NPP trains party executives in Upper West
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has trained its executives in the Upper West Region on the dos and don’ts at the registration centres in anticipation of the new voter’s registration exercise by the Electoral Commission this June.
The exercise is to ensure vigilance at the registration centres such that no one takes the party agents for granted and that the party agents themselves will not take others for granted or fall foul of the law.
Mr Sammy Awuku, NPP National Organiser who briefed the media in Wa shortly after the training exercise also hinted that party executives were also engaged in some rudiments of party discipline.
He said it was necessary because in recent times some party members exhibited anti-party conduct including invoking curses and misbehaving towards party leaders and establishment at the least provocation.
“We are using the opportunity to educate and sound a word of caution that the party disciplinary procedures are still in force and anybody who runs contrary to the dictates and provisions of our constitution will also be dealt with,” he warned.
The NPP National Organiser also appealed to the public to endeavour to turn out in their numbers to register so that they would have their names on the new register to qualify them to participate in choosing their leaders in the 2020 elections.
On the National Identification (ID) Card, Mr Sammy Awuku noted that the National Identification Authority (NIA) would soon resume registration in the Upper West Region and urged all not to allow themselves to be influenced by anybody not to participate in the process.
He explained that the National ID Card was not only for purposes of elections, but also for purposes of business transactions, therefore encouraging all Ghanaians to take every available opportunity to acquire the card.

The Ghana Police Service has arrested three (3) suspects in connection with a case of possession of narcotic drugs and engaging in prohibited drug-related activities within the Accra metropolis.
On April 10, 2026, the Special Operations Assistant to the Inspector General of Police received intelligence that a group of individuals were planning to engage in the sale of suspected narcotic drugs at Dzorwulu in Accra.
A surveillance operation was mounted and on 11th April 2026, a Police team proceeded to the area and arrested two suspects, Bright Ayivor and Ifeanyi Ijeoba.
The suspects were found in possession of twenty-two (22) compressed substances suspected to be cocaine, which were being prepared for sale to a prospective buyer.
Further interrogation of the suspects led to the identification of a third suspect, Kwabena Botwe as a key figure in the drug trade.
A follow-up operation at Caprice resulted in his arrest after Police mounted surveillance during a planned transaction involving proceeds from the sale of the suspected drugs.
The suspect later led Police to his residence at Greda Estates, where a search resulted in the retrieval of an amount of GHc400,000 and a counting machine.
According to the police, during the operation, he attempted to bribe the arresting officers with an additional GHc420,000, which has been retained as evidence.
All the suspects are currently in Police custody assisting investigations and will be put before the court.
The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr. Christian Tetteh Yohuno, yesterday April 14, 2026, promoted seven officers of the Tema Regional Police Command to their next ranks for their role in a recent anti-robbery operation in Tema.
The promotions were awarded to officers who responded to a robbery attack on a Mobile Money vendor at Tema Community 5 leading to the shooting of two robbery suspects and the recovery of a firearm, ammunition, and other exhibits.
The officers promoted are Chief Inspector Enoch Nartey Nuer, Inspector Gershon Dekpey; Inspector Prince Asante; No. 45881 Sergeant Lukman Mohammed; No. 49900 Sergeant Eugene Kuudouru; No. 54157 Corporal Jerome Akator; and No. 59882 Lance Corporal Jonathan Sewurah.
