Former National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and current Member of Parliament for Akuapim North, Sammi Awuku, has joined the party’s youth wing for its ongoing protest against what they describe as state-sponsored harassment of party members by the ruling government.

The protest, known as 'Yɛn Suro Ahunahuna,' commenced on Tuesday morning, September 23, 2025, at Obra Spot at the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange and is expected to end at the Jubilee House, where a petition will be presented to the Presidency.

Speaking to journalists during the walk, Sammi Awuku emphasised what he described as the selective application of the rule of law by the current National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration.

He noted that under the current regime, NDC members who come into contact with the law and law enforcement agencies are treated differently, including being granted bail under different circumstances compared to others.

As part of the protest, the NPP youth wing is also scheduled to visit the Police Headquarters, where another petition will be presented to the Inspector General of Police (IGP).

The party has cited the arrests of some of its leading members, including the Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, alias Wontumi, and the Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, alias Abronye DC, as grounds for the protest.
