Prof Bokpin cautions NPP, NDC against undermining democratic institutions
Prof. Godfred Bokpin, an economist and Professor of Finance, cautioned Ghana's two major political parties against allowing partisan political strategies to undermine critical institutions that underpin the country's democracy. He made these comments while speaking on JoyNews' Newsfile on Saturday, following the NPP's "Democracy Under Attack" demonstration in Accra. Prof. Bokpin stated, "I do not think that these two main political parties would fake a position depending on where they find themselves."
Thousands of NPP members and supporters protested in Accra on Thursday, describing threats to Ghana's democracy and the weakening of key state institutions. The demonstration concluded with a petition presented at Jubilee House by a delegation including Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, General Secretary Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, and the Chief of Staff to NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. The NPP had also submitted a separate petition to the Supreme Court.
