Aspiring National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu, has issued an appeal for decorum, unity, and peaceful conduct as the party gears up for its presidential primaries this Saturday, January 31.

In a statement released, Boadu urged all aspirants, delegates, and party supporters to ensure the internal election process upholds the party’s core values.

"The presidential primaries present an important moment in our party’s democratic journey," Boadu stated. "It is a process that must reflect our long-held values of discipline, fairness, unity and respect for the rule of law."

The primaries, scheduled for January 31, will see the party select its flagbearer for the 2028 general elections.

The contest features former Vice President and 2024 presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia; former Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong; former Minister for Education, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum; former Minister for Food and Agriculture, Dr Bryan Acheampong; and former General Secretary of the party, Kwabena Agyepong.

In all, 211,849 delegates are expected to cast their ballots at 333 polling centres located across the country’s 276 constituencies.

Boadu specifically called on delegates to vote responsibly, guided by "the supreme interest of the NPP and the collective aspiration of Ghanaians for competent, principled and visionary leadership."

He also directly addressed party supporters, appealing for calm and vigilance while rejecting any acts of violence or intimidation that could mar the credibility of the exercise.

"A peaceful, transparent, and credible election will strengthen our party and position us firmly for the task ahead," he emphasised.

He stressed the need for unity regardless of the outcome, highlighting that the party’s ultimate goal is to "secure victory in the 2028 General Elections."
