Former Vice President and 2024 NPP flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has urged his fellow aspirants in the party’s flagbearership race to focus on holding the NDC government accountable instead of attacking one another.
Speaking to a crowd of party faithful after filing his nomination to contest, Dr. Bawumia emphasized the need for unity within the NPP ahead of the 2028 elections.
“What the NPP and Ghana need is a strong party that can hold the government accountable for its promises. I have always done that, and I will continue to do so as flagbearer,” he said, highlighting his consistent record of challenging the NDC on policy delivery.
He cautioned against internal attacks, insisting such conduct only weakens the party.
“For the various candidates contesting for flagbearership, I ask: wouldn’t Ghana and the NPP be better off if, instead of focusing your guns on me, you focused on holding the Government accountable, showing that you can lead the NPP in doing so? Wouldn’t Ghana and the NPP be better off if, instead of attacking each other, you focused on presenting a vision for the Party and the Country?” he queried.
Dr. Bawumia further underscored the importance of party cohesion, noting that the NPP’s real opponent is external, not internal.
“Our true opponent is not within. Our true opponent is out there! We need unity to win. I promise you that, just as you have known me, I would not do anything to bring division or conflict within the party. If there were anyone to create problems in the NPP, it would not be me,” he assured.
