2024 Elections: Your vote for NPP, an endorsement for development
The Deputy Women’s Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mimi Duah has appealed to Ghanaians to maintain the current government in the 2024 elections.
According to her, a vote for the flagbearer of the NPP, Dr.Mahamudu Bawumia, who is the Vice President is an endorsement for further development.
She made these remarks during an interview with spectator.com.gh.
Mimi Duah said regardless of the economic challenges which Ghana and the entire world faced, the government of NPP has brought a lot of changes and development to improve lives as wellbeing of Ghanaians.
According to her, this development cuts across all sectors, which is a testament that given another opportunity, the party can do more for Ghana.
Against this backdrop, she said there is the need for Ghanaians to vote for the NPP for them to do more for the country.
Also, she urged the youth not to allow themselves to be used to foment troubles in the elections.
This she said could lead to some negative consequences for the individuals who allow themselves to be used by unscrupulous people.
Mimi Duah called on all and sundry to be a part of ensuring a peaceful election year to create the enabling environment for businesses to thrive.

The Ashanti South Regional Police Intelligence Directorate has arrested two suspects in connection with a robbery attack on an Indian national in Obuasi and a separately planned robbery operation targeting a distribution company in the same area.
On April 16, 2026, Police received credible intelligence that a group of armed men were planning an attack in Obuasi. A police team moved swiftly into the area and arrested suspect Iddrisu Fuseini, also known as “Iddi”, at his hideout in Bedieso, Obuasi.
During interrogation, he confessed to being part of a six-member gang that attacked an Indian national at his residence at New Baakoyeden, Obuasi, on April 12 2026, robbing him of GH₵150,000.00.
He disclosed that the attack was orchestrated following a tip-off from suspect Ibrahim, an employee of the victim, who informed the gang that the victim kept large sums of money.
Further investigations led to the arrest of a second suspect, Shaibu Mohammed, also known as “SM” or “Cicinati”, on 20th April 2026 at his hideout in Gausu, Obuasi. During interrogation, he admitted to participating in the planning of the robbery and confirmed that the gang had further planned to rob a distribution company near Mawuli Hotel in Obuasi.
