NPP to stage ‘Democracy Under Attack’ protest on August 6

The planned protest comes amid heightened political tensions, with the NPP insisting the demonstration is intended to defend civil liberties, the rule of law and democratic accountability.

The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced a nationwide demonstration dubbed "Democracy Under Attack", scheduled for Thursday, August 6, 2026, as it raises concerns over what it describes as growing threats to Ghana's democratic governance.

Backing the planned demonstration, NPP communications team member and spokesperson for former Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, noted that the protest is in response to what he claims are increasing attempts by the government to silence dissent and weaken democratic institutions.
