The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government of carrying out arbitrary arrests and prosecutions of its members.
NPP General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong issued the warning in a strongly worded statement. He said the government is sidestepping the constitution and undermining respect for the rule of law, liberty, and freedom of expression.
“They are sidestepping our constitution, the respect for the rule of law, liberty, freedom of expression, and we want to send a signal to them that no condition is permanent and definitely, the tables will turn,” Kodua Frimpong stated.
He added: “And we don’t want a situation where the tables will turn, and people will come to the NPP government and ask why these things are happening.”
The NPP described the actions as a growing pattern that raises serious concerns about politically motivated use of state institutions against opposition voices.
Ghana returned to constitutional rule in 1992 and has since built a reputation for peaceful democratic transitions and institutional resilience. Successive governments have faced expectations to uphold due process, protect civil liberties, and avoid selective application of the law.
The party’s statement serves as a direct appeal for restraint. It urged the government to operate within constitutional bounds and respect democratic norms that allow for dissenting views without fear of harassment.
The NPP maintained that tolerance of criticism remains essential for a healthy multiparty system. It warned that any erosion of these principles today could set dangerous precedents for tomorrow.
