The flagbearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has declared that the party will not be intimidated by the recent arrests involving some of its members, insisting that the NPP remains committed to engaging Ghanaians with its ideas and policies.
His comments come amid growing concerns within the party over what some members describe as increasing targeting of NPP officials by security agencies.
Among the recent arrests are the Bono Regional Chairman of the NPP, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, and the Agona West NPP Organiser, David Essendoh.
Speaking at a meeting with student leaders at the University of Ghana on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, ahead of a three-day boot camp organised by the party, Dr. Bawumia said the NPP would continue to promote its message through democratic engagement rather than fear.
“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,” he stated.
“You can arrest all of us. We will come back and make our case to the people of Ghana,” he added.
Dr. Bawumia stressed that the NPP remains focused on connecting with the electorate and defending its political ideals despite the challenges facing some of its members.
