NPP Abanga Breaks Ranks to Shield NDC Twin Brother in ‘Galamsey’ Accusations


In a rare display of family loyalty crossing political lines, a leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Abanga, has come under scrutiny for defending his twin brother, who is a member of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), amid allegations of involvement in illegal mining activities, popularly known as galamsey.


The NPP figure, whose identity has become a focal point in the ongoing debate around illegal mining and political accountability, is reported to have publicly shielded his brother following reports linking him to a suspected galamsey operation in the Northern Region.


According to sources close to the matter, Mr. Abanga questioned the credibility of the evidence against his brother and challenged the media and political actors to avoid politicizing the issue. His comments have sparked outrage within his party, with some accusing him of putting family above national interest.


This is a betrayal of our collective fight against galamsey,a senior NPP official said anonymously. No matter the relationship, we must all stand firm when the law is being broken.


The NDC has remained relatively quiet on the matter, but insiders suggest the party is watching developments closely, given the sensitivity of the accusations and the familial connection between the two politicians.


The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other investigative bodies have been tasked to probe the case thoroughly. If found guilty, the NDC twin brother could face criminal charges, adding further tension to an already polarized political atmosphere.


Mr. Abanga’s actions have triggered a national conversation about the limits of family loyalty in public office and whether political leaders can remain impartial when their relatives are implicated in wrongdoing.


As investigations continue, the public awaits further clarification from both parties and law enforcement agencies on the next steps.
