Former Manso Adubia Constituency Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr Akwasi Abu, has called on aspirants, delegates and supporters of the party to ensure a peaceful, free and fair national election.
The NPP is scheduled to hold its national election in Kumasi on Saturday, October 3, 2026, to elect national executives who will lead the party in the coming years.
Mr Akwasi Abu urged all aspirants and their supporters to put aside their differences, avoid actions that could create tension and work together to strengthen the party.
He said the election should be conducted in an atmosphere of peace, tolerance and mutual respect, stressing that party members must prioritise the collective interest of the NPP over individual ambitions.
According to him, there was no justification for hooliganism, intimidation or any other conduct that could disrupt the electoral process.
He therefore appealed to all aspirants and delegates to exercise restraint and ensure that the election was conducted in a peaceful and orderly manner.
Mr Abu also urged the aspirants to avoid campaign insults, personal attacks and inflammatory remarks that could create divisions among party members.
He cautioned aspirants against allegedly offering money or other inducements to individuals to influence the electoral process, saying such actions could undermine the credibility of the election.
“We want a peaceful election, and I urge all the aspirants and delegates to conduct themselves responsibly and avoid anything that can create confusion,” he said.
Mr Abu further called on the organisers and stakeholders to ensure that the election remained transparent, free and fair, while allowing delegates to exercise their right to vote without intimidation.
He urged delegates to carefully consider the competence, commitment and ability of the various aspirants before casting their ballots.
According to him, the party needs dedicated leaders who will work diligently to strengthen its structures, unite members and serve the interests of the NPP.
Mr Abu said he expected the successful aspirants to demonstrate commitment to the party and deliver dedicated service to its members.
He also appealed to unsuccessful aspirants and their supporters to accept the outcome of the election and support the elected executives for the sake of party unity.
He stressed the need for all members to bury their differences after the election and work collectively to strengthen the party ahead of the 2028 general elections.
Mr Abu said a peaceful and credible election would provide the foundation for greater unity and cooperation among party members as the NPP prepares for the next electoral cycle.
He therefore urged all delegates, aspirants and supporters to make the national election a demonstration of the party’s commitment to democratic principles, tolerance and peaceful political participation.
