The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has filed a petition with the Supreme Court and the presidency, alleging that the Mahama administration is undermining Ghana's democracy through arbitrary arrests, intimidation of political opponents, and selective justice. After marching to the Supreme Court to present their concerns, the NPP delivered a second petition at the Jubilee House, where Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin received it on behalf of the party.
Afenyo-Markin criticized the government for targeting political opponents, abandoning campaign promises, and allegedly directing judicial processes during the courts' vacation period. He also questioned the imprisonment of NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako and accused the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) of imposing excessive bail conditions on opposition figures.
The party leader urged the government to remember that no political party can remain in power indefinitely and warned against using state institutions to target political opponents.
