Ghana: Shalimar Abbuisi’s Stand Against Unapproved Political Association.

Shalimar Abbuisi Issues Warning Over Image Use

In a decisive move, Shalimar Abbuisi, the former spokesperson for The New Force, has publicly dissociated herself from the political movement and its related entities. This announcement came with a stern warning against the unauthorized use of her name, image, voice, and personal content.

Formal Cease-and-Desist Notice.

On April 28, 2026, Ms. Abbuisi released a statement indicating that she had become aware of plans by associates of The New Force, the New Africa Foundation, and the New Africa Congress to potentially release new content featuring her likeness. This development persisted despite a formal cease-and-desist notice issued on April 13, 2026, by her legal representatives, Merton & Everett LLP. The notice demanded an immediate halt to the use of her identity and the withdrawal of all materials suggesting her continued affiliation with these groups.

Ms. Abbuisi noted that no response had been received to the legal notice, prompting her to make a public statement to protect her reputation and clarify her stance.

Disassociation from The New Force.

In her statement, Ms. Abbuisi emphasized that she is no longer associated in any capacity with The New Force or its affiliated entities. She made it clear that she does not represent, speak for, or work with any of the organizations or individuals mentioned in her statement.

Furthermore, she highlighted that any previous consent granted for the use of her image, voice, or personal content has been formally revoked. Ms. Abbuisi stressed that her past participation in activities related to the group should not be interpreted as ongoing or indefinite permission.

Warning Against Unauthorised Use.

Ms. Abbuisi issued a strong caution that any continued publication, circulation, or use of materials featuring her likeness by these organizations or their associates would be considered unauthorized. She directed media outlets, bloggers, social media users, and political communicators to refrain from sharing or amplifying such content, warning that doing so could result in legal consequences.

She has instructed her legal team to take necessary steps to protect her rights in the event of further alleged breaches, indicating her readiness to pursue legal remedies if required.

Transition to New Career Phase.

Concluding her statement, Ms. Abbuisi appealed for respect for her privacy and professional independence. She is currently transitioning into a new phase of her career focused on diplomatic engagements and humanitarian work, moving away from her previous political associations. This marks a significant shift as she seeks to establish a new professional identity removed from her past affiliations.
