I dare say that Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen was the only hope of the NPP for election 2024. Even though there are general public sentiments that this government has disappointed Ghanaians and they may reject the NPP, I believe that Alan prior to his exit from the NPP flag bearer race was the only candidate in the race that Ghanaians could cut some slack to some extent and consider for selection in election 2024 if voted as flag bearer of the party. I assert this based on several factors and one is that Alan was the least exposed candidate to controversy in the media in the NPP flag bearer race. Serving in his former role as Trade Minister, and serving in the other senior capacities that he did in this government, one would have expected that all the controversies surrounding the government business would have entangled him but no. He was a silent part of government and this silence makes it easier for Ghanaians to accept a message that disassociates him from the regime as compared to...

The President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has charged members of the Parliament of ECOWAS to find solutions to the emerging re-militarisation of governance, the attempted confiscation of democracy by elites and the wanton desire to destroy democracy by terrorist groups and armed criminal gangs in the region. Stating what he described as three serious threats to democracy in the region, President Akufo-Addo said, “democracy in West Africa is in danger”, thus the regional fraternity “must work even harder to entrench the principles of democratic accountability in the citizenry.” According to President Akufo-Addo, democracy in the region has been seriously subverted by “the attempted confiscation of democracy by elites, who engage, through legal antics, in the manipulation of constitutional rules and the subjugation of the institutions of the Republic with the sole aim of remaining in power.” He added that another key threat is “the emerging re-militarisation of go...
