Even if a chicken stands for election in the name of NPP, I will vote for it…Agona West NPP caution MP
Some members of the New Patriotic Party in the Agona West Constituency in the Central region have cautioned the sitting Member of Parliament and former Minister Gender, Children and Social Protection, Cynthia Morrison in her campaign approach.
According to them, the current MP who lost the NPP Parliamentary Primaries in April to Chris Arthur should concentrate on her campaign as an independent candidate and stop smear campaigns against the NPP PC.
Speaking to the media, one of them said “Even if a chicken stands for an election in the name of NPP, I will vote for it because I love the party.”
They said the people of Agona West supported Cynthia Morrison to go to Parliament for two terms, and it is now time for another person.
According to them, Cynthia Morrison’s allegations against their candidate are unfounded and unacceptable.
They therefore sent a caution to the MP, Cynthia Morrison to desist from mentioning their Parliamentary Candidate, Chris Arthur’s name in her campaign.

NPP to file complaint against NDC’s Sofo Azorka
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) says it will lodge a formal complaint with the Ghana Police Service against the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) 1st National Vice Chairman, Chief Sofo Azorka, over alleged threats and acts of violence.
In a statement signed by its General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, the NPP said Chief Sofo Azorka and the Abuakwa North Constituency Communication Officer of the NDC, Alhaji Abdul Wahab Amadu, had issued death threats against some of its senior members.
Those threatened include the Minority Leader, Osahen Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Party’s National Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye, and Hon. Frank Annor Dompreh.
The Party also accused Chief Azorka and his group of physically attacking its 3rd National Vice Chairman, Alhaji Osman Masawudu.
According to the NPP, such actions undermine Ghana’s democratic progress and could fuel insecurity, especially as the country recently slipped in the Global Peace Index rankings.
The Party is therefore calling on the Inspector General of Police to arrest and investigate Chief Sofo Azorka, Alhaji Abdul Wahab, and others seen in videos circulating in the media.
It stressed that the alleged violent conduct was reckless and must be investigated and punished.

Akwatia by-elections underway
Voting has begun in the Akwatia Constituency by-election today, Tuesday, with more than 52,000 registered voters expected to cast their ballots.
Polling stations opened at 7:00 a.m. and will close at 5:00 p.m., according to the Electoral Commission (EC).
The by-election was triggered by the death of the sitting Member of Parliament, Ernest Kumi, on July 7, 2025.
Before his death, Ernest Kumi had faced a series of legal battles over his 2024 victory in the constituency, including a High Court injunction, a contempt case, and an appeal that ended at the Supreme Court.
The election is being contested by candidates from the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), and smaller political parties.
Security agencies have been deployed across the constituency to ensure peace and order during the voting process.
The EC has assured the public of a free, fair, and transparent exercise.
Ballot counting will begin immediately after polls close, with results expected later tonight.
