Pressure group Democracy Hub has dismissed claims that the #FixTheCountry movement is politically motivated, insisting that the frustrations driving the protests are shared by Ghanaians across political divides.
In a public statement dated May 7, 2026, the group described suggestions that the movement had become partisan because some individuals associated with past protests later joined government as “intellectually dishonest.”
According to the statement, the movement’s objectives have always been centred on demanding accountability, improved governance and better living conditions for citizens, rather than advancing the interests of any political party.
“The narrative that one individual’s career choice invalidates the collective grievances of hundreds of thousands of Ghanaians is intellectually dishonest,” the statement said.
The group stressed that #FixTheCountry does not police the political affiliations of citizens who participate in protests, arguing that the hardships facing the country affect people regardless of political background.
“It does not mean, and has never meant, that we police the political affiliations of those who show up at our protests. When systems fail, the hardship does not discriminate,” the statement added.
Democracy Hub further rejected assertions that the movement was linked to a single political tradition, citing the participation of individuals from different political backgrounds in previous demonstrations.
The group mentioned figures such as Ewurabena Aubynn, Oliver Barker-Vormawor and other activists with varying political affiliations as examples of the diversity within the movement.
According to the statement, reducing the protests to partisan politics ignores the genuine economic struggles, frustrations and grievances that continue to affect many Ghanaians.
The group maintained that it would continue to organise demonstrations over governance and economic concerns, adding that plans were underway for another protest in September 2025 over issues relating to illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey.
Democracy Hub also called on government to release the unabridged version of the Constitutional Review Committee (CRC) report.
