Supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) gathered at the Supreme Court in Accra on Wednesday for the party’s “Democracy Under Attack” protest.
Party executives, supporters and sympathizers joined the demonstration before marching through parts of the capital.
The NPP organized the protest to highlight what it described as growing concerns about constitutional governance, judicial independence and the rule of law.
Party leaders said recent political and legal developments prompted the demonstration.
The NPP delivered petitions to the Supreme Court, the Presidency and Parliament.
In the petitions, party officials urged the institutions to protect constitutional governance, uphold due process and strengthen the independence of state institutions.
According to the NPP, the protest remained peaceful throughout the day.
Party leaders said they wanted to draw national attention to issues they believe threaten Ghana’s democratic system.
They also claimed that some opposition figures have faced political intimidation and selective application of the law. Those claims reflect the NPP’s position.
Meanwhile, the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) rejected the allegations.
Government officials insisted that state institutions continue to perform their constitutional duties independently and without political interference.
The demonstration comes as political debate over governance and accountability continues across the country.
Political analysts say peaceful demonstrations remain an important part of democratic participation.
However, they also encourage political actors to resolve disputes through constitutional and legal processes.
Ghana’s Constitution guarantees citizens the right to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression.
These rights allow political parties and civil society groups to organize demonstrations while complying with public order laws.
The NPP said it expects the institutions that received the petitions to examine the issues carefully and respond through the appropriate constitutional channels.
