EC Appeals to Parliament for Police Protection to Complete Ablekuma North Collation

More than six months after Ghana’s December 7, 2024 general elections, collation of parliamentary results in Ablekuma North remains incomplete due to a lack of security support . The EC insists the results from the three outstanding polling stations can still be added, avoiding the need for a re-run. EC’s Appeal to Parliament Why a Re‑run Isn’t Necessary No injunction from the Supreme Court or any legal block—though the Police cite pending AG advice before taking action. The EC insists the process remains valid and that a re-run should be considered only if collation efforts fail—a step that would be “a last resort”.

14 Years of Oil Production: Most Ghanaians Say Oil Is Neither Blessing Nor Curse

A University of Ghana Business School study (2011–2023) shows 53% of Ghanaians believe oil production has been “neither a blessing nor a curse”, while only 21.6% see it as a blessing and 10% consider it a curse. Additionally: 58.8% said oil revenue hasn’t reduced regional inequalities. 46% said it hasn’t helped alleviate poverty. Oil Revenue, Limited Impact From 2011 to 2024, Ghana earned over US$11.2 billion in oil revenue, with GH¢27.5 billion channeled through the Annual Budget Funding Amount (ABFA) for national projects. However, the research highlights: Fragmented spending—e.g., road projects funded with under GH¢3,000—offering little public value. Regional disparities, with Greater Accra receiving ~50% of health and road funding despite only 17% of the population, while Upper East, Upper West, Northern, and Volta regions were underfunded. Academic Framing: Resource Curse or Resilience? Scholars note that Ghana’s oil experience defies simple labels—resources […]

Thomas Partey Eyes Arsenal Exit as Contract Talks Stall

Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has seen contract renewal discussions stall, despite initial optimism. The 32‑year‑old, instrumental in Arsenal finishing 2nd in the Premier League and reaching the Champions League semis (52 appearances, 4 goals, 3 assists), is now at risk of leaving North London at the end of June, when his current deal expires. Why Talks Broke Down Arsenal proposed a shorter-term contract with reduced pay, but Partey reportedly wants terms matching his 2020 deal—reflecting his value and performance. With Arsenal already sealing a pre‑agreement for Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad, the club may be preparing a midfield overhaul—signaling that Partey may no longer be central to their plans. Interest from Other Clubs Barcelona are reportedly in advanced talks to sign Partey on a free transfer, aiming to bolster squad depth under Hansi Flick . Atletico Madrid, his former club, […]

On June 18, 2025, the Ministry of Youth Development and Empowerment, acting on presidential directive, ordered an immediate and indefinite suspension of the Central Management System (CMS) used by the National Service Authority (NSA) for posting personnel.

The CMS will undergo a technical and forensic audit to secure the system and restore integrity. Alternative Arrangements Officials assured that alternative processes are in place so that current service personnel continue registrations and postings without disruption during the forensic audit. Accountability & Public Assurance The Ministry urged service personnel and the public to remain calm and cooperative, as the suspension aims to “safeguard the integrity of the national service scheme.” The CMS halt […]
