe MP explained, “We have seen in his body language that the man is bitter. Kennedy Agyapong is bitter,” he alleged.

“The NPP’s primary was rigged from day one. You don’t rig an election at the polling station; the rigging happens in the process that leads to the election itself,” he said.

“He allowed the process to go through, and he is now facing the music,” he added.

Also, Thomas Worlanyo Tsekpo further debunked rumours that the NDC fears Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

The Hohoe MP boldly stated that the NDC is unshaken by the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) choice of flagbearer, adding that Bawumia is not a threat.

He added, “We’re not perturbed by the candidate they have elected. We would have been a bit shaken if Kennedy Agyapong had come. Because this is a candidate that things we didn’t know about him have been put out by his own party people, including Kennedy Agyapong. All that we need to do in 2028 is play the videos they’ve brought out.

“All the secrets we need about Bawumia, his own party people have brought them out. So, it’s not a challenge; we are going to start our reorganisation. We are not afraid of Dr Bawumia; we are going to meet him squarely when the time comes”.

He added, “It was a well-organised event, we congratulate them,” he added.

Meanwhile, Ken Agyapong has accepted the results of the party’s presidential primary, calling for all supporters to back Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

According to Ken Agyapong, he pledges his support and has accepted the results declared by the EC.

He further called on his supporters to stay calm, respect the results as they work to win the 2028 election. 

Speaking after the declaration of results by the Electoral Commission at the party headquarters in Accra on Saturday, January 31, Ken Agyapong stated, “I stand before you to pledge my support and also to accept the results declared by the EC. The delegates have spoken, and I want to plead with my supporters that they should stay calm and respect the results and help all of us to work together to win the 2028 elections”.

“I want to thank my supporters and advise you that in an election, you can win and lose. So if you lose, you need to accept it in good faith,” he added.

“So let’s all of us throw our support to Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer, and all I say is NPP we need unity in the party, but unity comes with respect. we have to respect each other’s views,” he stated.

The son of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, Charles Akwesi Asiedu, has dropped a cryptic post amid his father’s flagbearer ambition.

Charles Akwesi Asiedu, who serves as a Member of Parliament for Tano South on January 31, 2026, shared a flyer of his father with an inscription which read, “Time Aso oooo Time Aso” meaning “The time has come”.

Asiedu Nketiah’s son’s post quickly attracted attention with several Ghanaians on Facebook indicating that Asiedu Nketiah may be preparing to contest for the NDC flagbearership to succeed President John Mahama.

Furthermore, last year, Johnson Asiedu Nketia reacted to rumours surrounding his presidential ambition.

The NDC chairman emphasised it is too early for the NDC to be thinking about President John Dramani Mahama’s successor.

According to him, when the NDC get to the bridge, they will need to decide who their next flagbearer will be they will cross it.

Asiedu Nketia noted that eight months after the NDC won the 2024 election, the issues must never be about who succeeds President Mahama, but how the NDC government succeeds.

Speaking on Channel One TV’s Face to Face on Tuesday, August 26, Asiedu Nketia detailed, “I have been monitoring this whole discussion about who is running and who is not running for the presidency in the NDC, but I keep repeating my caution that we have to be very careful about the way we express our ambitions. Whoever succeeds President Mahama will ride on the achievements of this government.

So, in your effort to succeed, President Mahama, if you conduct yourself in ways that will disrupt the activities of this government, in ways that will make the government less successful, then you will have a bigger problem when you become flagbearer. That is why I have been cautioning that let us wait till the time,” he stated.

He added, “President Mahama is only about eight months in office now, and you want to struggle for who will replace him. All the names we are hearing, including my own name, are occupying sensitive positions both in the party and the government. If all of us decide to say that people say I can be president, so let me start organizing, then everybody will be going across the country, appointing campaign coordinators and so on.

How do you think that President Mahama can keep the party and government together and focus on achieving anything? If you are a minister and you are overtaken by your desire to be a president, everything you do will be to satisfy your ambition.”

In related news, the Global InfoAnalytics’ new poll has revealed that Johnson Asiedu Nketia of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) holds a slim lead over Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in a potential 2028 presidential matchup.

The poll shows Asiedu Nketia commands 50 per cent of voter support, while Dr Bawumia follows closely with 45 per cent, with the 5 per cent of respondents preferring another candidate.

According to Global InfoAnalytics, the narrow margins highlight the prospect of a fiercely contested race if the matchup materialises.

Meanwhile, Prophet Telvin Sowah, a Ghanaian man of God, has boldly prophesied that the current National Democratic Congress (NDC) National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, will become Ghana’s president in 2028.

According to Prophet Telvin Sowah, Asiedu Nketia will become Ghana’s president in 2028 and will serve for two terms.

He emphasised that the New Patriotic Party in 2028 will garner 44.78 per cent in the election, with the NDC winning by 53 per cent.

Speaking in an interview on Accra FM, shared on TikTok, Prophet Telvin Sowah stated, “NPP results 2028, 44.78 per cent, NDC presidential results are 53 per cent. Asiedu Nketia will be the president of Ghana in 2028, and he will serve for 8 years”.

“Unity is the lifeblood of our party; disunity is its slow poison” – Afenyo-Markin tells NPP

0

Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader and Member of Parliament for Effutu, has told the members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that unity is the lifeblood of our party and disunity is its slow poison.

According to Afenyo-Markin, the NPP has historically lost elections whenever disunity crept into its ranks, regardless of its message or leadership.

Afenyo-Markin told NPP members to rally behind the party’s chosen flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, to secure victory in the 2028 general elections.

He further cautioned against a repeat of the 2024 elections, citing what he described as “skirt and blouse” voting, which contributed to the party’s defeat.

Afenyo-Marlin traced the party’s electoral fortunes within the Danquah-Busia tradition in 1979, which saw the emergence of the UNC and PFP, paving the way for the PNP under Hilla Limann to win power, adding that electoral losses in 1992, 1996, 2008, and 2012 were also due to a lack of cohesion.

Speaking at a convention of key NPP stakeholders in the Effutu Constituency after the party’s flagbearer contest, Afenyo-Markin explained, “We have to learn from our history when we talk about unity. History has taught us harsh but clear lessons about disunity.

“When our ranks were divided, when factions spoke louder than unity, we lost painfully to the NDC. Each defeat carried a reminder: a divided NPP cannot win, no matter how noble our message is,” he said.

He recounted that the NPP’s victories in 2000, 2004, 2016, and 2020 are evidence of unity being key for electoral success.

The Minority leader added, “When our ranks were divided, when factions spoke louder than unity, we lost painfully to the NDC. Each defeat carried a reminder: a divided NPP cannot win, no matter how noble our message is”.

“But look at the other side of our history. When we stood together as one and rallied behind our leader despite our differences, victory stood with us. The formula for success is therefore clear: unity is the lifeblood of our party; disunity is its slow poison,” he stressed.

“We must not allow the 2024 result to repeat itself, no more ‘skirt and blouse’ voting. If Dr. Bawumia fails, it is we who have failed him. Let us not fail him. Let us work for him, work for the party, and work for our country,” he said.

Meanwhile, Dr Bawumia, the newly elected NPP flagbearer, has told NPP members that in the 2024 elections, there was a clear difference between the NDC votes and the NPP votes, saying, “The NDC vote they didn’t get much more than they did in 2020, it is basically the same, the NPP votes basically collapsed 2.1 million less because our own people decided not to come out to vote so it an internal problem”.

So, fundamentally, if we solve that internal problem, you are on your way to victory, because if 2.1 million people had voted, we would have won. That’s it, I am going to be very open-minded, open-hearted and open-armed, I will bring everybody, even those who were insulting me, I am going to bring them all together”.

He further called on all party members to put aside differences and work together to win the 2028 elections.

Speaking after being officially declared the NPP flagbearer, Dr Bawumia stressed that the outcome of the election should mark the beginning of cooperation among party members.

He further appealed to delegates and supporters across the country to let go of any reservations they may have and unite behind the party’s vision.

Dr Bawumia stated, “Together we stand, divided we fall.”

Charles Adenkule, the suspect, is now in custody as investigations continue.

According to IGP Yohunu, anyone who attempts to bribe a Police Officer in the line of duty will be disgraced.

He stressed that Police Officer now prefer to be promoted for good behaviour rather than accept bribes.

Annoh-Dompreh eyeing NPP 2028 running mate slot – Reports

0

Reports circulating claim Frank Annoh-Dompreh, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Nsawam/Adoagyiri, is reportedly positioning himself for the vice-presidential slot ahead of the 2028 general election.

The reports claim Annoh-Dompreh is plotting to secure a running mate slot with the newly elected NPP flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

According to the reports, Annoh-Dompreh highlighted that Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, who was Dr Bawumia’s running mate for the 2024 election, added little electoral value to the ticket.

In a post by Ghana Chronicles on X stated, “Sources close to the Bawumia campaign say Mr Annoh-Dompreh has been openly critical of Dr Bawumia’s 2024 running mate, Matthew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as NAPO, arguing that the former Energy Minister added little electoral value to the ticket in the December 2024 elections and should not be retained should Dr Bawumia secure the party’s nomination again.

The Nsawam/Adoagyiri MP is said to be touting his own credentials in support of his ambitions, citing his parliamentary seniority as a fourth-term legislator, his current role as Minority Chief Whip, and what he describes as his broad national appeal.

He has also reportedly cited his maternal Ashanti heritage, fluency in Ewe, marriage to a northern woman, Barbara, and his representation of a constituency in the Eastern Region as factors that enhance his appeal as a unifying figure within the opposition party”.

However, Miracles Aboagye, an aide to the NPP flagbearer, has said all aspirants in the NPP 2026 presidential race could be running mates to Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

According to Miracles Aboagye, finishing second in the contest does not form part of the criteria for selecting a vice-presidential candidate.

His comments follow speculation that Dr Bryan Acheampong’s strong performance in the New Patriotic Party (NPP)’s flagbearer contest could place him in pole position for the running mate slot.

Speaking on Channel1 TV on Sunday, February 2026, Miracles Aboagye detailed the NPP’s criteria for selecting a running mate.

Miracles Aboagyeexplained, “The selection of the mate is purely the prerogative of the candidate in consultation with the National Council. There are several criteria that come into play. One of them does not include becoming second or third in the contest”.

“All the aspirants we ran with Dr Bawumia are people who could actually be running mates, but not because they ran with him and they were second or third or fourth,” he said.

He added, “It is a prerogative of the candidate in consultation with the National Council,” he said, adding that “when the time is due, the indicators will be used to ensure that the right person, the best person, is selected to run with Dr Bawumia to give us the outcome that we want as a party.”

Meanwhile, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the newly elected flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called on all party members to put aside differences and work together to win the 2028 elections.

Speaking after being officially declared the NPP flagbearer, Dr Bawumia stressed that the outcome of the election should mark the beginning of cooperation among party members.

He further appealed to delegates and supporters across the country to let go of any reservations they may have and unite behind the party’s vision.

Dr Bawumia stated, “Together we stand, divided we fall.”

“I am happier about these results than I was in 2023” – Dr Bawumia

0

The newly elected New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has said he is happier about his performance in the party’s 2026 presidential primaries than in 2023.

Dr Bawumia detailed that the whole country spoke for him, and looking at the data his 2026 result is superior to 2023 qualitatively.

The NPP flagbearer highlighted that in Greater Accra, he won 32 out of 34 constituencies, but in 2023, he won 19 and further cited the 100 per cent win in some other constituencies across the country.

Speaking to some NPP members after his victory, Dr Bawumia explained, “The whole country spoke, frankly, I am happier about these results than I was in 2023. If you look at the data, this is a superior result than 2023 qualitatively because we have won more constituecies that we did the last time.

100 per cent in Western North, so many places, Bono, Ahafo, Bono East, 100 per cent of all those seats. Ashanti 45 out of 47 massively, in Greater Accra 32 out of 34. In 2023, I won 19 and this time 32”.   

Dr Bawumia further added, “Going round the country, I was very expectant looking at how we were being received across the country, but actually had it manifest yesterday was something to uphold.

So, the responsibility has been placed on us, and we have to deliver and to expect nothing short of victory in 2028. A lot of confidence has been repose on me, and we have to deliver the victory from now to 2028; we have three years to do it”.

Dr Bawumia further highlighted that in the 2024 elections, there was a clear difference between the NDC votes and the NPP votes, saying, “The NDC vote they didn’t get much more than they did in 2020, it is basically the same, the NPP votes basically collapsed 2.1 million less because our own people decided not to come out to vote so it an internal problem”.

So, fundamentally, if we solve that internal problem, you are on your way to victory, because if 2.1 million people had voted, we would have won. That’s it, I am going to be very open-minded, open-hearted and open-armed, I will bring everybody, even those who were insulting me, I am going to bring them all together”.

However, in  2023, Dr Bawumia won the Presidential Primaries with 118,210 votes, representing  61.47% of the total valid votes cast, with his closest rival, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong (Assin Central Member of Parliament), polling 71,996 votes, representing 37.41%, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto (former Minister for Agriculture) polled 1,459 votes, representing 0.76%, and Honourable Francis Addai-Nimoh (former Member of Parliament of Mampong) polled 781 votes, representing 0.41%.

In 2026, the former Vice President secured a commanding victory in the party’s presidential primary held on Saturday Janurary 31, 2026.

His overall percentage dropped from 118,210 votes, representing   61.47%, to 110,645, representing 56.48 per cent.

Dr Bawumia is now set to lead the NPP in the 2028 election as they seek to regain power from the NDC.

Dr Bawumia polled 110,645, representing 56.48 per cent of the total valid votes cast, which was confirmed by Electoral Commission officials at the party’s headquarters.

Ken Agyapong came in second place with 46, 554 votes (23.76%), while Dr Bryan Acheampong secured third position with 36,303 votes (18.53%).

They were followed by Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum in fourth place with 1,999 votes (1.02%) and Kwabena Agyei Agyepong in fifth with 402 votes, representing 0.21%.

All aspirants could be running mates, but slot not a reward for 2nd place – Miracles Aboagye

Miracles Aboagye, an aide to the NPP flagbearer, has said all aspirants in the NPP 2026 presidential race could be running mates to Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

Also, Miracles Aboagye further detailed that Bryan Acheampong didn’t shake Dr Bawumia’s base, but rather split Kennedy Agyapong’s base.

He added, “We always knew that Bryan Acheampong’s entering into the race was surely going to hurt Kennedy Agyapong more than Dr Bawumia”.

When asked if Dr Acheampong’s performance shocked the Bawumia camp, he stated “No, we are not”.

Miracles Aboagye added, “The NPP has an existing system within the party. The NPP is a party of ideologies. You would always find some seven people who always think alike and move together, and act together.

“The Bawumia supporters are more static. They are a bit more stable than the other candidates. The supporters of Kennedy Agyapong were not necessarily loyalists of Kennedy Agyapong. Especially what happened in 2023 when Alan Kyerematen left, they all consolidated around him,” he said.

“So once they get another alternative in Dr Bryan Acheampong, you could see them splitting. Now, Dr Bawumia, the difference between him and the second-place person has moved to 33 per cent if you compare to 2023,” he said.

“Ken is a true friend, with whom I share a code” – Afenyo-Markin on NPP primaries brouhaha

0

Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader of Parliament, has revealed that Ken Agyapong is a true and trusted friend in whom he shares a code.

According to Afenyo-Markin, his relationship with Kennedy Agyapong remains unsoiled till time shall be no more, however, adding that NPP comes first.

Afenyo-Markin highlighted that Ken Agyapong has passion, belief in accountability and has an unshakeable commitment to the ordinary Ghanaian.

Speaking during a programme in his constituency on February 1, 2026, Afenyo-Markin stated, “We salute Honourable Kennedy Ohene Agyapong for his passion, his firm belief in accountability and his unshakeable commitment to the ordinary Ghanaian. For me personally, this is a true and trusted friend, with whom I share a code. I believe that in life, loyalty to friendship is very essential.

“A man must not forget his friend because there is everything wrong with betraying a friend. My relationship with him remains unsoiled, till time shall be no more. But I equally recognize and he himself recognises, that our party comes first, “he said.

“I am therefore happy to inform you, my constituents, that yesterday he graciously, without any prompting, spoke with our flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia. It was a short but hearty chat, and he gave his commitment to support Dr Bawumia to win the 2028 election.”

Also, Afenyo-Markin, during the NPP primaries on January 31, issued a statement over alleged claims of him influencing voters in Effutu.

According to Afenyo-Markin, the claims of his influencing voters and compromised ballot secrecy are entirely false and constitute a deliberate distortion of facts.

The minority leader stressed that he has been targeted by certain unscrupulous individuals throughout the beginning of the flagbearer contest.

Afenyo-Markin’s comments come on the back of speculations about his personality following the conclusion of the NPP presidential primaries, where Kennedy Agyapong recorded a landslide victory in his constituency.

Netizens on social media accused Afenyo-Markin of supporting Kennedy Agyapong, with others even calling for his removal as Minority Leader after Dr Bawumia won the primaries.

Meanwhile, Ken Agyapong, a defeated New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential hopeful, has publicly told the Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, to step down as minority leader.

According to Kennedy Agyapong, there is internal jostling to oust Afenyo-Markin as minority leader.

He revealed that some persons within the NPP believe the Minority Leader should come from the Eastern Region or the Ashanti Region.

Kennedy Agyapong further added that he has already told the minority leader to leave the position for them.

Speaking in an interview on UTV on December 15, Kennedy Agyapong stated, “He is well-to-do, so he should leave the position for those who are fighting him”.

“Those criticising Alexander Afenyo-Markin’s leadership want positions. Some people are arguing that the Minority Leader should come from the Eastern Region or the Ashanti Region. I have told him to leave the position for them, and I have personally called him to tell him to step aside.”

“If it were in the olden days, I would have mentioned all those seeking his position’s names, but now I won’t. He can eat for the rest of his life, and it shouldn’t look like being an MP is the only way to survive,” Agyapong stated.

“I cannot ask you to stay or to leave” – Prophet ElBernard tells congregation after failed Ken prophesy

0

Prophet Bernard El Bernard Nelson-Eshun, the Founder of Spiritlife Revival Ministries, has told his congregation that the choice to stay or leave the church after a failed prophecy is theirs alone.

According to Prophet ElBernard, he understands the reactions may vary, but he remains committed to the church and its members, even as he steps back from the pulpit.

He revealed that in his book, written years ago and released in 2025, he stressed the steps a prophet must take when a prophetic word does not come to pass.

Speaking to worshippers during a church service, Prophet ElBernard explained, “There are several things I need to say even before the service comes to an end. In my book, in the School of Prophecy, in chapter 16, page 125, the title is ‘When prophets miss it’. This is a book I wrote several years ago, but was released last year, and I outlined what must happen and what must be done when a prophet misses a prophetic word”.

“… I am not the type of pastor who needs encouragement because I am already an encouragement. I need you as a member of this family to hold me up to integrity and hold me up to whatever I say the Lord said. I need you to hold me up to that realm of accountability,” he told his congregation.

He further indicated, “For now, I have submitted to the writings in this book, and I’ve released two statements. One is the public statement and apology. Number two is the statement of accountability. I have released these statements for now… Because I hold myself accountable, everything I wanted to tell you is in that statement”.

“I can’t determine and influence how you respond and how you react, but I just wanted to understand that I am still here. I am not going to ask you to stay here, nor am I asking you to leave, but in the spirit of humility and accountability, I have told you what I would do for now. I will be back. There are so many things to say, but at the right time I will say what must be said”.

Prophet further revealed that he will not be preaching for several weeks, although he will continue to attend church services.

The man of God added, “So, this morning, I’m not going to preach the word of God to you for several weeks. I will not be preaching, even though I’ll be in service. I have taught you over the years that no matter what happens to you, there are two important things you don’t have to lose; number one, never lose God. You’re believing the Lord Jesus Christ, you’re believing what he can do.

“And number two, never lose yourself because if you lose yourself, there will not be you. My name is Bernard ElBernard Nelson-Eshun,” he said amid cheers from the congregation.

Meanwhile, the man of God has issued a public apology after his failed prophecy predicting victory for Kennedy Ohene Agyapong.

According to Prophet Elbernard, he will not blame anyone or shift responsibility, adding that he accepts that this prophecy failed.

In a Facebook post on Saturday, January 31, after provisional results from the NPP presidential primaries clearly show victory for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Prophet Elbernard begged Ghanaians forgiveness.

He further added that he has decided to take a break from pulpit ministry following his failed prophecy on the  New Patriotic Party’s presidential primaries.

According to Prophet ElBernard, he will step back from public teaching, preaching, and pulpit ministry to allow for reflection, prayer and counsel.

In an accountability statement issued on January 31, Prophet ElBernard stated, “In the same spirit of responsibility, 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐩𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫y. This is a deliberate and voluntary step to allow for reflection, prayer, counsel, and the strengthening of accountability in how prophetic revelations are received, interpreted, and communicated.”

“When Bawumia is not on the ballot, NPP sinks very low” – Mussa Dankwah

0

Mussa Dankwah, the Executive Director of Global InfoAnalytics, has said that when former vice president, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, is not on the ballot, the NPP sinks.

According to Mussa Dankwah, the Global InfoAnalytics polls regarding the head-to-head between the NPP candidates and NDC candidates, when Bawumia is not on the ballot, the NPP sinks. 

He further stressed that if Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is taken out of the NPP, the party’s support in the Northern Region collapses.

Speaking on GHOne TV, Mussa Dankwah stated, “The data shows currently if you take Dr Bawumia out of the NPP equation, their support in the Northern Region collapses, and the Northern Region is not an area that they are strong at.

So you need a figure to hold that region together, and Bawumia is the one who is doing that.

In the Akan areas, that is basically NPP’s base, even if there is a fracture at a point in time, they will come back, but when the North goes from the NPP, it will be hard for them to come back to the NPP. They think that, strategically, it is better to present Dr Bawumia again to hold the North together than ditch him and lose the Northern Region.

Mussa Dankwah added, “From the polls we have done, the scenrio what we call the head-to-head between the NPP candidates and NDC candidates, when Bawumia is not on the ballot, NPP sinks very low nationally, and that number is driven by performance in the North. So they have an eye on that data”.

Before, the NPP had a grip on the Akan part of the country, but now they have lost it, so if they have lost the Akan base and lose the North, that will be a disaster.

Nationally, Akans 36 per cent say they are NDC, 31 per cent say they are NPP. It has never happened before, they are saying that even if the Akans are angry at NPP, it’s theirs, they will come back, but those in the North, if they are angry and go…”. 

Meanwhile, Mussa Dankwah projected that former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia will win 14 out of the 16 regions in the NPP primaries scheduled for Saturday, January 31.

Speaking on Channel One TV’s The Point of View with Bernard Avle on Wednesday, January 28, Mussa Dankwah highlighted that Dr Bawumia will secure a decisive victory in the Ashanti Region.

Mussa Dankwah stated, “Yes, [Bawumia will win in 14 regions out of 16 regions].”

He further highlighted that available data points to a clear victory for the 2024 NPP flagbearer.

“All the areas we have looked at are pointing in one direction, and that direction is that Bawumia will win this Saturday’s election one-touch,” he stated.

Mussa Dankwah also detailed that Dr Bawumia’s vote is projected to gain between 54 and 60 per cent, factoring in a three per cent margin of error.

He explained, “Based on our model, his lowest score will be 54 per cent, which is the 57 per cent we are giving him minus the three per cent margin of error, or he could get up to 60 per cent”.

He attributed the confidence in the projection to the stability of the data. “I am very confident in Bawumia’s numbers because they are more stable in terms of variability. There is no noise in the data,” he added.

My “best friend” Ken Agyapong insulted me till his wife, and I cried – KT Hammond opens up

0

KT Hammond, the former Member of Parliament for Adansi Asokwa and a close friend of Ken Agyapong, has explained why he did not support Ken’s bid to become NPP flagbearer.

According to KT Hammond, KenAgyapong is a very close friend, adding that his relationship with Ken Agyapong is not a food relationship.

KT Hammond revealed that Ken Agyapong recently insulted him over a matter that he had wanted to disclose to him.

Speaking in an interview on January 31, 2026, KT Hammond explained, “My relationship with Ken Agyapong is not a food relationship; we go deep, deep down. The reason why, he adopted me as his brother is because of the extraordinary amount of help that I have bestowed on him.

Sometime in August, I was sitting at my desk when Ken called me. He made a complaint about the MP for Mampong about something that had happened in Mampong that did not seem to be true. That matter had gone viral, it was that Adu Boahene thing, which ended up with all the name-calling he piled on Dr Bawumia”.

He further added, “ I have been given some information related to Ken himself, and I thought it was important I give it to him, so I said to Ken, but I have actually been looking for you because there is this matter that I want to bring to your attention. This is all I said. Ken insulted me as if he had gone mad, as if he had gone bonkers. He said whatever he wanted to say to me.

“And I’m telling you, the wife that I mentioned was crying in the car. They were shouting at him, Ken, this is actually KT you are talking to. What is the matter?” he recounted.

KT Hammond further revealed that Ken had disclosed to him in private that a Muslim could not become president, adding that he told him that was nonsense.

He further explained, “But he had been going on about this Muslim thing. In private, he had told me that if you were Muslim, you cannot be a president in Ghana. I told him, you are talking nonsense.

“Keep this between the two of us. You go out, and you talk nonsense like that; there will be a problem. You know I’m a Muslim.

“Do you people know I’m a Muslim? And I go and follow Ken for him to spread the message that as a Muslim, you can’t be president.

“You think I’m mad? Apart from his money, what has distinguished me from Kennedy Agyapong? If he could be president, you think I can’t be president? Tell me, I can be president, Ken can be president. And you expect me to go and follow him and send a campaign to Muslims that we Muslims cannot be president,” he added.

Meanwhile, Ken Agyapong, a New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer aspirant, has accepted the results of the party’s presidential primary, calling for all supporters to back Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

According to Ken Agyapong, he pledges his support and has accepted the results declared by the EC.

He further called on his supporters to stay calm, respect the results as they work to win the 2028 election.  

Speaking after the declaration of results by the Electoral Commission at the party headquarters in Accra on Saturday, January 31, Ken Agyapong stated, “I stand before you to pledge my support and also to accept the results declared by the EC. The delegates have spoken, and I want to plead with my supporters that they should stay calm and respect the results and help all of us to work together to win the 2028 elections”.

“I want to thank my supporters and advise you that in an election, you can win and lose. So if you lose, you need to accept it in good faith,” he added.

“So let’s all of us throw our support to Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer, and all I say is NPP we need unity in the party, but unity comes with respect. we have to respect each other’s views,” he stated.

In the viral video, Prophet Worlasi was captured with a blue cake inscribed with the words “Prophecy Fulfilled” that was displayed during the celebration, jubilating with his family.

The man of God, leading up to the NPP presidential primaries, had consistently prophesied that Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, a former Vice President, would win the primaries.

Prophet Worlasi in the video stated, “I have no strength. I have no power to, I mean, bring my prophecy to manifestation. But it’s all about Jesus”.

According to Prophet Worlasi, he told Ken it was too late for any spiritual assistance.

Prophet Emmanuel Worlasi further added that he is even surprised when men of God declare Ken Agyapong as the winner of the NPP primaries, saying, “I’m even surprised when I hear other men of God say that Agyapong is going to win, but let’s leave it to time.

“Bawumia will never be president in Ghana, never” – Sister of Archbishop Duncan Williams

0

Victoria Duncan-Williams, the younger sister of the renowned Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, the leader and founder of Action Chapel International, has made shocking claims against the newly elected NPP flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

According to Victoria Duncan-Williams, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia can never be president in Ghana.

The Sister of Archbishop Duncan Williams claimed that Dr Bawumia has no message for the people of Ghana.

Speaking to the media, the sister of Archbishop Duncan Williams and a disgruntled Kennedy Agyapong supporter stated, “Bawumia will never be president in Ghana, never, the man has no message, you telling me you are going to build toilets at Agboloshie you could not even do it, you have eight years to do something for the North you could not do it.

Bawumia said he brought the drowns, he never brought the drone, he said he digital he never did that, everything Bawumia said he brought he never did. He came and met the Ghana card.

What are you people talking about? He has no message. Bawumia is taking NPP down, just like his father took UP down. Have you heard Bawumia talking about his father before?”  

However, Mussa Dankwah, the Executive Director of Global InfoAnalytics, has said that when the former vice president, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, is taken out of the NPP, the party’s support in the Northern Region collapses.

According to Mussa Dankwah, the Global InfoAnalytics polls regarding the head-to-head between the NPP candidates and NDC candidates, when Bawumia is not on the ballot, the NPP sinks. 

Speaking on GHOne TV, Mussa Dankwah stated, “The data shows currently if you take Dr Bawumia out of the NPP equation, their support in the Northern Region collapses, and the Northern Region is not an area that they are strong at.

“To the wannabe, not everyone has eyes to see what pollsters see” – Mussa Dankwah throw shades

0

Mussa Dankwah, the Executive Director of Global InfoAnalytics, has thrown a shade at analysts, communicators, and self-styled political researchers following the outcome of the NPP’s 2026 presidential primary.

According to Mussa Dankwah, the wannabes do not have the eyes of what pollsters like himself see.

In a Facebook post on Sunday, February 1, Mussa Dankwah explained that Bawumia’s performance closely aligned with Global InfoAnalytics’ forecasts, missing their projection by just 0.5 per cent.

He further noted that Ken Agyapong underperformed by 4.5 per cent, putting him outside the forecasted range, adding that the Abetifi MP, Dr Bryan Acheampong, outperformed polling predictions by 5.5 per cent among undecided and previously undisclosed delegates.

He cited Ken’s controversial campaign conduct that included an insult-laden video circulating in the final weeks of the race for the drop in projected numbers.

“Such actions gave undecided delegates an opportunity to rethink their choices, and Dr Bawumia ultimately benefited from that gaffe”.

“The weekly tracking data also shows that DBA’s rise in the favourability rating was phenomenal, increasing by 5.4 in the last four weeks of the campaign compared to DMB, 2.1 and KOA, 0.1,” Dankwah said.

Mussa Dankwah further explained the difference between pollsters and researchers.

He explained that Pollsters provide the lead, and researchers go in to probe why.

“There is a difference between pollsters and researchers,” he said. “Pollsters provide the lead, and researchers go in to probe why. Pollsters can only triangulate. Small advice to wannabe party researchers: don’t turn polls into in-depth research. The objectives are not the same. Not everyone has the eyes to see what pollsters can see.”

His remarks follow, Dr Evans Duah, a Researcher, financial economist and chartered accountant, who, before the polls, claimed that none of the five New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential candidates would cross the 50+1 to secure an outright victory.

Speaking on Channel One TV’s The Point of View on Wednesday, January 28, Dr Evans Duah, however, stressed that the race remains competitive, but data shows only Ken Agyapong can cross 50+1.

According to Dr Evans Duah, his judgment is informed not only by empirical data but also by recent engagements on the ground.

He further disclosed that he engaged the middle belt and other regions last week to gauge the mood within the party ahead of primaries.

Dr Evans Duah explained, “A lot of people are missing the strategy and, if you ask me confidently, none of the five candidates will cross that 50+1 on Saturday. And if anyone does, it will be Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong. I stand by this, and it is based on data”.

“What is happening on the ground is that, from a strategy and intelligence point of view, there is a lot of social media cosmetic campaigning going on,” he said

Meanwhile, the former Vice President secured a commanding victory in the party’s presidential primary held on Saturday Janurary 31, 2026.

Dr Bawumia is now set to lead the NPP in the 2028 election as they seek to regain power from the NDC.

“God does not lie” – Manasseh blasts Prophet ElBernard

0

Manasseh Azure Awuni, an Investigative journalist, has fired shots at Prophet Bernard ElBernard, the Founder and General Overseer of Spiritlife Revival Ministries.

In a short social media post following the declaration of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as the NPP flagbearer, Manasseh stated God does not lie.

In his post on X, Manasseh Azure Awuni simply wrote, “God does not lie”.

His remarks follow Prophet ElBernard, on many occasions, who boldly declared Kennedy Ohene Agyapong as the winner of the NPP primaries.

Meanwhile, the man of God has issued a public apology after his failed prophecy predicting victory for Kennedy Ohene Agyapong.

According to Prophet Elbernard, he will not blame anyone or shift responsibility, adding that he accepts that this prophecy failed.

In a Facebook post on Saturday, January 31, after provisional results from the NPP presidential primaries clearly show victory for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Prophet Elbernard begged Ghanaians forgiveness.

In his post, he wrote, “I wish to address the inaccurate prophetic declarations I made concerning the New Patriotic Party presidential primaries. Through a book, videos, and media interviews, I stated that Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong would win the primaries and become the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party. That word did not come to pass. I missed it. I was wrong. I am deeply sorry, and I ask for your forgiveness.”

Because I spoke publicly with prophetic authority, many people trusted my word, and some were affected emotionally, spiritually, and politically. I acknowledge this with humility.

“I take full responsibility for this prophetic word. I sincerely apologise to everyone who trusted my word and was hurt, disappointed, or negatively impacted in any way. I am especially sorry to those who made decisions based on what I declared. I do not blame anyone or shift responsibility. I accept that this prophecy, as declared, failed.”

I do not blame anyone or shift responsibility. I accept that this prophecy, as declared, failed.

In his post, he wrote, “I wish to address the inaccurate prophetic declarations I made concerning the New Patriotic Party presidential primaries.

“Do not fake the voice of the Lord our God” – Methodist Bishop tells Prophets

0

Professor Kwabena Asamoah-Gyadu, the Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church in Ghana, has told Ghanaian Prophets not to fake the voice of the Lord our God.

The Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church in Ghana warned against the growing culture of deceptive prophetic practices in contemporary Christianity.

In a Facebook post on Saturday, January 31, Professor Asamoah-Gyadu stated, “Prophecy is when the Lord speaks to his people through human vessels,” he said, concluding with the admonition: “Do not fake the voice of the Lord our God.”

“The extent of catastrophic prophetic failures in Christianity today is tragic,” he added.

He further cited a case in the United States involving Shawn Bolz, a well-known charismatic figure who was sacked after he was caught sourcing personal information about congregants from the internet as prophetic revelation.

His post added, “In the USA, Shawn Bolz, a so-called prophet, has recently been exposed and dismissed by his church for mining information on church members from the internet and using them as prophetic insights,” he noted, adding, “It is happening in our country too!”

“I pray no minister of the Methodist Church in Ghana is tempted to travel this path of prophetic vainglory,” he stated.

The Methodist Bishop further quizzed,  “How did we come to this as men and women called to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the salvation of souls?”

“This whole deceptive prophetic phenomenon blatantly flouts a particular commandment: ‘Thou shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain…’” he wrote.

Meanwhile, Prophet Bernard ElBernard, the Founder and General Overseer of Spiritlife Revival Ministries, following his failed prophecy has announced he has decided to take a break from pulpit ministry following his failed prophecy on the  New Patriotic Party’s presidential primaries.

According to Prophet ElBernard, he will step back from public teaching, preaching, and pulpit ministry to allow for reflection, prayer and counsel.

OFFICIAL: Dr Bawumia elected NPP flagbearer again

Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the former vice president, has been elected the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) once again.

The former Vice President secured a commanding victory in the party’s presidential primary held on Saturday Janurary 31, 2026.

Dr Bawumia is now set to lead the NPP in the 2028 election as they seek to regain power from the NDC.

Dr Bawumia polled 110,645, representing 56.48 per cent of the total valid votes cast, which was confirmed by Electoral Commission officials at the party’s headquarters.

Ken Agyapong came in second place with 46, 554 votes (23.76%), while Dr Bryan Acheampong secured third position with 36,303 votes (18.53%).

They were followed by Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum in fourth place with 1,999 votes (1.02%) and Kwabena Agyei Agyepong in fifth with 402 votes, representing 0.21%.

Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, following provisional results that project him as the winner of the party’s flagbearer primary, has said he is really humbled that he has been elected to continue the work started.

Speaking after results from several constituencies across the country began trickling in on Saturday, January 31, Dr Bawumia stated, “Let me thank all of you. We’ve gone through a journey. It’s been a fierce battle that we’ve waged across the country, across all the regions, and we couldn’t have gotten here without the support of the team around me”.

“It is really humbling that I have been elected to continue the work they started,” he added, while also acknowledging the contribution of former Members of Parliament.

Meanwhile, 211,849 registered NPP delegates across 16 regions of the country were expected to vote in the keenly anticipated NPP presidential primaries.

NPP delegates from all 16 regions, and all 275 constituencies, grassroots organisers, constituency executives, and Members of Parliament are expected to vote.

Over 900 voting centres were set up for the exercise, with voting ending at  3:00 PM, after which counting has now commenced immediately with, a central collation centre has been established in Accra, where all certified results from each of the 275 constituencies will be transmitted for final certification and declaration.

In total, over 211,000 delegates cast their in the NPP primaries.

Also, Mussa Dankwah, the Executive Director of Global InfoAnalytics, has said that when the former vice president, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, is taken out of the NPP, the party’s support in the Northern Region collapses.

According to Mussa Dankwah, the Global InfoAnalytics polls regarding the head-to-head between the NPP candidates and NDC candidates, when Bawumia is not on the ballot, the NPP sinks.  

Speaking on GHOne TV, Mussa Dankwah stated, “The data shows currently if you take Dr Bawumia out of the NPP equation, their support in the Northern Region collapses, and the Northern Region is not an area that they are strong at.

So you need a figure to hold that region together, and Bawumia is the one who is doing that.

In the Akan areas, that is basically NPP’s base, even if there is a fracture at a point in time, they will come back, but when the North goes from the NPP, it will be hard for them to come back to the NPP. They think that, strategically, it is better to present Dr Bawumia again to hold the North together than ditch him and lose the Northern Region.

Mussa Dankwah added, “From the polls we have done, the scenrio what we call the head-to-head between the NPP candidates and NDC candidates, when Bawumia is not on the ballot, NPP sinks very low nationally, and that number is driven by performance in the North. So they have an eye on that data”.

Before, the NPP had a grip on the Akan part of the country, but now they have lost it, so if they have lost the Akan base and lose the North, that will be a disaster.

Nationally, Akans 36 per cent say they are NDC, 31 per cent say they are NPP. It has never happened before, they are saying that even if the Akans are angry at NPP, it’s theirs, they will come back, but those in the North, if they are angry and go…”.  

Meanwhile, Mussa Dankwah projected that former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia will win 14 out of the 16 regions in the NPP primaries scheduled for Saturday, January 31.

Speaking on Channel One TV’s The Point of View with Bernard Avle on Wednesday, January 28, Mussa Dankwah highlighted that Dr Bawumia will secure a decisive victory in the Ashanti Region.

Mussa Dankwah stated, “Yes, [Bawumia will win in 14 regions out of 16 regions].”

He further highlighted that available data points to a clear victory for the 2024 NPP flagbearer.

“All the areas we have looked at are pointing in one direction, and that direction is that Bawumia will win this Saturday’s election one-touch,” he stated.

Mussa Dankwah also detailed that Dr Bawumia’s vote is projected to gain between 54 and 60 per cent, factoring in a three per cent margin of error.

He explained, “Based on our model, his lowest score will be 54 per cent, which is the 57 per cent we are giving him minus the three per cent margin of error, or he could get up to 60 per cent”.

He attributed the confidence in the projection to the stability of the data. “I am very confident in Bawumia’s numbers because they are more stable in terms of variability. There is no noise in the data,” he added.

“For my sake, you are going down” – Nigel Gaisie says as he prays throughout the night against Ken

0

Prophet Nigel Gaisie, the founder and leader of the Prophetic Hill Chapel, has been spotted in a viral video praying fervently against Kennedy Agyapong.

In the viral video, Nigel Gaisie was seen tearing pieces of paper and placing them into a bottle of anointing oil while praying against Ken Agyapong.

Speaking in the viral video, Nigel Gaisie stated, “Because you stood against me, a prophet of the Lord, I have written your name 13 times. On the election day, the North wind will blow against you, the east will blow against you and the south.

You will know that there are prophets in Ghana, for my sake, Ken Agyapong, you are going down as I have written your name into this bottle, I bury you, politics will reject you”.

It will be recalled that Kennedy Agyapong, in the past, launched a crusade to expose what he described as fake pastors in Ghana.

Mr Agyapong’s on his Hot Seat show on Net 2 TV targeted Prophet Nigel Gaisie, leader of Prophetic Hill Chapel, and Bishop Daniel Obinim, founder and leader of International God’s Way Church, and other men of God he claimed were fake.

Also, Nigel Gaisie, before the NPP primaries, warned that  Kennedy Agyapong must not be allowed anywhere close to power.

The man of God recounted that Ken Agyapong lied about him, which could have landed him in jail.

Nigel Gaisie further warned Ken Camp to stop editing his videos to suit their interest.

In a Facebook post, Prophet Nigel Gaisie wrote, “Somebody should tell Kennedy’s team to stop editing my videos to suit their interest. I am still the Nigel Gaisie.”

“Kennedy lied about me, but for Hon. Theresa Awuni, I would have been in jail by now,” he stated.

“I have no private interest in their campaign. They should not invite me,” he said. “If not, 30 per cent kraaa dey no go get.”

“Again, they should not annoy me or invite me. I am thinking about myself,” he added.

“Kennedy is a dangerous character and must not be allowed close to power. Nobody should invite me because I will be very, very rough,” he concluded.

Meanwhile, Ken Agyapong has conceded defeat in the NPP Presidential Primaries following early projections placing Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in a commanding lead.

According to Ken Agyapong, God’s time is the best, and he knows what is good for the NPP.

He further acknowledged the outcome of the party’s presidential primary, adding that he was prepared win or lose.

Speaking to the media on Saturday, January 31, Ken Agyapong stated, “I am a veteran politician, so I know. I have gone through several defeats, so I cushion myself and expected the worst, and the worst has happened, but the worst doesn’t mean that is the end of life.

“So keep faith alive and be happy with the outcome. Who knows what will happen tomorrow…The delegates have spoken, and we have to take it. We don’t know what is in store for us tomorrow.”

Ken added. “I want to take this opportunity to thank Team Ken for the wonderful work you’ve done. We all admit we worked hard, but God’s time is the best. He knows what is good for us. I know most of you are dejected; you have to keep your spirit up because once we have life, we have everything. I have taken it coolly because in politics you can win, you can lose”.

“Do not use this against anybody in the party. Once they have decided, let’s all come together as party members and work together. Don’t say that ‘no Ken, no vote.’ If it had been Ken, what would other contestants’ supporters have said? So ‘no Ken, no votes’ should be out. Let’s come together as one people,” he added.

He further recognised the contributions of his team, saying, “So, especially Team Ken, the good works that you’ve done, I want to show my appreciation, and at an appropriate time we will meet and dine together”.

Meanwhile, Prophet Bernard Elbernard Nelson-Eshun, the Founder and General Overseer of Spiritlife Revival Ministries, has issued a public apology after his failed prophecy predicting victory for Kennedy Ohene Agyapong.

According to Prophet Elbernard, he will not blame anyone or shift responsibility, adding that he accepts that this prophecy failed.

In a Facebook post on Saturday, January 31, after provisional results from the NPP presidential primaries clearly show victory for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Prophet Elbernard begged Ghanaians forgiveness.

In his post, he wrote, “I wish to address the inaccurate prophetic declarations I made concerning the New Patriotic Party presidential primaries. Through a book, videos, and media interviews, I stated that Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong would win the primaries and become the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party. That word did not come to pass. I missed it. I was wrong. I am deeply sorry, and I ask for your forgiveness.”

Because I spoke publicly with prophetic authority, many people trusted my word, and some were affected emotionally, spiritually, and politically. I acknowledge this with humility.

“I take full responsibility for this prophetic word. I sincerely apologise to everyone who trusted my word and was hurt, disappointed, or negatively impacted in any way. I am especially sorry to those who made decisions based on what I declared. I do not blame anyone or shift responsibility. I accept that this prophecy, as declared, failed.”

I do not blame anyone or shift responsibility. I accept that this prophecy, as declared, failed.

“God’s time is the best; He knows what is good for us”— Ken Agyapong concedes defeat

0

Ken Agyapong has concede defeat in the NPP Presidential Primaries following early projections placing Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in a commanding lead.

According to Ken Agyapong, God’s time is the best, and he knows what is good for the NPP.

He further acknowledged the outcome of the party’s presidential primary, adding that he was prepared win or lose.

Speaking to the media on Saturday, January 31, Ken Agyapong stated, “I am a veteran politician, so I know. I have gone through several defeats, so I cushion myself and expected the worst, and the worst has happened, but the worst doesn’t mean that is the end of life.

“So keep faith alive and be happy with the outcome. Who knows what will happen tomorrow…The delegates have spoken, and we have to take it. We don’t know what is in store for us tomorrow.”

Ken added. “I want to take this opportunity to thank Team Ken for the wonderful work you’ve done. We all admit we worked hard, but God’s time is the best. He knows what is good for us. I know most of you are dejected; you have to keep your spirit up because once we have life, we have everything. I have taken it coolly because in politics you can win, you can lose”.

“Do not use this against anybody in the party. Once they have decided, let’s all come together as party members and work together. Don’t say that ‘no Ken, no vote.’ If it had been Ken, what would other contestants’ supporters have said? So ‘no Ken, no votes’ should be out. Let’s come together as one people,” he added.

He further recognised the contributions of his team, saying, “So, especially Team Ken, the good works that you’ve done, I want to show my appreciation, and at an appropriate time we will meet and dine together”.

Meanwhile, early projections show former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in the lead with over 56%, with Ken Agyapong and the other trailing in his shadow.

In related news, Kwabena Agyei Agyepong has described the provisional results of the party’s flagbearer race as disappointing.

Speaking after results began trickling in on Saturday, Kwabena Agyei Agyepong  stated, “I would say that the results are very disappointing, but it is politics. I take pride in your dedication, your efforts, your commitment to this strategy.”

“I am comfortable that at the end of the day, the majority of the party has made a decision. It is now time for us to work in harmony, respect for one another, work together, and present the best version of ourselves to the Ghanaian people so we can earn their respect and trust.”

“We’ve received most of the results of this election. I have just called Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to congratulate him on the victory, and we are awaiting the official statement from the EC,” he added.

“I have been targeted” – Afenyo-Markin speaks on alleged claims of influencing voters

0

The minority leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has issued a statement over alleged claims of him influencing voters in Effutu.

According to Afenyo-Markin, the claims of his influencing voters and compromised ballot secrecy are entirely false and constitute a deliberate distortion of facts.

The minority leader stressed that he has been targeted by certain unscrupulous individuals throughout the beginning of the flagbearer contest.

In a social media post on X, Afenyo-Markin wrote, “𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝘆 𝗛𝗼𝗻. 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗳𝗲𝗻𝘆𝗼-𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻, 𝗠𝗣 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿, 𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

I have become aware of circulating claims alleging my presence near a polling booth in Effutu, purportedly influencing voters and compromising ballot secrecy. These assertions are entirely false and constitute a deliberate distortion of facts.

“I have not seen anyone giving money to delegates” – Justin Kodua claims

0

Justin Frimpong, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) General Secretary, has debunked allegations of vote buying in the party’s primaries on January 31, 2026.

According to Justin Kodua, there is no evidence of delegates being given money to influence their voting decisions.

Speaking in an interview with Adom TV, Justin Kodua stated, “So far I have not seen anyone giving money to delegates, so such claims would only denigrate the party’s image. Money will not influence people, so it should be disregarded.

If you give me money, I will take it for transport, but so far, there is no such information,” he clarified.

However, There has been a brief misunderstanding at the Tema East polling station, as some delegates have expressed their dissatisfaction with the polling station coordinators.

The NPP delegates are accusing the polling station coordinators of allegedly withholding funds sent from Bryan Acheampong’s camp, which were intended for their transportation and feeding.

In the viral video shared, one delegate stated, “I am speaking to Bryan Acheampong, the money he gave the Tema East former cordinator he has still not shared the money. People are saying that if the money is not shared, they will not vote.

He should call his people to come and share the money with those willing to vote for him to vote.  They should bring the money right now; there are a lot of people waiting over here. If Bryan Acheampong is listening, people are not sharing his money”.

In another video, this time in Odododiodioo, some delegates also voiced similar concerns, saying, “I am telling Bryan Acheampong that if he doesn’t win the election, he should blame his campaign team. They’re not releasing the money to us. We’ve received money from the other candidates except him”.

Also, the Asylum Down Electoral Area Coordinator in the Klottey-Korle Constituency is being accused of allegedly taking GH₵700 meant for their transportation from flagbearer aspirant Bryan Acheampong.

“Everyone received their money, but when it got to our turn, you refused to give us ours”, a delegate added.

Also, an NPP delegate, identified as Eric Abbey, has revealed he has received money from the camps of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Ken Agyapong and Bryan Acheampong.

The NPP delegates highlighted that someone wanted to run away with Bryan Acheampong’s money, but they have all now received it.

He, however, declined to reveal the amount he received from each camp.

Speaking to the media,  the NPP delegate identified as Eric Abbey stated, “Everything is going on well, no conflict has occurred, Bryan’s money somebody wanted to run away with it, but they have brought it back, and everyone has received theirs, so when we get to the box we will decide who to vote for.

When asked about the amount he receive he declines to answer, saying, “ I cannot mention the amount. When they brought it, they said lorry fare. I have gotten Bryan, Kennedy and Bawumia. I have received from all three”.

“Insha Allah, number 3 is winning” – Sarah Adwoa Safo

Sarah Adwoa Safo, former Dome-Kwabenya member of parliament, has declared that Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is winning the NPP Presidential Primary.

According to Sarah Adwoa Safo, Insha Allah, the Bawumia camp is winning the election.

Speaking to the media, Sarah Adwoa Safo stated, “By God’s grace, everything is going on well, everything is going on well, Insha Allah, we are winning. Number 3 is winning”.

When asked whether she had heard of the allegations of vote buying, Adwoa Safo stated, “I have not heard of any”.

It will be recalled that Sarah Adwoa Safo, ahead of the election, boldly stated political future hinges on the former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia becoming president and not Kennedy Agyapong.

According to Adwoa Safo, she does not hate Kennedy Agyapong as she has two children with him, but everyone has their own mind when it comes to politics, adding that her political career and future are at stake when Mr Agyapong emerge as the party’s leader and eventually becomes President.

She noted that the Kennedy Agyapong, she knows, would never appoint her, and that is why her political career and future would be at stake if he becomes president.

She highlighted that the NPP in government were practing family and friends, which caused the party’s defeat, adding that lessons must be learnt from the defeat.

Speaking to NPP delegates, Adwoa Safo stated, “I am a Politician, and Kennedy Agyapong is a politician; there are a lot of delegates here whose husbands are polling station executives, and the wife is also a polling station executive, don’t we all have our minds in politics.

Kennedy Agyapong has his own mind and ambition, and I am also doing my politics. I do not hate Kennedy Agyapong; I have two children with him, but we are not doing family and friends in the NPP.

The opposition that we are in, we must learn lessons from it; we sat in government doing family and friends, and we are here today, so the external politics, I am not going to do family and friends”, she added.

Adwoa Safo added, “When I stood to contest in the year 2007 till now, I have served as a member of parliament for twelve years, I have been deputy majority leader, minister for procurement, minister for Gender, have I not served you?

Looking at the work I have done and how I have served this nation and my party, for someone I have two children with to consider appointing me as a minister would seem impossible; hell will break loose in this country. And the Kennedy Agyapong I know, with whom I have two children, would never do it. Therefore, my political career and future are at stake. My future lies with Dr Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia”.

“The Kennedy Agyapong I know would never appoint me, and that is why my political career and my future would be at stake if he becomes president,” she stated.

According to news sources, Catherine O’Hara died on January 30, 2026.

Reports suggest the ‘Home Alone’ star died after a brief illness and was rushed to the hospital for breathing trouble.

Catherine O’Hara was born in Toronto in 1954. O’Hara shone in SCTV, Schitt’s Creek, where she won major awards as Moira Rose, Home Alone as Kate McCallister, Beetlejuice, and recent shows like The Studio.

Tributes have started flooding in from Macaulay Culkin, who called her “Mama,” Ron Howard, Ben Stiller, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, while she leaves husband Bo Welch and sons Matthew and Luke.

Macaulay Culkin, in his tribute to Catherine O’Hara, wrote, “Mama. I thought we had time. I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you. I heard you, but I had so much more to say. I love you. I’ll see you later”

Also, Eugene Levy, a Canadian actor, remembers his #SchittsCreek co-star and longtime friend, Catherine O’Hara.

“Words seem inadequate to express the loss I feel today,” Levy wrote. “I had the honor of knowing and working with the great Catherine O’Hara for over fifty years. From our beginnings on the Second City stage, to SCTV, to the movies we did with Chris Guest, to our six glorious years on ‘Schitt’s Creek,’ I cherished our working relationship, but most of all our friendship. And I will miss her. My heart goes out to Bo, Matthew, Luke and the entire O’Hara family.”

Some other fans reacting to the news of her death wrote, “I think catherine o’hara is hitting me so hard bc she was actively working! she was supposed to film the studio! she’s nominated at the upcoming SAG Awards! like she was too young”

“I loved watching her in Schitt’s Creek. I agree with her, being a wife and mother is the most remarkable role of all!

Please join me in praying for the soul of Catherine O’Hara”, another fan wrote.

Another fan stated, “Catherine O’Hara. My goodness. Hard to explain the impact she had on comedy. For me, no one better. She was generational. Since SCTV she has been brilliant. Brilliant, brilliant. Funniest ever. Man. We lost a great. A true great. Sending love to Bo Welch and her family. So sad we lost her incredible presence among us. Will always look up to her. Man”.

“The sublime Catherine O’Hara understood the subtleties of comedy and knew when to hit a moment where a huge laugh was waiting.

And she never missed…”, one last fan stated.
