I Was Blocked! Afenyo-Markin Reveals How NPP Elders Thwarted His 2004 Parliamentary Bid
Veteran politician and lawyer Daniel Afenyo-Markin has opened up about the political hurdles he faced within his own party, revealing that senior NPP elders blocked his attempt to contest the parliamentary seat in 2004.
In a candid interview, Afenyo-Markin explained that despite his strong credentials and local support, internal party dynamics and the influence of party veterans prevented him from securing the nomination. “I had the vision and backing of the grassroots, but the elders had other plans,” he lamented, describing a process rife with favoritism and political maneuvering.
The revelation sheds light on the often opaque nature of party politics in Ghana, where aspiring candidates may face roadblocks not from opponents, but from their own senior colleagues. Analysts say this exposes tensions between emerging leaders and party hierarchies, highlighting the struggle between meritocracy and established influence.
Afenyo-Markin’s disclosure has sparked renewed discussions about transparency and fairness in candidate selection, with many supporters calling for reforms to ensure young and capable politicians aren’t sidelined by entrenched party elites.
The veteran MP concluded by emphasizing that while the setback delayed his political journey, it did not deter his ambitions, ultimately shaping him into the seasoned political figure he is today.

IRAN HOLDS THE KEY TO ENDING WAR — Kwesi Pratt Jnr Issues Stark Warning
Veteran Ghanaian journalist Kwesi Pratt Jnr has sparked debate with a bold statement about the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, declaring that Iran holds the decisive influence in ending the war.
Pratt argued that while international discussions often focus on diplomatic pressure from the U.S. or Israel, Tehran’s strategic position and control over key regional levers make it the ultimate power in determining whether the conflict continues or subsides.
He emphasized that any lasting peace or ceasefire is unlikely without Iran’s agreement, challenging mainstream narratives that credit Western or Israeli efforts as the primary path to resolution.
The statement has generated widespread discussion, highlighting the complex dynamics of the war and the critical role Iran plays in shaping its outcome. Pratt’s remarks underline the need for nuanced understanding of global conflicts and the influence of regional powers in international diplomacy.

Kwesi Pratt Blasts Double Standards in US‑Iran Conflict
Veteran Ghanaian journalist and political commentator Kwesi Pratt Jr has strongly criticised what he describes as glaring double standards in the handling of the United States‑Iran conflict by the international community, particularly Western powers.
Pratt, the managing editor of the Insight newspaper and a long‑time Pan‑African voice in Ghanaian media, argued that global powers often apply different rules depending on their own interests. He pointed out that actions taken by the United States and its allies are frequently justified under the banner of democracy and security, while similar moves by other countries are condemned or treated very differently.
According to reports, Pratt said the conflict exposed how powerful nations, especially Western governments, can influence international narratives to suit their geopolitical aims, leaving smaller states and non‑Western actors at a disadvantage. He criticised the Western media and political establishment for presenting events in a biased way that favours U.S. interests, while overlooking or minimising actions by other countries that would be widely condemned if done by nations outside the Western bloc.
Pratt’s intervention has sparked debate among commentators, with supporters saying his remarks highlight an important truth about global politics, and critics arguing that his comments oversimplify the complexities of international diplomacy and conflict.
His comments underscore long‑standing concerns among some African analysts that Western countries often frame international crises in ways that protect their own strategic interests while minimising scrutiny of their own foreign policy choices.
Kwesi Pratt Jr’s critique of double standards in the US‑Iran situation adds to his broader commentary on global inequality and the need for a more balanced and fair international order.

Prosecution Stumbles in High‑Profile Sammy Gyamfi In‑Law Murder Case!
In a dramatic twist that has shaken public confidence, the prosecution reportedly fumbled key aspects of the murder case involving one of Sammy Gyamfi’s in‑laws, raising questions about competence and accountability in Ghana’s justice system.
Critics say the state’s legal team failed to present critical evidence and struggled with procedural errors during a crucial hearing, weakening the case against the accused and disappointing relatives seeking justice. The missteps — which legal analysts describe as “unforced errors” — have ignited outrage among observers who expected a strong prosecution in this high‑profile matter.
The case, already under intense public scrutiny because of its political and social implications, has now taken an even more controversial turn. Many Ghanaians on social media are expressing frustration, accusing the prosecution of bungling what should have been a clear path to conviction.
As the courtroom saga continues, legal experts warn that unless the prosecution regains its footing, the chances of securing a conviction could be seriously compromised — a scenario that would further undermine trust in the criminal justice process.
More details are still unfolding, but one thing is certain: this case has become a national talking point, and the prosecution’s performance is facing fierce criticism from across the country.

INSIDE GHANA’S UN SLAVERY MOTION: WHAT IT TAKES TO SUCCEED OR STUMBLE
Ghana has once again found itself in the global spotlight as it pushes a critical motion on slavery at the United Nations, sparking intense discussion about what it truly takes for such initiatives to pass—or fail.
The motion, which seeks to address historical injustices and advance reparative measures, is a complex balancing act involving diplomatic strategy, coalition-building, and navigating international politics. Passing requires broad support from UN member states, particularly influential blocs, while any misstep could see the proposal stall or be rejected outright.
Experts note that successful motions often hinge on careful framing, robust evidence, and persuasive advocacy by Ghanaian diplomats, alongside leveraging historical ties and moral arguments that resonate with both developing and developed nations. Political timing, regional alliances, and the ability to counter opposing narratives also play a decisive role.
Failing to secure enough backing could result in reputational setbacks and weaken Ghana’s voice on the global stage, but proponents argue that even initiating the motion is a statement of leadership and moral responsibility.
As negotiations unfold behind closed doors, Ghana’s UN delegation faces the high-stakes challenge of turning a bold historical claim into tangible international support—an endeavor that combines diplomacy, strategy, and unwavering resolve.
