Political activity in Ghana is increasingly focused on the 2028 general elections, characterized by internal party disputes and candidate speculation.

Within the National Democratic Congress (NDC), internal tensions have surfaced, including demonstrations in the Ashanti Region where supporters demanded the removal of Municipal Chief Executive Eric Asibey over allegations of poor grassroots engagement. Additionally, party members have called for unity to address previous parliamentary losses. 

Amidst these developments, political figures have addressed potential candidacy and electoral tactics. Alexander Afenyo-Markin of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) warned that the NDC might use disinformation to distract from unfulfilled promises. Concurrently, TDC Ghana Ltd. Managing Director Courage Makafui Nunekpeku denied rumors that he would seek the Tema Central parliamentary seat in 2028, stating his priority remains his professional mandate and supporting the ‘Better Ghana Agenda’.
