Prioritize unity and deliver 2024 victory – NPP to victors in orphan constituencies polls
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has urged newly elected parliamentary candidates in orphan constituencies to prioritize the unity of the party.
The party conducted polls on December 2 and 3 in 111 constituencies where the party has no sitting MPs.
The polls resulted in individuals such as Dr. Bernard Oko Boye being elected as the NPP’s parliamentary candidate for the Ledzokuku constituency, where he lost in the 2020 elections.
Akosua Manu, deputy CEO of the National Youth Authority, won the Adentan primary, and her boss, Pius Enam Hadzide, emerged victorious in the Asuogyaman constituency.
In an interview with Citi News on the outcome of the polls, the director of communications of the party, Richard Ahiagbah, noted that the party would provide the candidates with the necessary support in their campaigns.
“The primaries have gone very well, peaceful, transparent, and the results have not been contested by anyone, and the process was fair. So we have resolved to ensure that the January 20 upcoming primaries for constituencies where we have MPs will go well and peacefully as this has gone, but the key thing we want to emphasize is that the peace that characterised this election will also translate into the respective constituencies closing their ranks and working to deliver us victory.”
The Greater Accra regional chairman of the party, in a press statement, also assured that the regional chapter is committed to working toward unifying the party ahead of the general elections in 2024.

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.
