 For Immediate Release  Monday 16th June, 2025. The President, H.E John Mahama, a few days ago undertook a boisterous yet boringly rhetorical visit to the land of his birth, the Savannah Region. It's trite knowledge that, Mr. Mahama displayed a wishy-washy attitude in his mandate as MP, Deputy Minister, Minister, Vice President and President toward the needs of the region. With a rare second chance to shift the needle this time around, his first official visit after ascending to the Presidential throne showed a walk in the old path-ways of neglect and parched developmental agenda. As a leader, truth, honesty, and inclusivity are key ingredients to succeed; the President has chosen once again to deceive the Chiefs and people by making ambivalent statements on major projects in the Region started by the erstwhile NPP Nana Addo/ Bawumia government. The simplest of task is to allow the due process to continue and then supervise the completion for the benefit of the people. Mr. Pr...

  The New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Damongo Constituency is mourning the painful loss of one of its most dedicated and long-serving leaders, Hon. Winifred Mbemah. His death, after a period of illness, has left a deep void in the hearts of party faithful and the wider Damongo community. In a heartfelt press release signed by the Damongo Constituency Assistant Secretary, Mr. Ndodu John, the party described Hon. Mbemah as “one of our long-standing and dedicated leaders.” He served as the fifth constituency chairman of the NPP in Damongo from 2012 to 2017 and was also a respected assemblyman for the Hangaline/Ngberipe electoral area for an impressive ten years. These two key roles positioned him as a grassroots mobilizer, community advocate, and loyal steward of the party’s vision. His commitment to the NPP dates back decades. “Hon. Mbemah was a key figure in the NPP since the era of Adu Boahen and remained committed to the party until his sudden illness,” the statement said. Eve...

Something exciting just happened at Osramanae M/A Junior High School — and trust Jakpa Gossips to bring you the scoop first! Thanks to the energetic team of Lead For Ghana Fellows at the school, three old, dusty blackboards have officially been kicked out and replaced with sleek, modern Formica markerboards. Yes, Osramanae classrooms just got a glow-up! Teachers had been dealing with all sorts of stress — from eye infections caused by chalk dust to constantly ruined outfits. The old blackboards weren’t just outdated; they were affecting health and making teaching harder than it needed to be. Fast forward to 2024, the Fellows at Osramanae JHS saw the need for change and got straight to work. They launched a fundraising campaign to ditch the chalk and bring in the whiteboards — and guess what? The community showed up! A special shoutout goes to Shiloh’s Hotel in Kete Krachi for being one of the key supporters. Thanks to their generosity (and others too), the new boards were bought and of...

 By: HON.ATTAKORA 0548741444 In every political tradition, internal disagreements are inevitable. Parties are made up of people passionate individuals with different ambitions, ideologies, and strategies. But how these internal disputes are managed often determines whether a party emerges stronger or becomes weakened, disoriented, and vulnerable in the eyes of the public. As the New Patriotic Party (NPP) grapples with post-election realities, leadership transitions, and ideological crossroads, it is critical to reflect deeply on how we manage our internal challenges especially in comparison to our main rivals, the National Democratic Congress (NDC).  THE NDC'S QUIET FIRES Contrary to public perception, the NDC has never been free of internal struggles. Leadership battles, ideological shifts, and generational tensions have all played out in their ranks. From the post-Mills era through the Mahama-Kwesi Botchwey introspections and recent power alignments within their national e...

 Electing Emmanuel Korsi Bodja as NPP National Organiser will be A Masterstroke of Political Strategy The race for the position of National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party has attracted keen interest. Mr. Emmanuel Korsi Bodja, the current Volta Regional Organiser's ambition to transition into the role of National Organiser is not just a personal political aspiration but a bold and strategic move that could reposition the NPP’s national appeal and operational strength.
