The New Patriotic Party (NPP) described its Democracy Under Attack demonstration as one of the most peaceful political protests in Ghana's history, praising participants for their discipline and commending the security services and media for their roles in the exercise. Speaking on JoyNews' The Pulse on Thursday, August 6, after the demonstration, the party's Deputy General Secretary, Haruna Mohammed, expressed gratitude to party members, civil society organisations, and the leadership of the NPP for what he said was a well-organised and orderly protest. Mr. Mohammed stated, "This is one of the peaceful demonstrations that we have had. From the beginning, we cautioned participants to be very civil because whilst we intend to protect democracy, we must also make sure that there is stability and orderliness in how we conduct ourselves throughout this process."
Mr. Mohammed thanked demonstrators for adhering to the party's directives, saying their conduct contributed to the peaceful nature of the protest. He also commended the media for its coverage of the event, revealing that the party had insisted journalists be allowed to perform their duties without hindrance.
