Aspiring National Organiser for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Kwadwo Agyei Yeboah, popularly known as Nana Kay, has advised the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to refrain from using state institutions for political intimidation.

Instead, he urged the ruling party to focus on delivering the economic transformation it promised Ghanaians.

Nana Kay, a member of the Communications and Elections Directorate, noted that despite government claims of cedi stabilisation, the improvement is not being felt by ordinary citizens.

He made these remarks while reacting to the Tamale High Court’s order for a rerun of the constituency election.

According to him, the court exceeded the reliefs sought by the NDC, alleging that it granted additional, unrequested reliefs “to appease the paymasters.”

Speaking in an interview on Nyankonton Mu Nsem on Rainbow Radio 87.5 FM, Nana Kay argued that the NDC is drifting from its core mandate and its commitment to maintaining economic stability.

He expressed confidence that the NPP will retain the constituency seat even if the court-ordered rerun is conducted.

He further reiterated the position of Majority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, describing the court’s decision as unfortunate and suggesting that it forms part of a broader agenda to please the government.

While reaffirming the NPP’s respect for the ruling, he stressed that the party “totally disagrees” with it and has resolved to file an appeal.

“This is unfortunate. The intimidation is one too many, and we must deal with it. I totally agree with the Majority Leader that it seems they are working for their paymasters. We know for a fact that he is the sitting Member of Parliament, and nothing can change that,” he stated.

Nana Kay cautioned the government to “tread cautiously,” citing what he described as “serious scandals.” He referenced reports of students seeking admission to senior high schools allegedly being asked to pay GH₵40,000 or more.

“Are they going in search of jobs? If so, then why are they being made to pay GH₵40,000?” he questioned, adding that the intimidation of opposition party members remains a major concern.

“They should be careful. If they think they have the supermajority and can do anything they want, they should be careful because power will certainly change hands.”

He stressed that the country is not operating under normal circumstances, pointing to a recent Afrobarometer report indicating that over 60 percent of respondents preferred military rule to civilian rule.

Given this, he insisted the government “must tread with caution in how it is intimidating opposition members.”

Finally, he stated that the NPP will not withdraw from the rerun, expressing confidence that the party will emerge victorious.
