NPP General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong has criticised the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government, accusing it of failing to deliver on key campaign promises and misusing state power.
Speaking on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, during the unveiling of the NPP’s amended constitution, Mr. Kodua said Ghanaians had given the NDC an “overwhelming mandate” in the 2024 elections, expecting decisive action on illegal mining, stronger governance, and improved security.
“Nearly a year later, those expectations remain unmet,” he said, adding that the fight against illegal mining, or galamsey, has worsened, posing an “existential threat” to the nation’s environment.
He also alleged that state agencies are being deployed to intimidate political opponents and silence critical media voices.
“We have witnessed an escalation in abuse of incumbency and state-sponsored intimidation of political opponents in the media,” Mr. Kodua said.
He further accused the government of withdrawing court cases to shield officials accused of misappropriating public funds and attempting to influence independent state institutions, including moves to overturn NPP-held parliamentary seats.
Mr. Kodua also criticised the executive’s handling of the judiciary, highlighting the removal of former Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo.
“Sadly, the judiciary, which should be the final defender of the rule of law, has been captured by the executive. Judges now fear dispensing justice impartially for fear of reprisals,” he said.
