The Minority Caucus has expressed grave concern over the arrest and remand of Mr. Kwame Baffoe, Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), on charges of "offensive conduct conducive to a breach of the peace."

 The Caucus sees this as part of a broader pattern of suppressing dissent and harassing journalists, social commentators, and opposition figures through arbitrary arrests and detentions.

In a statement signed by the Minority Second Deputy Whip, Mr Jerry Ahmed Shaib stated that,  the Caucus believes that the government's actions are aimed at silencing voices of dissent and accountability.

 He  highlighted that the  government's neglect of urgent national crises, such as the communal violence in northern Ghana, which has claimed lives and displaced thousands.

They drews attention to threats against political leaders, including the Minority Leader, and calls for serious investigation and protection.

The Minority are demanding Protection for all. The Ghana Police Service must guarantee protection for all political actors, regardless of affiliation.

 The Minority Caucus remains committed to upholding the rule of law, protecting human rights, and restoring public trust in democratic institutions.

The Caucus sees these developments as a threat to Ghana's democracy and calls for immediate action to address these concerns
