Following the NDC’s victory in the Akwatia by-election, political activist Dzifa Gunu says the results reflect a changing political culture in Ghana, where voters increasingly demand respect, transparency, and genuine engagement from political parties. Speaking after the polls on his Facebook page sighted by Lovinghananews.com , Gunu highlighted a significant departure from Ghana’s by-election tradition — the absence of the President and Vice President from the campaign grounds. “For the first time in the history of parliamentary by-elections, neither the president nor the vice president of the ruling party stepped foot in the constituency to influence the election. The NDC…
Anthropic, which operates the Claude artificial intelligence app, has agreed to pay $1.5 billion to settle a class-action lawsuit by book authors who alleged the company took pirated copies of their works to train its chatbot.

A trio of authors — thriller novelist Andrea Bartz and nonfiction writers Charles Graeber and Kirk Wallace Johnson — sued last year, and now represent a broader group of writers and publishers whose books Anthropic downloaded to train its chatbot Claude. The landmark settlement…

Meanwhile, the Northern Regional…

According to the research, the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) boasts more young people and better-educated individuals serving as branch executives compared to the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP). The data shared paints a revealing picture of the demographic and educational profile of delegates within the two major political parties. For instance, while the NPP has a significant number of its branch executives with Junior…
There is no doubt that many Ghanaians stand with the Communications Minister, Sam George, in this unending tussle with Multichoice Limited, operators of DSTV. But I’m wondering whether the law, too, is on the side of the minister. Long before this tussle, I’d heard Ghanaians complain and compare the prices of DSTV subscriptions. Some Ghanaians, thanks to a loophole in DSTV’s system—and perhaps the NCA regulations—subscribe and pay for DSTV from Nigeria, which is cheaper than DSTV’s subscription prices in Ghana. It is for this reason that Ghanaian subscribers overwhelmingly support the call for price reduction. In this piece, however,…
In one of the most staggering mineral discoveries of our time, Uganda has uncovered over 31 million metric tonnes of gold ore, with more than 320,000 tonnes of refined gold waiting to be extracted. This gold bonanza estimated to be worth over $12 trillion could elevate Uganda into the elite league of global gold producers. If managed effectively, it could revolutionize the country’s economy, drive massive foreign investment, and disrupt the balance of international gold markets. With the right infrastructure, partnerships, and sustainable practices, Uganda’s mining industry may usher in a new era of prosperity and geopolitical influence. The world…
