NPP stages ‘Y3gye y3 sika’ demo over Ablakwa, evacuation and passport controversies today

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is organizing a nationwide protest on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, demanding the removal of Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa and investigations into several controversies. The demonstration, named "Y3gye y3 sika," will commence at 6:00 a.m. near the Tetteh Quarshie Interchange in Accra and proceed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then to Jubilee House.

NPP National Youth Organizer Abanga Fuseini Yakubu has called on party members and citizens to join the movement, emphasizing the need for accountability in managing public funds and official documents. The party accuses Ablakwa of misconduct related to the evacuation exercise and the issuance of diplomatic and service passports.

They seek his immediate dismissal and investigations by the Attorney-General and the Special Prosecutor. The opposition party also demands the publication of invoices, contracts, and payment records for the evacuation flights, as well as the full passenger manifest and beneficiary list to verify the reported evacuation of 1,964 Ghanaians.

Additionally, they want an independent audit of the total expenditure on the exercise and the cancellation of any improperly issued diplomatic and service passports.
