Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has urged communicators and members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to stay focused on defending the party and exposing what he described as a misinformation and disinformation campaign the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is expected to launch ahead of the 2028 election.
In a post on his Facebook page, Afenyo-Markin told party members to expect a “misinformation machinery” from the NDC aimed at shifting the conversation away from policy and the government’s unfulfilled promises.
He said the strategy is designed to deflect criticism of the opposition.
“Expect fake news and manufactured distractions aimed at taking attention away from the important national issues on which the government has failed to deliver,” he said. “This is not new it is a political tool they have mastered.”
He urged Ghanaians to remain vigilant and to understand the NDC’s strategy, calling on them to question issues rather than stay silent. He added that the NPP, as the governing party, carries a greater responsibility to scrutinise every action of government.
“NPP members, officers and communicators especially carry an even greater responsibility. We must remain alert, disciplined and focused. Check the facts, expose the lies quickly, and never allow false propaganda to dictate our agenda,” he said.
Afenyo-Markin called on the NPP to address the government’s unfulfilled promises while keeping its overall focus on Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s vision, urging members to be relentless in their pursuit of victory in 2028.
