“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.

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.

“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.”

“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”.

Those who are “Kenneth-ed” in the house should start jubilating, I am telling you by the grace of God, because nothing will change, the flagbearer of the NPP is Kennedy Agyapong”.

According to KOKA, they will go to ElBernard’s church for him to call his God for all Ghanaians to see.

He further declared Prophet Elbernard to be fake.

Speaking in a viral video shared on X, KOKA stated, “Tomorrow everyone is wearing white, we are going to Prophet ElBernard church but we will go with out own offering bowl, we will ask him to call his God for all of us to see. He is fake. Tomorrow we would go to Prophet ElBernard’s church, and he would call his God for all Ghanaians to see”.

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

0

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.

“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.”

Ghanaian man dies 10 minutes after arrival at Toronto Airport in search of greener pastures

Albert Kesse, a Ghanaian man, has been confirmed dead after travelling to Canada for the first time in search of greener pastures.

Reports suggest Albert Kesse collapsed at the Toronto Pearson International Airport just 10 minutes after arrival.

In a post shared by ASKghmedia on X, read, “A Ghanaian man, Albert Kesse, has been confirmed déad after travelling to Canada for the first time in search of greener pastures, only to collapse at Toronto Pearson International Airport just 10 minutes after arrival while going through the immigration process.

The confirmation came after Albert’s wife and family appeared on Auntie Naa’s Oyerepa Afutuo show to report that the agent who had processed his Canadian travel documents earlier this month told them he had passed away in Canada, but failed to provide any details about the circumstances of his déath or the location of his bódy.

This prompted Oyerepa FM and TV to contact Canadian authorities and Ethiopian Airlines, who confirmed that shortly after Albert’s arrival at the airport, he collapsed and was rushed to Etobicoke General Hospital, but unfortunately, he could not be saved. Albert Kesse leaves behind a wife and five children”.

The post also added a video of  Oyerepa FM and TV, which went to identify Albert Kesse at a funeral home in Canada.

“A video from representatives of Oyerepa FM and TV, who went to identify him at a funeral home in Canada. Mr. Kesse had only gone to Canada in search of greener pastures to take care of his family, but fate had other plans. The eldest of the five children he left behind is only 11 years old”, the post added.

Some Ghanaians reacting to the news stated, “The guy died at the Canadian airport with no conclusion on the cause of death, but people are saying a Ghanaian killed him. Negative and mentally disturbed people”.

“Is either he swallow white powder? If not, you can’t convince me otherwise!”, one netizen added.

Another netizen added, “Don’t get me wrong, but what does an elderly man with 5 children going to seek in Canada? This is not right”.

Additionally, a netizen added, “See his age over 40 years still travelling abroad to go look for work and better life when the opportunity and chance are less, maybe Canada cold freeze his heart at the airport when he arrived, this to tell Ghana government need to provide more work for the citizens”.

“Nana Addo is a liability to the NPP” – Arthur Kennedy

0

Dr Arthur Kennedy, a veteran politician and founding member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has said former president Nana Addo is a liability to the party.

According to Dr Arthur Kennedy, the earlier he takes a back seat, the better for the NPP.

He highlighted that Nana Addo caused the division in the New Patriotic Party when he forced Dr Mahamudu Bawumia on the party as the 2024 presidential flagbearer.

Dr Arthur Kennedy stressed that Nana Addo is the leader who has divided the party more than any leader in recent years.

Speaking on TV3’s Agenda programme, Arthur Kennedy stated, “His conduct is inconsistent with the points he made, he was the person who divided the party and tied it hand behind it back and force Dr Bawumia on the party at that time he could have preached unity but he did not he was the person who refused to sack Ken Ofori-Atta who is now an albatross around the neck of the party.

He was the one who told voters in the Ashanti Region that their thumb is their own and they could do whatever they want with it. Nana Addo is a liability to the party; the earlier he takes a back seat, the better for the NPP. As long as we don’t know that we will suffer.

Nana Addo is a liability, is a very big liabilty the earlier he takes a back seat, the better for the NPP and not only that his words are inconsistent with his actions. He has divided the party more than any other leader in our recent history, so he cannot preach unity and be taken seriously.

His comments follow Akufo-Addo warning all the aspirants that the NPP is bigger than any individual during the party’s peace pact.

“The ideology of the NPP remains attractive to Ghanaians. The NPP is bigger than any individual…unity is not an option, a strategic necessity to victory,” he said.

Some Ghanaian reacting to Dr Arthur Kennedy’s remarks stated, “Everything this man says is a broken record, can you fetch him a glass of water and find a seat for him at the back?? Others, too, want the microphone…”.

“Thank you, sir. Call a spade a spade, not a big spoon. He forced Bawumia on the people so that he and his family can keep ruling Ghana from the shadows. I’m glad Ghanaians saw this voted against Bawumia”, another Ghanaian added.

One more X user added, “He spoke the hard truth, but some people will see it otherwise… He is a complete electoral liability to his party”.

Meanwhile, Dr Arthur Kennedy had earlier called on the NPP to sanction former  President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

Arthur Kennedy noted that if the NPP are in the mood to discipline, then Akufo-Addo should be sanctioned for the government he led.

Dr Kennedy criticised disciplinary decisions within the party, describing them as selective and lacking due process.

He recounted earlier actions against former party executives Paul Afoko and Kwabena Agyapong adding that they were unjustified and politically motivated.

Dr Kennedy asserted that the fallout from those decisions continues to undermine the party’s cohesion and credibility.

He highlighted that for discipline to be meaningful, it must be applied fairly and without bias across all levels of leadership arguing that the NPP cannot credibly enforce discipline among its members while ignoring the Akufo-Addo administration poor governance.

Speaking on Channel One TV’s Big Issue, Arthur Kennedy stated, “Those filings were not done with due process; they were cooked and manufactured. Afoko and Kwabena Agyapong had done nothing wrong. Their expulsions were vindictive and non-principled, and that is the price we are still paying.

“If we are going to discipline people, then we should discipline people left, right and centre. I want to suggest that if we are in the mood to discipline, then by now we should be calling Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to the carpet for the government he led, no cabinet reshuffle, corruption and arrogance everywhere,” he said.

“We have approved four forms of identification; any one of them will be a permissible voter’s ID, party ID, national passport, or Ghana card. Any delegate without an ID cannot cast a ballot,” he explained.

“I urge every delegate to go and look for their ID card before they come to vote. When you enter the inner circle, you are not supposed to go in with any foreign material, including mobile phones,” he said.

211,849 registered NPP delegates across 16 regions of the country are voting 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.

He added, “We assure you that at least 70 is the least number of police that will be at each polling station. We have deployed heavily. All senior officers countrywide are going to be at the police station”.

“We have the inner deployment, the middle deployment, and then the outer deployment. The outer deployment is heavily loaded,” he explained.

“I want to assure you that we have done a lot of training and preparation and that my regional commanders have called me and said that they are even ready for the election today,” Mr Yohuno added.

Stan Dogbe apologises for pushing a Soldier during the Military Academy graduation

0

Stan Dogbe, the Deputy Chief of Staff in charge of Operations, has issued an unqualified apology to a military officer after he publicly pushed him away during the Ghana Military Academy graduation on January 30, 2026.

According to Stan Dogbe, the action occurred after the soldier repeatedly disrupted the work of a live camera operator during the ceremony.

In a Facebook post issued after the incident, Stan Dogbe wrote, “This is to apologise to my friend, Cpl Ofosu, for physically pushing him away after his repeated disruption of a live camera operator during today’s ceremony.”

The Deputy Chief of Staff further asserted that there is a need to improve coordination at public events.

“I know he and my other friends in uniform will accept my apology as we work to enhance and improve our existing collaboration at events,” Mr. Dogbe added.

His apology comes following Stan Dogbe being caught in a viral video shoving a uniformed Soldier during the Ghana Military Academy Graduation.

In the viral video shared on social media, President John Mahama was spotted dressed in his Air Force uniform, exchanging handshakes with some people at the graduation. He was followed by the acting Defence Minister, Ato Forson and the Interior Minister Munaka Mubarak.

In the background,  Stan Dogbe was captured, giving a soldier carrying out media duties a ‘Big Push’ as President Mahama exchanged handshakes with some guests.

Some Ghanaians reacting to the viral video stated, “Doesn’t add up.

Why do they have civilians freely filming whilst uniformed military personnel are shoved in that manner?”.

Another netizen added, “Stan Dogbe is in the news again — what possible justification exists for assaulting a uniformed military officer?”.

“Addo Dee ankasa wabrɛ oo, like by now Cpt Smart and Johnnie are preparing insults to be delivered”, another Ghanaian added.

“Stan Dogbe is a GREAT mind, I believe his temperament will be his great undoing.

Maybe the soldier shouldn’t have walked there or something buh he could have responded and or acted in a dignified way”, one X user added.

A netizen stated, “This is one of the reasons why I wouldn’t want to join any of the services here in Ghana. Ghanaian politicians often act as if they’re more superior to service personnel. Why the unnecessary pushing when you could simply speak it out?”.

One more X user added, “Oh!! @StanDogbe WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? Yes.. You’re expected to do your job of “helping to keep the President safe”.. but didn’t you know that was a UNIFORMED PERSONNEL who’s sworn an oath to defend Ghana and its constitution? cc: @GhanaPresidency, @JDebrahofficial@JDMahama”.

Meanwhile, President John Dramani Mahama, at the Ghana Military Academy Graduation on Friday, January 30, 2026, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to maintaining a strong and resilient Ghana Armed Forces.

He stated, “Ghana and the wider sub-region continue to face serious threats, particularly along the country’s northern borders. The security situation in our sub-region remains complex and volatile. Violent extremism, terrorism, and trans-border crime continue to pose serious threats, particularly along our northern border. Globally, the rise of non-state actors and asymmetric warfare has reshaped the security challenges”.

“These realities demand a well-coordinated response. Security cannot be seen as the sole responsibility of the armed forces and other security agencies. It is a shared national duty”.

“We must work together to ensure that we protect the peace that we so cherish”,President Mahama concluded.

“Opt out, we don’t want a braggart who lies about people to be our president” – Ken Agyapong told

0

Dr Tony Aidoo, a former Ghana Ambassador to the Netherlands, has told Ken Agyapong, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential flagbearer hopeful, to opt out of the race.

According to Dr Tony Aidoo, Ken Agyapong does not fit the office of the President, arguing that Ken does not meet the standard required for the presidency.

Dr Tony Aidoo made this known when he was asked to assess the five NPP aspirants ahead of Saturday’s January 31 primaries.

Speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show on Friday, January 30,  Dr Tony Aidoo stated, “So far among the candidates, personally, I think Kennedy Agyapong should opt out,” he stated.

“We don’t want a braggart who lies about people to be our president,” he said on the programme. He is not presidential material”, he added.

However, Charles Bissue, the National Administrator of the Ken Agyapong campaign, has quizzed his critics on what they refer to as “presidential material”.

Mr Bissue quizzed whether they are referring to GTP or Printex when they talk of presidential material.

According to Mr Bissue, Ken Agyapong’s political appeal is rooted in his ability to connect with ordinary party supporters.

He described him as a natural crowd puller, arguing that Ken’s popularity and grassroots strength, rather than elite branding, should define a presidential contender.

Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, Charles Bissue dismissed claims the former Assin Central MP is not “presidential material he asked, “I beg them, is it GTP or Printex when they talk of presidential material? What exactly do they mean by material?”

“Kennedy Agyapong is like a magnet, and over the years, he has proven it,” he said.

He further added, “If we want, we can assemble all the aspirants. Each of them will be assigned a day to address delegates, and we will see the number of crowds each will pull”.

“Kennedy Agyapong’s numbers will be phenomenal,” Bissue added.

“When people say presidential material, they should explain whether they are talking about branding or leadership. For us, Kennedy has shown over the years that people believe in him,” he added.

Meanwhile, Ken Agyapong has appealed to party delegates to allow him to serve them as their presidential candidate for the 2028 general election.

According to Ken Agyapong, he stands for industrialisation, employment and jobs.

He argued that Ghanaian youths need employment, which will be his main goal when given the opportunity.

Speaking in a televised address to national delegates on Thursday, January 29, 2026, Ken Agyapong stated, “I do not believe in revenge politics, and I will not tolerate any attempt to shrink the party by threatening its grassroots. Be assured of this”.

“The NPP was built on courage and internal democracy. So, I say to you, stand firm,” he stated.

“I stand for industrialisation, and that’s all my message. I am also for employment and jobs. What we need in this country is employment for the youth. So please give me the opportunity to serve you, and I will not disappoint you,” he said.

“You alone, one man no chop” – Fifi Kwetey on NDC barring gov’t appointees from contesting party positions

0

Fifi Kwetey, the NDC General Secretary, has explained the reasoning behind the party barring government appointees from holding party office.

Speaking at a press conference in Accra on Thursday, January 29, 2026, the General Secretary of the party explained that the decision is to try to reduce greed.

According to Fifi Kwetey, the NDC has millions of capable members who can serve in different portfolios agruing that there is no need for government appointees still holding positions at the party office.

Fifi Kwetey detailed, saying, “The NDC has so many people; our numbers are massive, millions of supporters, and we have so many people capable of holding positions. It cannot be a situation where only one or two are capable of holding both an appointed osition in government and position in the party, it just cannot be.

God forbid if any of us drop dead today the NDC has got so many people, who can hold our position, and do an excellent job if not even a better job. So we must have the same principle”.

He added, “It is an issue of reducing the level of greed. You alone, one man no chop; what’s your problem? If you want to work for the party, leave your position in government, come and contest and win, then we know you are fully dedicated.

This situation, where you are trying to be one leg here, one here there… even the constitutional review, it is bringing a provision that, if you are a member of parliament, it is no longer going to be permitted once it is approved for you to be in parliament and government at the same time, it is the same kind of principle.

His explanation follows the NDC barring all serving government appointees from contesting executive positions within the party.

Fifi Fiavi Kwetey explained that government appointees who wish to contest must resign from their appointments.

According to Fifi Kwetey, the decision forms part of measures ahead of the party’s reorganisation, which begins on January 30.

He added that a government appointee who intends to contest must resign at least six months before filing nomination forms.

Speaking at a press conference in Accra on Thursday, January 29, 2026, the General Secretary of the party, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey stated, “Any person contesting any position in the party who is holding an office to which he or she was appointed by the president, or the government shall resign at least six (6) clear months from the said office or appointment prior to the filing of the nomination forms for the party position he or she desires to contest,” he stated.

“Persons who are affected by the restrictions specified in paragraph (1) of this section shall include the following:

(a) Ministers and Deputy Ministers;

(b) Chief Executive Officers or Managing Directors and Deputy Chief Executive Officers or Deputy Managing Directors, or analogous officers;

(c) Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Administrative Units of the Government of Ghana,” he said.

He, however, clarified that board members are exempt from the directive.

“A person appointed as a chairperson or member of any Board, or any analogous position shall be exempt from the restrictions imposed by paragraph (1) of this section,” he added.

He added, “The NDC is a big party, and it cannot continue to have people holding positions in both the government and the party because it has enough qualified people”.

“If you are a macho man, go to the gym” – Police issues warning ahead of NPP primaries

0

The Ghana Police Service has issued a stern warning to “macho men” ahead of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primary tomorrow, January 31, 2026.

According to the Police, Macho Man must go to the gym and lift weights as the elections is not between them.

Speaking on security arrangements ahead of the polls on Friday, January 30, 2026, the Eastern Regional Police stated, “They have huge shoulders, so they call themselves macho men. The election is not between macho people; it’s between five contestants. Whether one of them is macho or not, I can’t speak to that.

“So, our duty is simple, we go and make sure that people who are coming to vote are protected, media is protected, police are protected, electoral officers are protected, electoral material is protected, everybody comes around and go home freely,” he said.

“If you want to stay and observe, you can stand at a distance. If you are a macho man, go to the gym and go and lift weights. The election is not for macho people… Tomorrow is not a day for macho men so if you come and you misbehave; you’ll be arrested and now the IGP has reiterated that when one of you is arrested, don’t call him,” they warned.

“…Those who are going for the polls, they are not fighting. The one who is down there, you want to go and kill for, they don’t know you so when you are incarcerated, they will not come. In fact, they don’t know you exist. So avoid engaging in any criminalities,” the police added.

Meanwhile, Christian Tetteh Yohuno, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), has declared that the Ghana Police Service is fully prepared to provide security ahead of the NPP primaries.

According to the IGP, the NPP had formally written to the police informing them that security for the elections would be handled by the Ghana Police Service alone.

“If Ibrahim Mahama is not jailed, I will drink poison and die” – Ken Agyapong claims in an old video

0

A throwback video of Ken Agyapong has surfaced on social media, with the NPP presidential aspirant declaring he will drink poison and die if Ibrahim Mahama is not jailed.

In the throwback video, Ken Agyapong and now Health Minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh appear in a panel discussion on Adom TV.

Kwabena Mintah Akandoh accused Ken Agyapong of disintegrating peoples intergrity.

Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, in the video, stated, “The highest person on the land, why is he doing this to peoples intergrity, why is he not being fair to people, you gather photocopies and come and sit here and try to degrade people. If you think you have enough evidence, Omanhene cannot help you stop doing what you are doing; you are a big person in your party, so help yourself. If in the past you did dirty work for your party to come to power, clean yourself now.

Ken Agyapong, in a sharp rebuttal on the show, stated, “What he has said today, I swear to God, if Ibrahim Mahama is not jailed, I will drink poison and die because of what you told me. I challenge you, he will never get away with murder. I have the documents.

So if he says, I have come to lie, and I am digressing, I will put my life on the line and see who will go to jail”.

Back in 2017, then Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong, had, for several weeks, alleged that Mr Mahama issued dud cheques to the Customs Division of the GRA.

He further led a media crusade, agitating that EOCO should investigate Mr Ibrahim.

Ibrahim Mahama was later ordered to pay approximately GH¢13 million in import duties and interest after issuing dud cheques.

According to reports, payments were made in May 2017, though the amount is often rounded to GH¢14 million.

In Ghanaian laws, it is an offence to issue a cheque, knowing very well that you do not have sufficient funds in your account.

Appearing in an exclusive interview on TV3 New Day, Kennedy Agyapong was asked why he had not jailed Ibrahim Mahama as he had promised to do.

According to Ken Agyapong, Mahama and his brother went behind the big Chiefs to beg him not to jail his brother.

He recounted that Ibrahim Mahama was not paying import duties on machines he was clearing from the port because his brother was president at the time.

Speaking on TV3 New Day, he explained, “He is a friend, but I always speak the truth; the level of dishonesty in our culture is why we have to change some of our culture.

I took Ibrahim to court, and he paid GHS14 million. Do you remember? You know he was not paying duties on machines that were being cleared from the port, even on Sundays, because his brother was the president.

I challenged him and gave evidence, and Ibrahim Mahama went to court to pay 14 million. So, what have I done to the nation, and he went out there begging, so I am surprised that President Mahama is saying that I have not been able to jail his brother when they went behind big chiefs to come and beg for him”.

An alleged consignment of 942 ballot papers, which has allegedly been thumbprinted for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has emerged a day before the NPP’s primaries.

The viral alleged ballot papers showed the number three slot thumbprinted already.

The information shared by Prime Rakon showed a purported NPP ballot paper of the five presidential aspirants on it.

Prime Rakon, in their post, reported that the Ashanti Regional Police Command has initiated an inquiry in response to the discovery of a consignment of 942 ballot papers.

The post read, “The Ashanti Regional Police Command has initiated an inquiry in response to the discovery of a consignment of 942 ballot papers, which are suspected to be connected to Bawumia in the New Patriotic Party’s ongoing internal elections”.

Meanwhile, some netizens have reacted to the images saying, “Naa this has got to be fake”.

Another X user added, “You see what has started happening already, when Kennedy Speaks they will say he is the bad one… Dogs don’t bark for no reason”.

“Npp and election rigging.  They’ve never won any fair elections in the country da”, another netizen added.

One X user detailed, “Is that how to print ballot papers? Where are the serial numbers? Zero arrests.

Black and white. Only the NDC will believe these are useless and aimless claims from the NDC cohorts”.

“Wontumi has started his tactics. NDC dealt well with his rigging agenda in the Ashanti Region in 2024. Dem have mafia Kennedy finish be”, another Ghanaian stated.

Meanwhile, Joseph Osei-Owusu, the Chairperson of the NPP Presidential Elections Committee, has warned presidential aspirants that private security and macho men will not be entertained during the party’s primaries.

According to Joseph Osei-Owusu, any NPP presidential aspirant thinking of bringing macho men should think twice.

He revealed that the Ghana Police Service would deploy between 70 and 150 officers at each polling centre, adding that there would be military support in selected areas, mainly parts of the Upper East Region.

Joe Wise warned, “Anybody thinking of bringing private security or ‘macho’ men should think twice. The police will deal with it very, very severely”.

“We felt that this is not an election in which we should allow anybody the basis to claim that the process was tainted. Everybody will be satisfied that he won because he was voted for, or he lost because he was voted against,” he said.

Joseph Osei-Owusu further assured the public of a credible, transparent, and well-secured process.

He added, “Everything that has to be done is done. The Commission is ready, the police are ready, and everything they need to be able to do their work has been provided”.

“At every stage, we involved the contestants themselves. We showed them the list, we listened to concerns, and we resolved them together,” he said.

“If you go to our IT centre now, you will find representatives of the contestants verifying everything and endorsing it before final printing,” he added.

A total of 211,849 delegates are expected to vote at 333 polling centres across the country’s 276 constituencies.

Watch Ken Agyapong’s welfare policy form, filled by delegates, allegedly thrown away

0

A netizen has shared a video of NPP presidential aspirant Ken Agyapong’s welfare policy form, filled by delegates, allegedly thrown away.

 In the viral video, a narrator in the video was heard saying, “The forms Kennedy asked people to fill out look at them, I lived in Bantama. The forms have been thrown away. Anyone who filled the form should go and check from his constuency if the form is still there”.  

The forms are not taken anywhere; after they are filled, they are abandoned them here”.

However, the spokesperson for New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential hopeful Ken Agyapong, Kwasi Kwarteng, has accused Dennis Miracles Aboagye, a spokesperson for the Bawumia campaign of spreading the alleged video.

According to Kwasi Kwarteng, no one is throwing away forms, arguing that the narrative is fake.

In a social media post, Kwasi Kwarteng wrote, “Dennis Miracles Aboagye, this post reeks of panic.

You’re panicking because delegates are happy that, for once, someone is seriously gathering data to build a credible welfare system that will actually take care of party people and delegates. So instead of engaging dispassionately, you’ve resorted to lies and propaganda.

No one is “throwing away forms.” That narrative is fake, and you know it. You and your team have photocopied fake forms and dumped them deliberately, just to create a false impression and water down its effect. The real problem is that Kennedy’s approach exposes how empty your side’s promises have always been.

Your boss had eight years in power, eight years as Vice President, the second most powerful person in the country, and did nothing credible for the party grassroots. Nothing. Yet after losing power, you suddenly want delegates to believe fairy tales about appointments and welfare.

Delegates are not commodities. They are rational beings. Many who joined the party way earlier may be more politically experienced than your candidate, and they can tell sincerity from desperation.

Kennedy Agyapong has a record: when he promises, he delivers. That’s why you’re uncomfortable and panicking.

Liars!”, the post ended.

Primary school teacher in ‘hot water’ after flogging pupil to pulp in Damongo

0

Mr Fatawu, Primary teacher, Falahiyat E/A Primary School Block “A”, is in hot water after allegedly flogging a pupil to pulp.

Reports suggest that the primary teacher flogged the Basic 5 pupil to pulp, leading to him receiving treatment at Damongo St. Anne’s Catholic Hospital in the Savannah Region.

Abdul Wahidu Mahama, the father of the Basic 5 pupil, revealed that the incident occurred on Tuesday, January 20.

According to reports, the teacher assigned a homework which the pupil scored 2 out of 8.

The teacher then asked the boy and his classmate to lie on dual desk tables in the classroom.

Mr Fatawu is alleged to have used a wire cane to flog the students on their backs and other parts of their bodies.

Abdul Wahidu Mahama, the boy’s father, stated, “My son tried to block the cane with his hand, but the teacher flogged him heavily and verbally insulted the children for their low performance”.

He revealed that Abdul Wahidu (the pupil) complained of severe pain in his hand and was taken to the Damongo St. Anne’s Catholic Hospital after an unsuccessful attempt to treat him at home.

The father added that his son was admitted and prescribed medication, followed by surgery, which was carried out on Tuesday, January 27, adding that the teacher has not visited the child in the hospital since the incident.

The headmistress and another school staff member are said to have visited the hospital to check on the student’s condition.

Meanwhile, the father is seeking justice, appealing to the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Ghana Police Service.

He added, “This is about protecting our innocent future assets”.

In other news, a victim in the trial of Godwin Adigbli, a 45-year-old French teacher at the Labone Senior High School, who is facing charges of indecent assault, has narrated her account of the alleged sexual harassment she experienced.

The 16-year-old female student, in her witness testimony, testified in court that a French teacher, identified as Adigbli, allegedly forcibly held her, kissed her roughly, and dragged her into a room containing a mattress.

According to the victim, the French teacher had been flirtatious and had earlier made suggestive comments towards her, adding that she did not expect any harm, but upon entering, Adigbli allegedly held her by the waist and began kissing her.

In the 16-year-old female student’s witness testimony admitted into evidence by the Domestic Violence and Victim Support District Court, read, “The accused person stopped saying such words and thought it was over. I eventually got to his office, he unlocked the door, and told me to bring his bag inside. I did not expect him to do anything bad to me when I entered the office.

“He forcibly held my waist and began kissing me roughly in his office, so I hit him across his face and other parts of his body to make him let me go, but all efforts proved futile because he was stronger than me,” portions of her statement read.

She added, “He then dragged me into a room in the French lab where there was a student mattress and a fridge with a sink”.

“The accused said he wanted to suck my breast; he then forcibly put his finger into my vagina. It was a very devastating experience. The accused pushed me onto the mattress in the storeroom, unbuckled his belt, brought out his penis, and tried to put it into my mouth,” she stated in her witness testimony.

The 16-year-old female student added, “I then bit his penis hard; he was in serious pain, and that was when I got the opportunity to run out. I went to my classroom in pain and was scared to report the issue because I was writing my final year exams. I was also afraid I would meet him at the exam hall, and that would torment me.

“I later went to the dormitory to use the washroom and found blood stains in my underwear. I also felt a sharp pain in my abdomen that hurt badly. I went to the teacher’s Staff Common Room, informed a teacher called Mr Evans, and also called my uncle,” she recounted.

“I won’t say NPP is doomed, but the leadership leading the party into destruction” – Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe

0

Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, a founding member and Elder of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has said the current leadership of the party is leading the party into destruction.

According to Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe, the NPP’s failure to rebuild from the grassroots following the miserable 2024 electoral defeat undermines its core values.

Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe explained that any political party that suffers a major electoral defeat like the NPP did ought to return to the grassroots to assess what went wrong.

He stressed that the NPP should have rebuilt its structures from the bottom up, adding that it is the only path to sustainable success.

Speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show on Friday, January 30, Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe explained, “If we truly want to win back the soul of the party, then we must do things democratically”.

“The proper way is to organise from the grassroots to the top. That has always been the tradition of the party, but unfortunately, it did not happen.”

“A party that has been badly damaged in a general election cannot proceed the way the NPP is going now. You must go back to the grassroots, listen to them, let them tell you exactly how they feel, and allow even the broader population to understand why you failed,” he stated.

“I won’t say the party is doomed, but the leadership at the moment is leading the party into destruction,” he said.

He further cried out that the rise of “monocracy” within the party, arguing that there is no internal democracy and fair play within the party.

Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe noted that there is manipulation and imposition of candidates, arguing that such practices weaken political parties and erode public trust.

Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe added, “There are no internal democracy and no fair play. This is very dangerous,”

“There are clearly factions in the party, and whoever wins will struggle to bring the party together. We have seen this before, and it completely destroyed the party in the past,” he noted.

“If they do not know the history of the party, they should study it,” he cautioned. “We have been here before. We must be careful.”

Earlier,  Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe had said the party is now in the hands of looters.

According to Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe, if the NPP dares expel Prof Frimpong Boateng, they should sack him too.

Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe is quoted by TV3 to have said, “The party is now in the hands of looters, if they sack Prof Frimpong Boateng, then they should sack me as well”.

Also, Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe backed Prof Frimpong-Boateng, who described the party as fake and challenged the NPP leadership over plans to expel him.

Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe boldly asserted that Prof Frimpong-Boateng’s comments reflect the party’s current state and warned that the party is drifting from its founding ideals.

According to Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe, he fully agreed with the views expressed by Prof Frimpong-Boateng.

In a 3news.com report on January 13, 2026, Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe is quoted as saying, I listened to Prof Frimpong-Boateng’s interview, and I must say without fear that I agree with him entirely. All the points that he raised are issues that are really worrying the party”.

“What I will say at this stage is that if they sack Frimpong-Boateng, then they should sack me. They should sack Kwame Pianim, they should sack Dr Arthur Kennedy and quite a number of us,” Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe stated.
