The New Patriotic Party (NPP) continues to grapple with its dwindling political fortunes following a devastating defeat in the recently concluded Akwatia by-election. The contest saw the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, Bernard Bediako Baido, emerging victorious and taking up the seat as Member of Parliament (MP) for Akwatia. This latest loss has further reduced the NPP’s representation in Ghana’s Parliament, leaving the party with only 87 MPs out of 276; its lowest number in the Fourth Republic. The setback has sparked worry, disappointment, and soul-searching among party faithful. Eugene Boakye Antwi, the former MP for Subin and a leading…

The fields of Africa are changing. Rain comes when it should not and fails to appear when it is needed most. Crops wither, not because the soil is poor, but because the seasons themselves are no longer trustworthy. This is not a temporary disruption. It is a permanent shift, and Sub-Saharan Africa must face it head-on. For generations, farmers relied on predictable cycles. They knew when to plant, when to expect rain, and when to prepare for harvest. Today, those rhythms are broken. Droughts stretch longer than memory can recall. Floods sweep away entire villages and wash away what little…

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign for the presidential nomination is a peculiar one, built on a slogan that is either an act of pure genius or a dangerous miscalculation. The Vice-President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) front-runner is pushing a message that reduces the complex challenge of winning an election to a simple, if bizarre, arithmetic problem: ‘Aka 9 Pɛ’—’Only 9 more to go’. This audacious slogan, now ubiquitous on billboards and in political advertisements across the country, is not, as the uninitiated might assume, a reference to a sporting target. Instead, it is a calculation based on the 2024 election…
