A former Eastern Regional Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), David Prah, has called on party supporters to prioritise issue-based campaigning and avoid personal attacks as the party prepares for its flagbearer primaries ahead of the 2028 general elections.

Speaking on Burning Issues on Adom FM, hosted by Akua Boakyewaa Yiadom, Mr Prah emphasised the dangers of tribal and ethnic politics, cautioning that such divisive tactics could undermine the NPP's unity and electoral fortunes.

“After the contest, the party will have to campaign for one candidate who emerges as the flagbearer, and if supporters continue with insults, tribalism, and ethnic campaigning, it will be difficult to market that candidate to win power in 2028,” he warned.

Mr Prah, a former Deputy Director of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), threw his support behind Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, describing him as a transformational leader with the potential to unite the party and lead Ghana into a new era of development.

“Even though Dr Bawumia, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, Dr Bryan Acheampong, and Kennedy Agyapong are all qualified to lead the NPP, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum stands tall among them. He is a unifier, hardworking, connected to the grassroots of the party, and has innovative ideas that can help turn the fortunes of this country around,” he stated.

He also highlighted Dr Adutwum’s performance as Education Minister, which he believes has earned him widespread admiration from Ghanaians calling for him to lead the nation.

“The world is moving at a fast pace, and we cannot continue doing things the same way. We need someone like Dr Adutwum as President to bring his innovative ideas to bear for the benefit of the citizenry,” Mr Prah concluded.
