The NPP, however, has denied any association with the firm, calling the claims "false, baseless, and defamatory." Brandcom's claims: Smear campaign, fake accounts and unpaid fees In a pre-litigation notice, according to allafrica.com, Brandcom alleges that the NPP contracted the agency to run a coordinated digital campaign aimed at discrediting then-candidate .
The Ukrainian firm claims it managed 430 fake social media accounts, developed 87 memes and infographics mocking Mahama's flagship "24-hour economy" promise, and produced four videos attacking his record from his previous presidency.
Brandcom says these activities were part of a broader strategy to influence public perception through Ghanaian media platforms and online discourse.
