Richard Ahiagbah, the Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has cried out that Ghana’s democracy is seriously threatened by NDC’s manipulation.
The NPP Director of Communications lamented that Ghana’s democracy is seriously threatened by the NDC’s manipulation of institutions just to gain more members of parliament.
In a social media post on X, Richard Ahiagbah wrote, “Ghana’s democracy is seriously threatened by the NDC’s manipulation of institutions for its vain pursuit of more MPs.
I don’t blame the EC; they might simply be trying to protect their jobs. We saw this happen with the decision to hold a limited re-run in Ablekumah North. I hope it works out for you. For the NPP, we will continue to explore all available legal options.
The truth is, if the voice of the people in Kpandai can be overturned this easily, then no mandate is truly secure…”
Some netizens reacting to the NPP’s director of communications’ remarks stated, “SALL happened, you were quiet, Assin North happened, you said nothing. You removed the EC chair, and you said nothing, so what are you saying something now? Keep that same energy player. …!!!”.
“But who says the good people of Kpandai will vote against the NPP? Stop the lamentations and go down there and campaign to retain your seat”, another netizen added.
One more X user added, “Efo, let me ask you one question: do you have any formal education? When ur own people from SALL—Santrokofi, Akpafu, Lolobi—were denied parliamentary representation for four years, what was your stance? You make us think that some of you have never set foot in a classroom”.
Additionally, one more netizen added, “The seat is not going to be handed to the NDC just like that. People in Kpandai are going to vote, and their choice is going to be respected. If u believe u won it fairly, just go to the kpandai n win it again. U remember Gyakye Quayeson? He went and won the seat again”.
Also, Justin Kodua Frimpong, the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has said Judges in Ghana now live in fear, delivering justice.
The NPP’s General Secretary alleged that the judiciary, which is supposed to be the last vanguard, has been captured by the NDC government.
According to Justin Kodua, Judges in Ghana now fear delivering justice over fears of facing similar consequences as Justice Torkonoo.
Speaking on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, during the unveiling of the NPP’s amended constitution, Kodua stated, “We have witnessed escalating abuse of incumbency and state-sponsored intimidation of political opponents in the media”.
“We have seen the disturbing pattern of filing nolle prosequi to free their members who are standing trial for allegedly embezzling huge sums of money from the state. We have seen attempts to capture our institutions, including the judiciary, and efforts to take parliamentary seats we have won.”
Justin Kodua also accused the government of compromising the judiciary.
He referenced what he described as the controversial removal of former Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo.
“Unfortunately, the judiciary, which is supposed to be the last vanguard of the rule of law, has sadly been captured by the executive”.
“Today, in Ghana, judges fear delivering justice according to the law because they fear they will also suffer the same consequences as Justice Torkonoo did”, he claimed.
