Members and supporters of the main opposition New Patriotic Party of Ghana hit the streets of Accra on Tuesday, September 23, 2025 to demonstrate against what the Party termed as “selective justice” and rising harassment against its members.
During the demonstration, the NPP presented petitions to Ghana’s President, John Dramani Mahama and the country’s Inspector General of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohuno.
The NPP’s demonstration dubbed “Yɛn Suro Ahunahuna” drew hundreds of supporters onto the streets of Accra.
According to the leadership of the NPP, the demonstration is a response to what they allege is a pattern of politically motivated arrests and investigations targeting their members, orchestrated under the current administration.
Demonstrators wielded placards and chanted slogans, demanding justice and fairness for NPP members and sympathizers.
The Party says it shall continue to push against what it described as “state-sponsored intimidation,” urging civil society and international partners to take note of the developments.
According to the National Youth Organizer, Salam Mustapha, the current leadership of the Ghana Police Service risked damaging the integrity of the service if the current acts of harassment against NPP sympathizers and supporters continue.
National Organizer of the NPP, Henry Nana Boakye, popularly known as Nana B, accused President Mahama and his administration of undermining Ghana’s democracy through what he called the weaponization of state institutions against political opponents.
Speaking to the media during the demonstration, Nana B says “What we are seeking to achieve is to send a signal to President Mahama, to let him know that he was elected as president of the country to defend democracy. The level at which our democracy is descending is worrying. The fact that there is a change in government does not mean that you weaponise state institutions, orchestrate things against your opponents.”
