Media personality and socialite Afia Schwarzenegger, has shared her thoughts on the New Patriotic Party’s recent “Democracy Under Attack” demonstration.
In a post shared on her social media pages, Afia Schwarzenegger described the demonstration as childish, arguing that the party was protesting against issues she claims some individuals, including herself, experienced under the NPP government.
The demonstration was organised to protest what the NPP described as recurring arrests of alleged critics of the party and selective justice under the current administration.
Afia Schwarzenegger, however, said the party should rather caution its supporters, adding that she would not support insults directed at public officials.
“NPP demonstrating against things they did to some of us is childish. Tell our people to stop fooling around for their own peace. I won’t condone any insults against Dr Bawumia and his wife, and neither will the NDC,” she wrote.

Afia Schwarzenegger has over the years faced legal actions, police complaints, and court cases linked to defamation claims and alleged social media insults.
She has also faced high-profile legal battles involving public figures, involving Chairman Wontumi, which resulted in court bonds, fines, and warnings over her conduct on social media.
Meanwhile, some members of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) took to the streets of Accra on August 6, 2026, to protest what they described as selective justice and the abuse of state institutions under the current administration.
The protestors marched to the Supreme Court, where party officials presented a petition before continuing to Parliament House and finally the Jubilee House to submit another petition to the Presidency.
They called on state institutions to uphold democratic principles and protect constitutional rights.
The protest formed part of what the NPP described as a constitutional engagement aimed at raising concerns about Ghana’s democratic governance.
Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin also cautioned that the alleged arrests of critics and claims of selective justice could affect members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) should the NPP return to power in 2028.
