Scores of New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters have already converged at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle ahead of the party’s much-anticipated “Yen Suro Ahunahuna” demonstration against the government and the Police.
The protest, officially scheduled for today Tuesday, September 23, 2025, is aimed at challenging what the NPP describes as politically motivated harassment, intimidation, and abuse of state institutions against its members.
Party members say the demonstration has become necessary following what they claim are targeted arrests, prolonged remands, and selective investigations of opposition figures, while government officials facing similar or graver allegations are treated with leniency.
At a recent press conference, NPP National Youth Organiser Salam Mustapha cited the arrest and detention of the party’s Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe (Abronye DC), and alleged harassment of Ashanti Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi-Boasiako (Chairman Wontumi) and several pro-NPP social media activists as catalysts for the protest.
Mustapha accused the ruling NDC government of eroding Ghana’s democratic foundations by reintroducing a “culture of silence” and exhibiting authoritarian tendencies under President John Dramani Mahama.
Dubbed “Yen Suro Ahunahuna”—loosely translated as “We are not afraid of intimidation”—the protest is expected to attract thousands of supporters, with many already stationed at Circle.
