The New Patriotic Party (NPP) held a 'Democracy Under Attack' demonstration in Accra on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, under heavy police presence.
NPP Stages Protest Over Claims of Selective Justice and Political Persecution
The NPP demonstration, which was held in Accra, saw party leaders and supporters protesting what they call political interference in the justice system. According to reports, the party is petitioning the Supreme Court and Jubilee House over claims of selective justice and political persecution.
The protest, which was heavily policed, was seen as a call for intensified security operations, sustained police presence, and stronger collaboration between residents and law enforcement. The NPP has been critical of the government's handling of certain cases, accusing them of selective justice and political persecution.
Police Presence Was Heavily Deployed in Accra
The police presence was reportedly well-positioned and arranged in front of Jubilee House, with barricades in place to maintain order. The demonstration was peaceful, with no reports of violence or disruptions.
The NPP's protest was not without controversy, with some critics accusing the party of hypocrisy over their claims of democracy under attack. Rashid Tanko, a spokesperson for JoyNews, commented on the NPP's demonstration on August 6, saying: "The NPP's demonstration has exposed the hypocrisy in their outcry over the loss of eight people in the helicopter crash."
What Happens Next Remains Unclear
The outcome of the NPP's protest and petition to the Supreme Court and Jubilee House remains unclear. The party has called for stronger collaboration between residents and law enforcement, but it is unclear what specific actions they are seeking.
The demonstration highlights the ongoing tensions between the NPP and the government over issues of justice and democracy. As the situation continues to unfold, it will be interesting to see how the parties involved respond to the NPP's claims and demands.
