Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has adopted a different strategy for the approaching NPP internal elections.
During his travels across the nation, he has opted to promote his ideals and highlight the accomplishments of the NPP government rather than engaging in personal attacks against his rivals.
Speaking to NPP delegates in Asutifi, a district in the Ahafo Region, Dr. Bawumia underlined the value of party unity and the need to concentrate on the overarching goal of progress for the country.
“I firmly believe that our internal contests should be based on ideas, policies, and the track record of our government,” Dr. Bawumia stated. “We are all members of the same party, working towards the same goal of improving the lives of Ghanaians. Attacking each other will only distract us from achieving that goal.”
“I don’t believe in attacking my opponents and I won’t do that because it will be toxic and won’t be good for our party,” Dr. Bawumia said.
“This is an internal contest to elect our flagbearer, so why should I attack my opponents or say something against our party? I am running a very decent campaign. I am selling my ideas to delegates and I do that with decorum, with humility, with respect and without mentioning anybody’s name.”
Dr. Bawumia’s strategy differs from internal party elections, which are typically contentious and marked by candidates’ mudslinging and personal assaults. Instead, he seeks to promote a climate of constructive competition where ideas are prioritized and delegates can reach merit-based decisions.
“This should be a contest of ideas not insults. So I have told all my staff not to insults or attack anyone. They should stick to sharing my vision and message to delegates. I have told them that even if I am attacked or insulted, they, should not respond because I am a unifier.”
