• Emblems page of the NPP (New Patriotic Party) and eight other emblems (click on any to get a bigger image). I would not be surprised if at least 4 of them are used as flags, especially at election time.

New Patriotic Party

N.P.P. the most voted party in the Presidential Elections in Ghana with Mr. John Agyekum Kufuor as presidential candidate. The New Patriotic Party was founded in 1992 and has for its symbol the elephant in a red, white and blue background, which are the colours of the Party. The results now are 99 for NPP to 92 for NDC (National Democratic Congress) the former ruling party.

Red protest flags

Railway workersʼ

Workers of the Ghana Railway Company (GRC) throughout the country have started flying red-flags at all installations of the company as a sign of their threat to withdraw their services and also embark upon massive street demonstration to protest against the delay in the adjustment of the tariff paid by the Ghana Bauxite Company (GBC) which they consider as meagre.

New flag proposal

Emmanuel Enoch Agbozo, Head Pastor of the Ghana Evangelical Society advised the president to change the flag of the country since «its spiritual power is gone forever». A new flag, white with a cross and a crown of thorn covering the cross, would mark the beginning of a new Ghana, founded in God, and move the nation to its former glory.
