Samuel Abu Jinapor, Member of Parliament for Damongo and a member of former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign team, has urged the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to ensure peace, fairness, and discipline ahead of its presidential primary on Saturday, January 31.
Speaking on Accra-based Channel One TV, Mr. Jinapor said the conduct of the primary would play a critical role in shaping the party’s future direction.
He stressed that the actions of members, delegates, and officials on the day would either help rebuild the party or deepen existing divisions.
According to him, a transparent and well-organised process would demonstrate the party’s readiness to regroup and compete effectively in future elections.
“How the NPP conducts itself on Saturday, January 31, will have far-reaching implications for the fortunes and forward march of the party,” he said.
Mr. Jinapor added that credibility and calm during the exercise would help restore confidence both within the party and among the general public.
“If we can conduct a peaceful, fair, orderly, and decorous election, that will be a major step towards the revival of the NPP,” he stated.
He appealed to party supporters and stakeholders to put the collective interest of the NPP ahead of personal ambitions, noting that unity after the primary would be crucial for the party’s long-term recovery and electoral success.
The NPP is set to elect its flagbearer for the 2028 general elections in what is expected to be a closely contested race. Aspirants include former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, former Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong, Abetifi MP Dr. Bryan Acheampong, former Education Minister Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, and former NPP General Secretary Ing. Kwabena Agyepong.
