Accra: Tensions flared on Accra-based Amansan Television (ATV) during its morning current affairs programme when communicators from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) engaged in a physical confrontation on live TV. The exchange occurred during a discussion on Ghana's IMF bailout, creating a chaotic scene that unfolded in front of viewers.
According to Ghana Web, the altercation was shared by SIKA OFFICIAL on July 29, 2026, and showed the panellists in a heated argument as the host attempted to restore order. The discussion quickly turned into a confrontation when one of the panellists warned his counterpart, 'Osman, be very careful,' before hitting him.
The situation escalated as the other panellist retaliated, leading to both exchanging blows until the programme was abruptly taken off air. The incident has since triggered a widespread online debate, with many X users criticizing the conduct of the politicians involved.
