The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has strongly condemned alleged threats made by Hopeson Yaovi Adorye, a representative of the Movement for Change, against Jennifer Oforiwaa Queen, the party’s Deputy Director of Communications.

The reported threats occurred during a live broadcast of United Television’s (UTV) Adekye Nsroma morning show, prompting widespread backlash and calls for action to protect political participants—especially women.

In a statement issued on April 17 and signed by NPP Communications Director Richard Ahiagbah, the party expressed serious concern over the incident and underscored the need to protect women involved in political engagement from threats and harassment.

"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 emphasized.

The NPP further urged media organizations, particularly UTV, to ensure that their platforms foster civil and democratic debate.

The party also encouraged all stakeholders to remain vigilant in safeguarding Ghana’s democratic principles and upholding the right to free expression.
