The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has voiced his strong commitment to a peaceful and orderly 2024 general election.

According to him, no Ghanaian life should be sacrificed for political gain.

Addressing journalists in Accra on Sunday, Dr Bawumia underscored the importance of safeguarding the wellbeing of citizens throughout the election period.

He urged all political parties to refrain from using inflammatory language that could incite violence, instead focusing on constructive dialogue and issue-based campaigning.

"Let me state my firm commitment to free, fair, and peaceful elections in December. The quest for political power should not be an end in itself but should be driven by the desire to transform lives and make Ghana a better place for all," he declared.

He expressed concern over the rising use of incendiary rhetoric by some political figures, who, he noted, appear to threaten unrest if the election results do not favour them.

"It is becoming increasingly worrying that some people have gained notoriety for using inflammatory language, threatening fire and brimstone if the mandate to rule is given to a group other than theirs," he said.

Dr Bawumia made it clear that violence and chaos serve no one, reiterating his stance that "not a single drop of Ghanaian blood should be sacrificed for power."

He pledged that the NPP would focus on demonstrating the superiority of their ideas over those of other parties, committing to an issue-based campaign that highlights their vision for the nation’s future.

"Our party is determined to pitch our ideas as we have always done and to demonstrate our superiority over any and above any other party can offer. I pledge, and so does the NPP, to campaign on ideas and conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of a democratic group," he promised.
