The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has accused the Ghana Police Service of showing bias and practicing selective justice in handling cases involving political parties.
On his facebook wall, he expressed disappointment that almost a week after the NPP lodged a complaint against Chief Sofo Azorka and Alhaji Abdul Wahab for allegedly issuing death threats during the Akwatia by-election, the police have failed to act.
The alleged threats, according to him, were directed at the NPP’s Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh, and himself.
He contrasted this with what he described as the swift action of the police in arresting the NPP’s Bono Regional Chairman over misdemeanour charges, denying him sufficient legal representation, and arraigning him before court within 48 hours.
“The hypocrisy and selective justice of the Ghana Police must cease immediately,” Nana Boakye said.
He warned that such conduct undermines public confidence in the police and poses a threat to national security.
He further urged the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to act fairly and not allow the Police Service to be used as an extension of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).
According to Nana Boakye, the NPP will not sit idle and will in the coming days take steps to resist what he called “open bias” and the “unfair application of the law.”
“We have a democracy to protect,” he stressed.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has taken note of public allegations of extortion and related conduct made against the Minority Leader of Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin.
The allegations were made by the Chief Executive of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi.
In a brief statement, the OSP said it has also received a joint petition submitted by two persons, as well as two separate petitions from other persons, in relation to the same allegations.
“Given the nature of the allegations, the OSP will assess the case and determine whether it falls within its statutory mandate and whether further investigative action is warranted,” the statement said.
The development comes amid a heated public feud between the Minority in Parliament and the leadership of GoldBod over the operations of the Domestic Gold Purchase Programme.
The Minority, led by Afenyo-Markin, has accused GoldBod and the Bank of Ghana of causing a loss of over $1.7 billion, citing the International Monetary Fund’s August 2026 report. The Minority has vowed to pursue the matter as Parliament has reconvened for an emergency sitting.
GoldBod, on the other hand, has rejected claims by some NPP MPs, including Tano South MP Dr Gideon Boako, that it owes the Bank of Ghana GH¢1 billion in overdrafts, describing the claim as “false and malicious.”
In the latest twist, GoldBod CEO Sammy Gyamfi has accused the Minority Leader of extortion and related conduct, an allegation that has triggered petitions to the OSP.
The OSP is mandated under Act 959 to investigate and prosecute specific cases of alleged or suspected corruption and corruption-related offences involving public officers and politically exposed persons.

General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong, has filed his nomination to contest the position of General Secretary again as the party begins its rebuilding efforts ahead of the 2028 general elections.
He was accompanied by party stalwarts and supporters who were in high spirits, expressing confidence that he is the right person to hold the position.
Speaking after filing his nomination, Mr Kodua Frimpong assured the rank and file of the party that he would not disappoint them.
“I can assure you that the faith the rank and file of the party have had in me, I will never disappoint them,” he said.
He also pledged to run a clean campaign devoid of personal attacks.
“I can assure you that our internal campaign will be devoid of personal attacks,” he told his fellow contestants and the rank and file of the party as he seeks to retain his position.
His tenure has seen the party through the 2024 general elections, where the NPP lost power to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) after eight years in government.
The party is currently in a rebuilding phase, with internal elections scheduled to elect new national executives to lead its reorganization towards the 2028 polls.
The General Secretary position is considered one of the most influential in the party’s administrative structure, responsible for the day-to-day running of the party secretariat and implementation of party decisions.
