The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has urged all its presidential aspirants to prioritise unity and collaboration, stressing that winning the party’s flagbearer contest is only the first step toward victory in the 2028 general elections.
Speaking at the peace pact signing ahead of the January 31, 2026, primaries, General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong highlighted the importance of collective support.
“Please, all of you should understand that none of you alone, even if you win, can secure our victory in 2028. You will need the support of your brothers to achieve success,” he said.
Mr Frimpong added that the primaries are not just a contest to measure internal support but a platform to strengthen the party ahead of the national elections. He assured aspirants that the party administration would facilitate reconciliation and collaboration after the primaries.
“As administrator of the party, I can assure you that every support needed during and after the elections to bring everybody on board will be provided. We are fully prepared to rally together and fight for victory in 2028,” he said.
The peace pact, signed by all NPP flagbearer hopefuls, is part of the party’s efforts to maintain cohesion and prevent internal disputes from affecting its performance. Political analysts note that such agreements are crucial for unity, especially in parties with competitive internal contests.
The NPP’s presidential primary on January 31 will determine the party’s candidate for the 2028 general elections, and early reconciliation among aspirants is seen as vital to strengthening the party’s prospects at the national level.
