IN WHAT many see as a desperate attempt to regain public sympathy, the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced plans to stage a demonstration on Tuesday, September 23, 2025.
The protest, according to the party, is to resist what it describes as “state-sponsored harassment” by the Ghana Police Service.
However, the planned protest has been met with public skepticism, with many questioning the NPP’s moral authority to cry foul after eight years of inflicting untold hardship on Ghanaians while in power.
From collapsed businesses to economic mismanagement, unemployment, and systemic corruption, the scars of their governance remain fresh in the minds of many citizens.
The protest announcement comes in the wake of the arrest and remand of the NPP’s Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe (aka Abronye DC), by an Accra Circuit Court for “offensive conduct conducive to the breach of public peace.” He remains in custody as investigations continue.
In addition, Ashanti Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako (aka Chairman Wontumi) is currently under criminal investigation for alleged fraud, money laundering, and causing financial loss to the state—adding to a growing list of legal troubles facing prominent NPP figures.
Observers say the planned demonstration is nothing more than a calculated attempt to divert public attention from the party’s legal woes and wash its tainted image in the eyes of Ghanaians.
After years of presiding over national decline, the NPP now seeks to posture as a victim of the very systems it once weaponized against critics.
The public is watching closely, and many are not buying it.
