Ghanaian media personality, Afua Asantewaa Oduonum, who attempted to break the Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest singing marathon has further clarified the circumstances leading to her late announcement of her result.
On Friday, February 23, when GWR replied to a tweet, Afua Asantewaa said she did not know the results of the record attempt because she was unable to access the email sent by GWR containing the results.
She noted that when she was sent the email on February 12, she alerted the GWR about her inability to access it; however, to date they are yet to get back to her.
Afua Asantewaa in an interview with GHONE television said “ I don’t think I am disappointed, everybody has his or her notion, we live in an era when one person sparks up something, it catches fire without the actual victim being given the opportunity to express his or herself.”
According to her, there is no way she would hold on to a result such as this, adding that she is a very strong personality who believes in not giving up.
She added that regardless of the outcome she would have shared with Ghanaians.
“I spoke about a miscommunication with GWR, it has to do with my login account, I don’t have access, so as I sit here I don’t have official documents to even post on my social media that this is my disqualification letter, I can’t access my account,” Afua Asantewaa lamented.
She added that this could be the reason they probably went ahead of her to comment on somebody’s post.
“I think that I haven’t disappointed Ghanaians, the only disappointment maybe is that they didn’t hear from me first which I apologise, it’s beyond my control,” she apologised.
Afua Asantewaa concluded by adding that she hoped that in due time, the public would understand and believe her story.

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has directed all aspirants campaigning in the Greater Accra Region to suspend their campaign activities on August 5 and 6 and instead mobilise supporters for the party’s planned “Democracy Under Attack” demonstration.
The directive was issued by the party’s National Steering Committee in a statement signed by the NPP General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, on Tuesday.
According to the statement, the decision forms part of efforts to ensure a strong turnout for the demonstration, which is scheduled for Thursday, August 6, 2026.
The party said the protest would begin at 5:00 a.m., with participants expected to gather at the Supreme Court in Accra.
It further directed Regional, Constituency and Polling Station Executives in Greater Accra to work closely to mobilise members and supporters for the event.
“The National Steering Committee is calling on all aspirants currently campaigning across the Greater Accra Region to temporarily suspend their campaign activities on the 5th and 6th of August and join in mobilising support for the upcoming demonstration,” the statement noted.
The NPP appealed to party members and supporters to remain peaceful, disciplined and orderly throughout the protest.
The demonstration forms part of the party’s response to concerns it has raised over issues relating to Ghana’s democratic governance and the justice system.
The NPP leadership expressed confidence that party members would cooperate fully to ensure a successful and peaceful event.

Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.
He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.
Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.
According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.
He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.
Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.
He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.
