Former Vice President and 2024 New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has called on members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to put an immediate end to internal squabbles and tribal politics, warning that such divisions only weaken the party’s chances at the 2028 elections.

Speaking after filing his nomination to contest the party’s flagbearer position, Dr Bawumia urged the rank and file of the NPP to unite sincerely behind a common vision.

“To win 2028, we must not just talk unity; we must live it. The repeated attacks by our own party folk on one another are absolutely unhelpful,” he stressed.

He warned that divisive rhetoric only plays into the hands of the opposition. “What we say against each other is exactly what the NDC will use against us in 2028. If you claim to be a true patriot, then stop it. Don’t lecture us about how blue your blood is—let your actions show,” Dr Bawumia said.

He further cautioned against the use of tribal and religious sentiments in internal contests, noting that the NPP’s strength lies in its diversity.

“Stop the internal attacks now. Stop the religious and tribal attacks now. We must stand together as one party with one purpose if we want to secure victory in 2028,” he added.
