The call for tolerance and mutual respect within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) was reiterated by Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the party’s 2024 flagbearer, during the NPP’s thank-you tour in the Savannah Region. Dr Bawumia highlighted the damaging impact of internal conflicts and divisive rhetoric on the party’s image and electoral success.
He pointed out that during the 2024 elections, statements made by NPP members against each other, the party, and the government were weaponized by opponents to undermine the NPP’s campaign. This tactic, he emphasized, weakened the party’s position and allowed adversaries to exploit internal divisions for their benefit.
In light of these challenges, Dr Bawumia urged NPP members nationwide to refrain from attacking each other in the media. He stressed the importance of maintaining party unity and solidarity to enhance the NPP’s strength and resilience. Internal cohesion, he noted, is essential for the party’s future success and ability to deliver on its promises to the Ghanaian people.
The former Vice President’s message underscores the significance of constructive dialogue, respectful engagement, and a shared commitment to the NPP’s core values and objectives. By fostering a culture of mutual respect and cooperation, the party can overcome internal obstacles and present a united front to address the country’s pressing challenges.
As we reflect on Dr Bawumia’s call for unity and tolerance within the NPP, it is crucial for members to prioritize the common good and set aside personal differences for the greater benefit of the party and the nation. By upholding these principles, the NPP can strengthen its position as a leading political force in Ghana and uphold its commitment to serving the interests of all citizens.
