The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has strongly condemned alleged threats of assault made by Hopeson Yaovi Adorye, a panelist on United Television’s (UTV) Adekye Nsroma morning show, against Jennifer Oforiwaa Queen, Deputy Director of Communications for the NPP.
In a statement dated April 17 and signed by NPP Communications Director Richard Ahiagbah, the party expressed deep concern over the incident.
“Ghana has made significant strides in driving women’s political participation and amplifying their voices in our national discourse. Threats of assault or actual assault on women for expressing their political views must not be tolerated,” the statement read.
The NPP emphasized the importance of safeguarding women’s rights to participate in political discourse without fear of intimidation or violence.
The party also called on media houses, including UTV, to ensure their platforms remain spaces for respectful and democratic dialogue.
The NPP urged vigilance against conduct that undermines Ghana’s democratic values and the principle of free speech, stressing the need to protect the country’s progress in promoting women’s political participation.
