The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has confirmed that its planned peaceful demonstration will proceed on Wednesday, August 6, 2026, despite the government’s scheduled national memorial ceremony for victims of the recent military helicopter crash. Speaking to the media at the party’s headquarters today, NPP National Organiser Henry Nana Boakye urged the public to ignore reports of a cancellation and to turn out in their numbers. He said, “We urge all well-meaning Ghanaians and lovers of democracy to come out peacefully and make their voices heard.” According to the National Organiser, the protest dubbed “Democracy Under Attack” is intended to reaffirm the party’s commitment to the Constitution of Ghana and to defend democratic freedoms. “Anyone who attempts to disrupt this peaceful demonstration will be held responsible,” he warned.
