The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party NPP, Justin Frimpong Kodua, has dismissed suggestions that the party is considering changes to its parliamentary leadership.
Responding to questions about whether the party could follow the example of the National Democratic Congress NDC, which made adjustments to its leadership ahead of the last election, Mr Kodua indicated that no such discussions are currently underway.
He noted that the issue has not been presented for consideration.
He questioned the basis for any potential reshuffle, stressing that there is no clear justification for altering the party’s leadership structure in Parliament at this time.
Mr Kodua expressed strong satisfaction with the performance of the Minority Caucus.
He commended the group’s efforts under the leadership of Alexander Afenyo Markin, stating that the party is fully supportive of his role.
According to him, the party leadership at the national level remains impressed with the work of the minority.
He described the caucus as effective in its opposition role and pledged continued backing for its activities.
He added that the NPP headquarters is confident in the direction and performance of its parliamentary team, emphasizing that the party is pleased with the level of opposition provided so far.

Veteran Nigerian actor and African screen legend, Pete Edochie, has paid a courtesy call on the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, during his visit to Ghana.
Edochie is in Ghana to launch the African Legacy Project, which includes a book, documentary film and an African Youth Mentorship Initiative targeting about 500,000 young people across the continent.
Mr. Gyamfi welcomed the opportunity for GoldBod to support the mentorship initiative, noting that it aligns with the Board’s Special Intervention Programme and its focus on social impact and economic empowerment.
GoldBod’s work is also referenced in Pete Edochie’s new book, which highlights Ghana’s efforts to ensure its gold resources contribute to national development.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has warned Ghanaians seeking employment in Zambia to be cautious of fraudulent job offers that could expose them to human trafficking and forced involvement in cybercrime.
The warning follows the arrest of six Ghanaians in Lusaka, Zambia, during a joint operation by the Zambia Police Service, the Drug Enforcement Commission and the Department of Immigration on August 23, 2026.
According to the Ministry, the operation targeted a facility suspected of being involved in organised cybercrime activities and led to the arrest of 79 people, including 10 Zambians and 69 foreign nationals.
The Ministry said six of the foreign nationals arrested were Ghanaians.
It explained that reports received by the Ghana High Commission in Lusaka indicated that some of those arrested had been recruited through what appeared to be legitimate employment opportunities, including online data entry jobs.
However, the Ministry said some were allegedly forced into online scam activities after their passports were confiscated by their employers.
It warned that the situation highlights how human trafficking groups are using fake employment opportunities to lure unsuspecting job seekers into illegal activities.
The Ministry has therefore advised Ghanaians travelling to Zambia or seeking employment there to thoroughly verify job offers, recruitment agencies and prospective employers before travelling.
Ghanaians living in Zambia have also been urged to remain vigilant when responding to online job opportunities and maintain regular contact with the Ghana High Commission in Lusaka for consular assistance when necessary.
The Ministry said the government remains committed to protecting the welfare and interests of Ghanaians travelling to or living outside the country.
