As the competition for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearership heats up, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has emphasized the value of a civil and polite campaign.
Dr. Bawumia stated that the party must unite as a coherent force as soon as the election is over to prevent the National Democratic Congress (NDC) from retaking power.
He maintains that the internal competition shouldn’t be contentious because of this.
Dr. Bawumia said he has advised his supporters and spokespersons not to reply to candidates who insult him when speaking to party members in the Ashanti Region.
Dr. Bawumia emphasized that it is vital for the entire family to understand that facing the NDC, the “main enemy,” requires a unified front.
“I have instructed all my supporters and spokespersons that we must conduct a clean campaign, avoiding any form of insults.
“We are one family, and we must remain united. Once the contest concludes, we will come together as a cohesive force to ensure the NDC does not return to power.”
On Saturday, November 4, the NPP will choose its standard bearer for the elections of 2024.
All ten flagbearer candidates have received approval to participate in the next elections, and a special congress is set on Saturday, August 26, to reduce the field to five.
In a press statement that was released on July 12th, all of the qualifying candidates were approved.
The Prof. Mike Oquaye Vetting Committee accepted all 10 applicants after carefully examining each one, according to the press release.
According to Justin Kodua Frimpong, the party’s general secretary, the Committee disclosed this in its report in accordance with Article 10(3) of the NPP Constitution.
