SHOCKER: Thomas Partey Barred from Canada Ahead of World Cup Opener

Ghana Today News, June 13, 2026 – Ghana's World Cup dreams have hit a massive roadblock before a ball has even been kicked. Midfield general Thomas Partey has been sensationally denied entry into Canada, meaning he is officially out of the Black Stars' opening clash against Panama in Toronto this June 17.

The bombshell was first dropped by Dan Sheldon of The Athletic and quickly confirmed by BBC Sport. The 32-year-old former Arsenal star is currently stuck at the team's base camp in Boston, unable to cross the border. The reason? Canadian authorities have reportedly blocked his entry over sexual assault allegations. It is important to emphasize that Partey has not been convicted of any crime, but the legal red tape is proving insurmountable for this high-stakes fixture.

Losing Partey is a bitter pill for Ghana to swallow. At 32, his experience and steel in the middle of the park were expected to be the heartbeat of the team. Now, the coaching staff faces a frantic scramble to fill a Partey-sized hole in the starting lineup just days before the Panama showdown.

This isn't just a personnel change; it's a test of Ghana's depth and mental toughness. If the Black Stars want to make a deep run in 2026, they'll have to find a way to win without their most seasoned leader.

Ghana Says Goodbye to Styrofoam: Nationwide Ban Kicks Off 2027!

Ghana Today News, May 25, 2026 – The era of Styrofoam in Ghana is officially coming to an end. The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) has announced a sweeping nationwide ban on the production, importation, distribution, sale, and use of polystyrene foam products — popularly known as "Styrofoam" or "Takeaway Packs." The ban takes full effect on January 1, 2027.

This is not a suggestion; it's a directive. From food packaging containers and takeaway packs to disposable cups, plates, and foam packs used by restaurants and food vendors — all of it is being shown the door. The EPA has made it clear: Ghana is done with Styrofoam.

For the thousands of food vendors, chop bar operators, and restaurants that rely heavily on these products daily, this is a game-changer. The EPA says it is rolling out a transition plan to help businesses adjust and find sustainable alternatives before the deadline hits. That gives the industry roughly seven months to pivot.

The move is part of Ghana's broader push to tackle plastic pollution and environmental degradation. Styrofoam, which takes hundreds of years to decompose, has long been a menace to Ghana's drains, waterways, and landscapes. With this ban, the EPA is sending a clear signal — the health of our environment is no longer negotiable. The countdown to a cleaner Ghana has officially begun.

Nduom Vows 'Better Bank' After GN Savings & Loans License Restored!

Ghana Today News, May 21, 2026 – In a stunning turn of events that has sent ripples through Ghana's financial sector, Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom, the Global President of Groupe Nduom, has declared his unwavering commitment to building an even more robust and impactful bank than the one controversially shut down years ago. This bold declaration comes on the heels of a landmark Court of Appeal ruling that has ordered the Bank of Ghana to reinstate the operating license of GN Savings and Loans.

The ruling marks a significant victory for Groupe Nduom, whose GN Bank was among several financial institutions that had their licenses revoked during the nation's extensive banking sector cleanup. Dr. Nduom, speaking passionately outside the courts after the verdict, expressed optimism about the future. "We are in a very good political environment," he stated, emphasizing the group's readiness to play its part once their licenses are fully restored.

Groupe Nduom has already initiated the necessary steps to recover its banking license, signaling a determined effort to revive operations and once again serve communities across Ghana. The original collapse of GN Bank left many customers and stakeholders in limbo, making this latest development a beacon of hope for its potential return.

This development not only vindicates Groupe Nduom but also sets the stage for a potential shake-up in the financial landscape. The question now is not just if GN Savings and Loans will return, but how quickly and how significantly it will re-establish its presence, promising a new chapter for the institution and its patrons.

Zanetor Rawlings Soars: Klottey Korle MP Elected 2nd VP of Pan-African Parliament!

Ghana Today News, May 1, 2026

History was made in Johannesburg yesterday as Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, the Member of Parliament for Klottey Korle, clinched the position of Second Vice President of the Pan-African Parliament (PAP). In a high-stakes election held on April 30, 2026, continental lawmakers gathered in South Africa to select a new five-member PAP Bureau, and Ghana's very own emerged as a standout victor.

This wasn't just another vote; it was a historic win for the West African Caucus. Dr. Agyeman-Rawlings, the daughter of the legendary late former President Jerry John Rawlings, secured her seat at the table through a decisive vote among her peers. She brings both a medical background and a fierce political pedigree to a role that demands sharp diplomacy and a heart for the continent.

Dr. Agyeman-Rawlings has long been a force to reckon with in the Klottey Korle constituency, and now, she takes that same energy to the continental stage. This victory is a massive win for Ghana, signaling that our nation remains a heavyweight in African governance and a leading voice in shaping the future of the continent. Ghana is back at the center of the conversation, and Zanetor is leading the charge.
