Independent Presidential Candidate Dr. Sam Ankrah has debunked false claims of intellectual property misappropriation amid allegations from a group accusing him of unauthorized use of their campaign items.
The controversy stems from a political marketing strategy involving masked individuals presenting themselves as the next political force in Ghana, generating widespread media attention. A viral communication featured Dr. Sam Ankrah with the same mask, sparking accusations of copyright infringement and threats of legal action.

Dr. Sam Ankrah emphasized his commitment to the “No Masked Promises” initiative, clarifying that it aims for transparency and accountability in leadership rather than infringing on intellectual property rights.
Addressing the legal threats, the Independent Presidential Candidate argued that expressing views on Ghanaian politics and launching counter-campaigns are within his rights. He described these actions as essential components of the democratic process.
Dr. Sam Ankrah affirmed that the “No Masked Promises” campaign stands as a call for accountability, a principle he believes all political movements should support.
He categorically rejected the unfounded claims and maintained his dedication to fostering transparent leadership in the nation.
