In a dramatic show of defiance during the 2026 State of the Nation Address (SONA), delivered by President John Dramani Mahama, Minority Members of Parliament (NPP) stormed the chamber, brandishing cocoa pods and wearing black sashes.
The protest, led by Minority Leader Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, targeted President Mahama’s second-term administration following recent cocoa producer price cuts and rising utility costs.
