The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced its decision to withdraw from all Media General platforms, citing concerns about unprofessional conduct, biased programming, and what it describes as deliberate attempts to undermine the party’s representatives during political discussions.

In a statement issued to the public, the NPP explained that the decision follows months of engagements with Media General’s production team, hosts, and management to address grievances. According to the party, these efforts were aimed at curbing what they view as unfair treatment, including biased paneling and disruptive hosting that diminishes the credibility of their representatives.

The statement highlighted specific incidents, including one involving former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

"For instance, a regular guest known for making inflammatory remarks recently insulted former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on a program hosted by Madam Keminni Amanor. Strangely, the host did not stop or object to the unwarranted attacks on the former president; she merely laughed them off. She allowed them," the statement noted.

The party also criticized Media General’s flagship political programs, including The Key Points and Newday, for what it called “biased paneling” that consistently favored individuals aligned with the National Democratic Congress (NDC). "Depending on the issue, they assemble three or four people whose political affiliation and orientation are known to be aligned with the National Democratic Congress against a single representative from the NPP," the statement alleged.

Despite assurances from Media General management since 2023 to address the NPP’s concerns, the party claims that the situation remains unchanged. "While dealing with the apparent bias against us was challenging, we held our end of the agreement with management that there would be a change. However, the change has not happened, and from all indications, it may not occur. Hence, we have decided to withdraw."

The NPP emphasized that their withdrawal from Media General’s platforms would not hinder their role as the largest opposition party in holding the government accountable.

"We wish to assure the NPP family and the Ghanaian people that our commitment to hold this already failing John Mahama Administration accountable will not be affected by this decision to withdraw from Media General's platform, which has become decidedly biased against the public agenda. We will fulfill our responsibilities as the largest opposition party in Ghana. God being our help," the statement concluded.
