NDC may use ‘fake news’ strategy ahead of 2028 polls – Afenyo-Markin

Minority Leader and Member of Parliament for Effutu, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has warned that the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) could resort to misinformation and disinformation as part of its strategy to retain power in the 2028 elections.

In a Facebook post on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, Afenyo-Markin said Ghanaians should expect what he described as “fake  news and manufactured distractions” aimed at diverting public attention from what he called the government’s failures.

“Going into the 2028 elections, one strategy the NDC Government is likely to use aggressively, in its desperation to hold on to power, is misinformation and disinformation,” he said.

He urged Ghanaians to remain vigilant, question  political claims and verify information before accepting or sharing it.

“Every Ghanaian must understand this strategy. We must stay vigilant, question what we are told and refuse to be distracted from the issues that affect us,” he said.

The Minority Leader also called on NPP members, officers, and communicators to fact-check claims and respond quickly to what he described as false propaganda.

“Check the facts, expose the lies quickly and never allow false propaganda to dictate our agenda,” he said.

He urged the NPP to keep public attention focused on what he described as the government’s broken promises and the everyday challenges facing Ghanaians.

Afenyo-Markin further called on the party to promote the political vision of former Vice President and NPP flagbearer Dr Mahamudu Bawumia ahead of the 2028 elections.

“Above all, stay on message by promoting Dr Bawumia’s vision for Ghana with clarity and conviction while working relentlessly towards victory in 2028,” he said.
