Former Member of Parliament for the Builsa North constituency and Communications Team Member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Timothy Ataboadey Awontirim, has described the recent protest held by members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as an embarrassment.

Speaking on the Prime Morning Show on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, Mr. Awontirim expressed that the demonstration was flawed due to their misinterpretation or ignorance of constitutional content. This, according to him, rendered the protest awful.

“The NPP do not know the content of the constitution, and what they did yesterday was an embarrassment,” he said.

According to him, the Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, found himself fumbling when presenting the petition to the Supreme Court because “not one step has been missed in the constitution.”

Mr. Awontirim slammed the NPP, saying they boycotted the 1992 constitution’s drafting, yet now they are posing as democracy experts.

The former MP pointed out the minority’s "hypocrisy", noting that the NPP undermined state institutions when they were in power and caused chaos, only to turn around to preach about democracy.
