The flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has declared that the party will not be cowed or intimidated by the recent arrests involving some of its members, insisting that the NPP remains determined to take its message and political ideas to the people of Ghana.
His remarks come at a time of growing unease within the party following a series of arrests targeting prominent NPP figures by security agencies.
Among those recently arrested are the Bono Regional Chairman of the NPP, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, as well as the Agona West NPP Organiser, David Essendoh.
The developments have sparked concern among party supporters, with many questioning the motive behind the actions.
Speaking during an engagement with student leaders at the University of Ghana on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, ahead of a three-day boot camp organised by the NPP, Dr. Bawumia struck a defiant tone, assuring party faithful that the arrests would not discourage the party from actively participating in national political discourse.
According to him, the NPP’s response would not be driven by fear, but rather by sustained engagement with Ghanaians through debate and the presentation of ideas.
“We will take the debate and ideas to the country, and we will make our case. We are, however, saying that we will not be intimidated,” Dr. Bawumia stated.
He further stressed the party’s resolve by declaring that no amount of arrests would silence the NPP.
“You can arrest all of us. We will come back and make our case to the people of Ghana,” he added.
