News Night: Paul Afoko Eyes NPP Chairmanship Again; Gov’t Defends Public Tribunal Proposal

News Night with Kenneth Gyasi and Gemma Appiah on Joy 99.7 FM brings you the major stories shaping Ghana tonight.

Former NPP National Chairman Paul Afoko is breaking his silence on the events that led to his removal from office, rejecting allegations that he was an NDC mole. He also declares his intention to contest the party's national chairmanship once again, promising to rebuild, reunite and reposition the NPP ahead of the next general election.

Also tonight, government is defending its proposal to reintroduce Public Tribunals, arguing that the creation of hundreds of new judicial positions will expand access to justice while creating employment opportunities for legal professionals. The Minority insists government's latest explanation vindicates concerns it previously raised over the proposal.

In the second episode of the JoyNews Crumbling Start series, we travel to Bincheratanga M.A. Basic School in the Northern Region, where teachers are improvising repairs to leaking classrooms in an effort to keep education going despite deteriorating infrastructure.

And on Your Say, we examine a new UNFPA report explaining why nearly 40% of Ghana's youth remain unmarried, despite many expressing a desire to settle down. Join the conversation using #NewsNight on X or send your views via WhatsApp.
