Dombo Family Denies Endorsement of Bryan Acheampong Amid NPP Primaries

The Dombo family has firmly rejected claims that they endorsed Dr. Bryan Acheampong in the upcoming New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearership contest, labeling these reports as "palpable falsehoods". In a statement released on January 6, 2026, the family reaffirmed their long-standing support for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, criticizing the misleading nature of the claims and the publication "United in Truth" for lacking credible sources. They emphasized the importance of responsible journalism, particularly as the NPP prepares for its primaries scheduled for January 31, 2026.

In a related development, the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has issued a warning to the NPP leadership to manage their supporters effectively to prevent harassment of journalists during this politically charged period. GJA President Albert Dwumfour highlighted that political rivalry should not justify any form of violence or intimidation against the media, following an incident where a journalist was reportedly assaulted while covering a market fire incident at Kasoa. The GJA's call for restraint underscores the need for a respectful political environment as the party gears up for its internal elections.
