The Member of Parliament for Okaikwei Central, Patrick Yaw Boamah, has criticised minority MPs and party executives who openly declare support for candidates in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential primaries.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr. Boamah said such conduct undermines party cohesion and the discipline the leadership is working to strengthen.
“I am a member of the disciplinary committee, and some of the cases we are handling involve referrals and petitions. How can I, as a member of the committee, openly campaign for a candidate? It doesn’t show leadership,” he said.
He observed that even when the party issues directives, some officers fail to comply, making it difficult to maintain discipline.
According to him, public declarations of support create unnecessary divisions within the party.
“It doesn’t sit well with the unity and discipline we are trying to build. Everyone has their preference, but leaders need to be very careful; the internet does not forget,” he cautioned.
Mr. Boamah urged MPs and party executives to be mindful of their public utterances during the flagbearer campaign, stressing that his priority is safeguarding unity within the party.
“In my constituency, anyone is free to support whoever they want to, but I am very careful about party unity,” he added.
