The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced its immediate withdrawal from all platforms operated by Media General, citing concerns over alleged bias and unprofessionalism in the media group’s political coverage.
In a statement signed by the party’s Director of Communications, Richard Ahiagbah, the NPP claimed that despite repeated assurances from Media General, unfair treatment of the party has persisted.This includes unbalanced paneling, disruptive hosting, and repeated attacks on leading party figures.
The NPP cited specific incidents, including a program hosted by Keminni Amanor, where a guest made inflammatory remarks about former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. The party accused the host of condoning the comments by failing to intervene.
The party also criticized political shows like Key Points and Newday for regularly assembling panels skewed in favor of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), leaving NPP representatives outnumbered.
“Despite repeated assurances since 2023, the observed unprofessionalism and unfairness persist,” the statement read.
The NPP assured its members and the public that this withdrawal would not affect its commitment to holding the government accountable.
The party has instructed all its members to comply with the directive until further notice.
