The Frankfurt Chapter of the New Patriotic Party in Germany is appealing to the National Peace Council, traditional leaders, and other key stakeholders to intervene in what it describes as the targeted arrest of its members by the governing National Democratic Congress(NDC) through state security agencies.
Speaking in an interview with Adom News, Michael Arthur, also known as McArthur, who is an aspirant for Communication Officer of the NPP, Germany, warned that the development could escalate political tension between Ghana’s two dominant parties, the NPP and the NDC.
According to Arthur, the use of security agencies to arrest NPP members under the current administration is troubling and risks undermining the country’s democratic stability.
He called for swift action from respected institutions to mediate before the situation deteriorates.
Michael Arthur further urged President John Dramani Mahama to shift focus to delivering on the major campaign promises he made ahead of the 2024 general elections.
He cited key pledges such as the 24-hour economy policy, the establishment of a Women’s Bank, and other social intervention programs that Ghanaians are still expecting.
He argued that the government’s attention should be on governance and fulfilling its mandate to citizens rather than actions that could be perceived as political intimidation.
