The prime minister also announced that Ghana and India formed a new friendship group for their lawmakers.

Kwasi Kwarteng works as the legal expert for Kennedy and made this bold claim during a Friday radio show. The lawyer believes Kennedy has strong support ahead of the official January 31, 2026 primary date. Kwarteng told listeners that Kennedy would easily beat other candidates if the party voted today. He feels confident about Kennedy's chances against all rivals.
Kwarteng says the former vice president faces serious problems with his campaign team. The spokesman claims that Akufo-Addo used to be Bawumia's main supporter during past elections. Kwarteng thinks the former president has walked away from his old ally and left him...
Kennedy Agyapong's team claims the former president has ditched his old ally. Kwasi Kwarteng speaks for the Assin Central politician and says Akufo-Addo walked away from Bawumia's campaign. The lawyer believes this move has shaken up the former vice president's supporters. Kwarteng told reporters that Akufo-Adso used to be the main person backing Bawumia during previous elections. He thinks the ship has lost its captain and direction.
Kwarteng points to Bryan Acheampong as proof that Bawumia's team is falling apart. The former agriculture minister wanted to become Bawumia's running mate for the upcoming race. Acheampong was one of the top choices for the vice president position. Kwarteng says even major money backers have stopped...
A top activist thinks Ghana's election bosses made a bad choice about fixing voting problems. Rodaline Imoru Ayarna says the Electoral Commission should redo the whole Ablekuma North race instead of just 19 stations. She fears the current plan will create more trouble rather than solve anything.
Ayarna appeared on TV3's New Day program last Thursday and shared her concerns. She believes the chosen voting spots favor one political party over others. The activist thinks this setup looks unfair and could spark new arguments after the July 11 voting happens.
The public interest champion wants election officials to start over completely across the entire area. She argues this approach would stop people from claiming someone cheated during...
Ghana's opposition party slammed the government's new 24-hour economy plan as fake news designed to fool voters. The Mahama team rolled out their big idea on July 2 and claimed it would create tons of jobs for regular people. Opposition leaders said the timing stinks because the government just raised electricity bills and added new taxes. Alexander Afenyo-Markin told other lawmakers that ordinary citizens will see no real benefits from this scheme. He believes the whole thing is just fancy talk to cover up the country's money problems.
Government advisor Goosie Tanoh fired back at the critics and defended the new policy as smart planning based on real science. He told reporters that his team welcomes all feedback and plans to make...
