Major Ghanaian political parties, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), have begun internal reorganizations and strategic shifts in preparation for the 2028 general elections.

The NDC has largely completed constituency executive elections, with leadership calling for unity to resolve grievances and avoid past divisions. Meanwhile, the NPP has implemented new strategic appointments and introduced multi-tiered bureaucratic requirements for parliamentary aspirants. These new measures have faced criticism from observers who suggest they may protect incumbents rather than promote intra-party democracy.

Political scrutiny has also intensified regarding government accountability. The NPP has faced criticism over its internal selection processes, while the NDC has been challenged by the Minority Leader to maintain high standards of accountability. This follows controversy regarding a reported GH¢49.72 million expenditure for the evacuation of Ghanaians from South Africa, which has led to allegations of discrepancies in documentation and calls for an independent audit.
