Fresh data from Global InfoAnalytics indicates a significant shift in Ghana’s political landscape, with declining affiliation for the New Patriotic Party and rising support for the National Democratic Congress. According to Executive Director Mussa Dankwa, an ongoing face to face tracking poll conducted in March 2026 shows that only 25 percent of voters now openly associate with the NPP, compared to 46 percent for the NDC. This marks a notable change from the period before the 2024 general elections, when the NPP held 37 percent affiliation and the NDC stood at 33 percent. The findings suggest a widening gap between…

Collaboration could be Ghana’s secret ingredient to fixing its tomato shortage. With Burkina Faso halting fresh tomato exports, the country faces immediate supply gaps, rising prices, and anxious households.

He emphasized that coordinated action is essential to mobilize…

Ghana could eliminate its persistent tomato shortage within a year if decisive policy action is taken, according to Dr. Felix Mawuli Kamassah, CEO of Maplix Trust Ghana Limited, who says the country already has the capacity to meet its own demand. The assertion comes at a time when Ghana’s tomato market is under pressure following Burkina Faso’s halt of fresh tomato exports, a development that has exposed the country’s long-standing reliance on imports to bridge its domestic supply gap. Prices have risen sharply in markets, reflecting the strain on supply chains and the essential role tomatoes play in daily consumption.…

Ghana’s tomato market is facing a shake-up. Burkina Faso, a key supplier, has halted exports of fresh tomatoes, creating immediate supply gaps and sending prices soaring in local markets.

Ghana’s Deputy Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr Justice Srem Sai, has called for a more equitable global legal framework to address cross-border fraud, warning against arrangements that disproportionately favour Western jurisdictions. Speaking on the opening day of the Global Fraud Summit, he made it clear that Ghana will not support any system that creates an imbalance in extradition practices.

Leo Nelson Ayivor In the fertile soils of Ghana lies a quiet but powerful opportunity—one that has long been overlooked despite its potential to transform livelihoods and strengthen the national economy. The tomato, a staple in almost every Ghanaian kitchen, is fast emerging as an untapped goldmine waiting for strategic investment and policy direction. From the bustling markets of Accra to the farms of Navrongo, Techiman, Akumadan, Ziope and Anloga, tomatoes are in constant demand. Yet, Ghana continues to rely heavily on imports, especially from neighboring countries like Burkina Faso, to meet local consumption needs. This paradox—high demand coupled with…

Decades of abandoned factories, unfulfilled policies, and wasted harvests leave farmers helpless and Ghana’s food security at risk By Curtice Dumevor Ghana is blessed with fertile soil and hardworking farmers, yet across the country, the harvests are turning into heartbreak.

In Ziope, Michael Agbobli recounts weeks of labor and money spent on fertilizers, yet much of the crop goes unsold (ResearchGate, 2015). Similarly, maize farmers in Sissala stare helplessly at…
