Ghana opposition marches in Accra over democracy concerns

Friday, 7 August 2026, 06:34 · 1 min read

Ghana's main opposition party, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), staged protests in Accra this week accusing the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) government of undermining democratic institutions, suppressing free speech and targeting political opponents. Hundreds of NPP supporters, lawmakers and party leaders marched through the capital wearing red and black, delivering petitions to the Supreme Court, Parliament and the Presidency under the banner "Democracy Under Attack." The NPP cited a series of grievances including the removal of former Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, the arrests of opposition members, and the prosecution of social media users, while the NDC government rejected the allegations, insisting it remains committed to the rule of law and that security agencies are acting solely to maintain public order.
