Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has requested of all New Patriotic Party(NPP) flagbearer hopefuls to be committed to ensuring that the party goes to the polls with a united front.
The Vice President, during a campaign tour at Kumasi in the Ashanti Region, also described the contest as a “family contest.”
According to Dr. Bawumia, all the other nine aspirants are from the same ancestral root, the UP tradition, hence the need for followers of all contenders to refrain from making verbal attacks, either directly or indirectly, on other aspirants seeking to lead the party as flagbearers to the next general elections.

Dr. Bawumia pointed out the difficult task ahead of the party going into the 2024 polls, hence the need to run a clean campaign.
“As a family, all factions must recognize that a united front is necessary to confront the NDC,” Dr. Bawumia stated in Kumasi during a campaign tour to party delegates. I have instructed all my supporters and spokespersons that we must conduct a clean campaign, avoiding any form of insults.”
Dr. Bawumia also emphasized that unity is key, and that once the contest concludes, they will come together as a cohesive force to ensure that the NDC does not regain power.
