NPP to stage 'Democracy Under Attack' protest on August 6
New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced a nationwide demonstration dubbed "Democracy Under Attack", scheduled for Thursday, August 6, 2026, as it raises concerns over what it describes as growing threats to Ghana's democratic governance. The protest will commence at 6:00 a.m. from the Supreme Court and end at Jubilee House. Organisers are mobilising supporters under the hashtags #DemocracyUnderAttack, #SaveGhanaNow, and #SayNoToStateCapture.
NPP communications team member and spokesperson for former Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, noted that the protest is in response to what he claims are increasing attempts by the government to silence dissent and weaken democratic institutions. Mr Aboagye alleged that the "rampant arrests of opposition voices," the arrest of individuals over alleged insults, the detention of TikTok users and media practitioners, the "weaponisation of bail conditions," and what he described as a "romance between the Executive and the Judiciary" constitute "a present and real danger to the democracy our forefathers laid their lives for." He urged authorities to end what he described as selective justice.
