Nobody has time for the NPP and their primaries – Mustapha Gbande

The Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mustapha Gbande, has described the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential primaries scheduled for January 31, 2026, as irrelevant to the people of Ghana.

Speaking in an interview on JoyNews, shared on X on Friday, January 30, Gbande said the internal election of the NPP offers no benefit to the country and should not attract national attention.

According to him, the NPP, during its time in government, allegedly misused state resources for personal gain and therefore has no moral grounds to engage the public with what he called political theatrics.

“I just have to say that they are looking for ways to draw in national security. Nobody has time for the NPP. Their entire party and the exercise they are going to conduct tomorrow are of no benefit and of no importance to this country,” he said.

“These are the very people who came together to milk and defraud this country. These are the same people who, in our view, are very clear about the kind of pain they have caused the people of Ghana,” he added.

Gbande also called on the NPP to conduct a peaceful primary and avoid dragging national security agencies into the process unnecessarily.

He stressed that the Ghana Police Service is capable of providing adequate security, as it did during the 2024 general elections and various by-elections.

“Let me dismiss their allegations and reaffirm that the police they have contacted and are working with to secure their election are the same police that protected all of us during the by-elections and the December general election. They should keep national security out of their confusion, stay clean, and focus on their election,” he said…CONTINUE MORE READING>>>
