‘That is what a responsible President should do’ – Abena Osei-Asare throws challenge to Mahama

Former Deputy Finance Minister and Member of Parliament for Atiwa East, Abena Osei-Asare, has said the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is expecting a response from President John Dramani Mahama following the presentation of a petition during the party's "Democracy Under Attack" demonstration on Thursday, August 6, 2026.

Speaking at the demonstration grounds in Accra, Osei-Asare said the petition was intended to draw the President's attention to what the party believes are growing concerns about governance and democratic accountability in the country.

The Atiwa East MP further argued that the country's current situation requires decisive leadership, insisting that the President must intervene to address the concerns raised by the opposition party.
