  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.

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.

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.

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...
