Top Story: NPP Takes ‘Democracy Under Attack’ Protest to Mahama with Three Key Demands

Top Story with Kenneth Gyasi on Joy 99.7 FM brings you comprehensive coverage of the NPP's "Democracy Under Attack" protest and the political battle over the future of Ghana's democracy.

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) marched to the Jubilee House to present a petition to President John Dramani Mahama, demanding action on what it describes as growing threats to democratic governance. The party outlined three key demands: reject the proposed Tribunal Bill, halt the arrest and prosecution of opposition members, and safeguard the independence of the judiciary.

The demonstration, led by senior party executives and Minority MPs, began at the Supreme Court before proceeding to the seat of government. We bring you the key moments from the protest, the contents of the petition, and the response from the Judicial Service, which insists its independence remains intact.

Tonight, we ask:

Why is the NPP describing Ghana's democracy as being under attack? What are the three demands presented to President Mahama? How has the Judicial Service responded to claims of political interference? What do governance experts and both major political parties make of the allegations?

Featuring reactions from:

Prof. Baffour Agyeman-Duah, Former UN Senior Governance Advisor Haruna Mohammed, Deputy General Secretary, NPP Mustapha Gbande, Deputy General Secretary, NDC and Deputy Director of Operations at the Presidency
