The Ghana Journalists Association wants police to arrest NPP leader Alhaji Osman Masawudu immediately. He scared reporters with threats on Ash FM radio in Kumasi. The NPP third national vice chairman said he would hurt Media General staff who come to party events. Many press freedom groups are angry about his words. Media workers across Ghana have spoken against these threats.
This problem started earlier when cameras caught Masawudu pushing away a TV3 microphone during a news briefing. People called his actions hostile toward the press.

NPP flagbearer Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia says party members who stayed home cost them the 2024 elections. He talked to supporters during their Thank You tour at party headquarters in Accra yesterday. Many NPP voters simply did not show up at polling stations, he told the crowd. This absence hurt their chances badly against their opponents.
The former Vice President pointed out a major difference between recent elections. About 2.1 million fewer NPP supporters voted in 2024 compared to 2020 numbers. The path to winning sits inside the party itself, Bawumia explained. When NPP members choose to vote, they win elections. When they stay home, they lose contests. The party has started looking inward to fix problems.
