Former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has admonished members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to put a stop to the internal attacks on members of the party and rather focus their attention on the ills of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He stated that the party must shift its focus in holding the NDC accountable, which he said is undermining the country’s democracy.
He lamented that the internal attacks were unhealthy and a dangerous trend that will, in the long run, affect the party.
Addressing party delegates at the 2025 NPP National Delegates Conference in Accra, Dr Bawumia said, “An army that wants to win a battle must exercise discipline within its ranks.
“Too often, when we are yet to choose leaders, indiscipline, unacceptable language, and unpardonable behaviour become the order of the day. In the end, when internal competitions are over, the attacks we would have launched on ourselves become the fodder and ammunition with which our opponents will attack us.”
He added, “We experienced it in the 2024 campaign, and we should not let it happen again a second time. That is why I call on all kukrudites to “Stop the internal attacks now.”
He continued, “Let us rather focus on the attempt by the NDC to undermine our democracy and the rule of law in trying to remove the Chief Justice. Let us focus on their clear intention to go after the Electoral Commissioner subsequently.”
“Let us focus on the violence and thuggery their hoodlums carried out in the recent Ablekuma election in the full view of the police and cameras.”
“I again call on the President to bring the perpetrators to book and to remind them that the elephant never forgets. No matter how long it takes, we will prosecute the perpetrators when we assume office in 2029, insha Allah.”
“To the leadership of the party, I ask that you be firm and crack the whip so that discipline is maintained within our ranks. It is with discipline, humility, lessons learnt and pursuit of the common good for Ghana that we can become the refreshed party we desire,” he concluded.
