As the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) flagbearership race intensifies, Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has emphasized the significance of conducting a clean and respectful campaign. He urged all candidates and their supporters to refrain from engaging in acrimonious behaviour during the internal election process.
Speaking to party supporters in the Ashanti Region, Dr Bawumia stressed the importance of maintaining unity within the party after the contest is concluded. He emphasized that, regardless of the outcome, all factions must come together as a cohesive force to ensure the National Democratic Congress (NDC) does not return to power.
To foster a harmonious campaign, the Vice President disclosed that he has instructed his supporters and spokespersons not to respond to attacks from other aspirants. He believes that as a family, all members must recognize the need for a united front in facing their common opponent, which is the NDC.
“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.”
The NPP is scheduled to elect its flagbearer for the 2024 elections on November 4. As of now, all ten flagbearer hopefuls have been cleared to participate in the upcoming elections.
A Super Delegates Conference is scheduled for next month to whittle down the number of contestants to 5.
