  NPP Presidential Primaries:  Run-off or Outright Win? Breaking Down the Regional Trends of the NPP Primaries Accra, Ghana – January 31, 2026 – The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is on the edge of its seat tonight as results from its crucial Presidential Primaries begin to trickle in. After a day of intense voting across all 275 constituencies, the party is now awaiting the verdict that will determine its flagbearer for the upcoming general election. The atmosphere is thick with anticipation, as it appears to be a much tighter race than many initially predicted. The Big Three: A Battle for Supremacy The contest has largely narrowed down to three prominent figures: • Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia: Widely considered the frontrunner, Dr. Bawumia's campaign has been built on his strong economic credentials and his role as Vice President. • Kennedy Agyapong: The maverick MP for Assin Central, Mr. Agyapong has run an energetic campaign, often positioning himself as the voice of the grassroots an...

Clearing the Path: Navigating Ghana's Demolition Dilemma The sound of excavators tearing down structures along Ghana's waterways has echoed across communities in January 2026, leaving a trail of debris, distress, and heated debate. The National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), supported by various security forces, has initiated a wide-scale demolition exercise, particularly around the Kpeshie Lagoon in areas like Teshie and Tse-Addo, citing urgent environmental protection and flood prevention. While the necessity of addressing perennial flooding is undeniable – a crisis that has claimed lives and destroyed property for years – the immediate human cost of these demolitions cannot be ignored. Viral videos capturing the raw pain and frustration of affected citizens, some contemplating desperate measures, highlight the profound impact on livelihoods built over years, often by informal sector workers and small business owners. Churches, shops, and homes have been reduced to...

THE DAY THE EARTH SPOKE BACK

  The Day the Earth Spoke Back On a Thursday morning, when the sun rose slowly over the forests of Akyem, the land itself stirred. Elders said the ground felt warm that day—not from heat, but from Asase Yaa , the Earth Mother, who rules all things living and resting beneath the soil. Thursday was her sacred day, and she was listening. Long before the borders of Ghana were drawn, before forts kissed the coastline and gold tempted foreign eyes, the people lived by a sacred agreement with the gods— the Abosom —children of Nyame , the Sky Father. Nyame lived high above, beyond the reach of arrogance and pride. He saw everything. When humans forgot humility, it was Nyame who pulled the sky farther away, reminding them that wisdom must be sought, not seized. On this particular Thursday, a young hunter named Kobina walked deep into the forest near the River Tano. He was chasing glory, not food—hoping to kill more than he needed so his name would be praised. But the forest belonged to Tan...
