Gyampo dismisses NPP's 'Democracy Under Attack' protest as face-saving tactic
Prof. Ransford Gyampo criticised the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) planned "Democracy Under Attack" demonstration, describing it as a face-saving strategy by the party's leadership. In a Facebook post on Wednesday, August 5, he wrote, "Ghana's Democracy is thriving and not under siege. Any attempt at busing people to walk, under the guise of demonstration to trumpet it as being under attack, is a useless face-saving tactic by leaders who currently face a legitimacy deficit in their party."
The NPP is set to stage the protest on Thursday, August 6, citing concerns including the acquittal of former Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC) CEO, Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu, and the arbitrary arrest and treatment of some of its members. Prof. Gyampo rejected these claims, arguing that Ghana's democracy remains strong. The NPP maintains the demonstration is intended to defend democratic freedoms, uphold the rule of law, and demand accountability in governance.
