New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential aspirant for election 2028, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has accused the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) of using State power to harass and intimidate members of the opposition party.
Speaking at a party gathering in the Asokwa constituency of the Ashanti region, the former Vice-President lamented what he described as a growing trend of politically motivated arrests targeting NPP officials and supporters since the party lost power.
“We are witnessing what is happening after losing power. Currently, the NDC is intimidating us with power, harassing, and abusing us. Not long ago, Chairman Wontumi was arrested. Chairman Abronye has also been arrested. They are arresting our TikTokers, bloggers, appointees,” Dr Bawumia lamented.
His comment follows the arrest of the Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako (Chairman Wontumi), for allegedly causing financial loss to the state.
Similarly, the Bono Regional Chairman of the NPP, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, was arrested and arraigned before the Accra Circuit Court on Tuesday, September 9, 2025.
He was remanded into police custody until Friday, September 12, on two counts of alleged “offensive conduct conducive to a breach of the peace.”
Dr Bawumia argued that such developments underscore the need for unity within the NPP ahead of the 2028 general elections.
“This means that we need to unite so that in 2028 we will come to power,” he urged party members.
