Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader, has warned fellow NPP members and Ghanaians that the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) is planning to rely heavily on misinformation and disinformation ahead of the 2028 general elections.
According to Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the NDC’s strategy will be used to divert public attention from what he described as the government’s failure to deliver on its promises.
The minority leader urged Ghanaians, particularly NPP members and communicators, to remain vigilant as the country approaches the next elections, alleging that the government would use fabricated stories and distractions to shift the national conversation away from issues affecting citizens.
He further argued that the use of misinformation was not a new political tactic for the NDC, claiming that similar accusations and claims made by the party while in opposition had subsequently been contradicted by facts.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, Afenyo-Markin wrote, “Going into the 2028 elections, one strategy the NDC Government is likely to use aggressively, in its desperation to hold on to power, is misinformation and disinformation.
Expect FAKE NEWS and manufactured distractions aimed at taking attention away from the important national issues on which the Government has failed to deliver.
This is not new; it is a political tool they have mastered.
Go back and examine the accusations, claims and stories they promoted while in opposition. Several have since been contradicted by the FACTS, exposed as misleading or proven entirely false.
Every Ghanaian must understand this strategy. We must stay vigilant, question what we are told and refuse to be distracted from the issues that affect us.
NPP members, officers and communicators especially carry an even greater responsibility. We must remain alert, disciplined and focused.
Check the facts, expose the lies quickly and never allow false propaganda to dictate our agenda.
Keep the focus on the Government’s broken promises and the everyday problems Ghanaians face.
Above all, stay on message by promoting Dr Bawumia’s vision for Ghana with clarity and conviction while working relentlessly towards victory in 2028.
Expose the lies. Focus on the issues. Promote the vision. Win 2028”.
In other news, Sam Pyne, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) First Vice Chairman aspirant, has said the problems Ghanaians criticised the NPP administration for, the NDC government is doing worse.
According to Sam Pyne, concerns over cronyism, alleged corruption, rising prices and other governance challenges raised against the NPP have worsened under the current Mahama administration.
Sam Pyne also compared criticisms of corruption under the previous NPP administration with the current situation.
He argued that the NDC had no basis to claim that the NPP’s record should prevent Ghanaians from considering the party again, noting that economic pressures, including rising prices of goods and services, are also affecting Ghanaians under the current government.
Speaking on Eyewitness News on Friday, September 11, 2026, Sam Pyne stated, “What Ghanaians said that the NPP did, which was wrong, we’re having it worse now”.
“They accused the NPP of cronyism and family and friends, and it was a topical issue. I remember you had a panel here, and for weeks the running story was about President Akufo-Addo having a cabinet of his own people. What do we see now?” he asked.
“Now goods and services are skyrocketing, but they use propaganda to suppress it, and the Ghanaians are feeling the heat,” he said.
Sam Pyne further acknowledged its shortcomings and asked Ghanaians for forgiveness for areas where it fell short.
“After all, forgiveness is divine. We’ve told the world that yes, there are certain things we did not do right, and therefore we plead for forgiveness,” he added.
