Mahama govt wants critics terrified and tired, but we'll not; we'll pursue accountability - Afenyo
Critics are arrested and jailed for saying things the NDC government doesn't like. Under Akufo-Addo, we heard worse things against Akufo-Addo, but we endured.
Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has criticized the Mahama government for arresting critics of the administration. He pointed out that members of the NDC were allowed to make harsh criticisms of the Akufo-Addo government in the past, but were not similarly punished. Afenyo-Markin stated that his party will not be intimidated and will pursue accountability through democratic means.
He urged the NPP and the Minority to be bold in criticizing the Mahama government and holding it accountable, without fear of arrest or intimidation. Afenyo-Markin also called on NPP members to unite and support the party's flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, ahead of the 2028 elections. Former Presidents John Agyekum Kufuor and Akufo-Addo also expressed their support for the NPP, calling for it to guide Ghana to prosperity and transformation.
The NPP is currently holding its National Delegates Congress and national officers elections in Kumasi, where delegates will vote to determine the party's next leaders.
