With a strong statement, Salam Mustapha, the NPP National Youth Organiser, has announced plans for the party to replicate strategies employed by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during the previous elections. Speaking in an interview with Asaasepa Radio, Mustapha disclosed that the NPP intends to instruct its supporters to take over collation centres, mirroring what he claims the NDC did during the 2024 elections.
“As we approach 2028, we will employ the same tactics that the NDC used in the past,” Mustapha declared. He pointed specifically to the actions of NDC’s spokesperson Sammy Gyamfi, who, according to him, directed party supporters from the headquarters to secure collated results.

The NPP National Youth Organizer also emphasized the need for a more proactive approach in the upcoming elections. According to him, past events led to a perception of blame directed at the NPP following instances of violence.
The NPP National Youth Organizer referred to the 2020 Techiman South incidents as references to his claims. According to him, lives lost during the elections were attributed to former president, Akuffo Addo’s incompetencies. To him, he was very careful so that the NPP attracts no blames for any further deaths, however the NDC were not concerned about the situation. This piousness subsequently had negative impacts on the NPP during the elections.
Furthermore, Mustapha expressed his immediate intention to revive the NPP’s controversial security groups, such as the Invisible Forces and Delta Forces.
Salam Mustapha, the NPP National Youth Organiser, stated that they would no longer refer to these bodies as vigilante groups but as active party members with rights to support their party’s aims. He proposed formalizing these factions within the party structure to create a security unit that would extend from the national level to constituencies across Ghana.
“As long as I am a national executive of this party, we will never claim that we have disbanded groups like the Invisible Forces or Bulldogs. They are not vigilante groups; they are members of the party. Don’t they vote? Even if they are considered vigilantes, we still care for them,” the NPP National Youth Organiser articulated.
“We will reintegrate everyone. One of the proposals I plan to support is to formalize these groups within the party — to create a security unit that offers protection from the national level down to the constituency level. There are certain things I cannot disclose publicly,” he added.
