Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP Flagbearer for 2028, has sent a strong message to the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), declaring that the opposition will not be cowed by alleged intimidation.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, Dr Bawumia condemned what he described as an “endless assault” on NPP members through arrests and detentions.
He made specific reference to the arrest of party organiser David Essandoh over a social media post about power outages and the detention of Bono Regional Chairman Kwame Baffoe alias Abronye.
Dr Bawumia urged supporters and patriots across the country “to stay firm by refusing to succumb to intimidation while continuing your civic duty to hold the Government accountable to its promises.”
“We fought hard for this democracy and as a party, we cannot surrender it to intimidation from those who possess temporary power today,” he stressed.
The NPP flagbearer reiterated that his party remains committed to defending Ghana’s democracy despite the alleged harassment.
