Former Information Minister and Member of Parliament for Ofoase-Ayirebi, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has appealed to members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to conduct their internal campaigns with decorum as the party prepares for its upcoming flagbearer election.
Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr. Oppong Nkrumah stressed the need for mutual respect among party faithful during the internal contest to ensure unity after the elections.
“We have come to a point where there will be internal competition. I want to plead that all the candidates are party people, so we should be mindful of our words and how we campaign,” he said.
He warned that insults and personal attacks could damage the party’s cohesion, making post-election reconciliation difficult.
“Let us air our views respectfully. If we destroy one another now, it will be hard to come together after the elections,” he cautioned.
The former Minister also highlighted the disparity in energy and resources often spent on internal contests versus general elections, urging members to focus on unity and purpose.
“We are electing our flagbearer. Let’s do it in harmony so that whoever is elected, we can all rally behind that person. Let’s stay united and civil for the sake of our victory,” he added.
The NPP is expected to hold its presidential primaries on January 31, 2026.
