The 2024 flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has reiterated his call for tolerance and mutual respect among members of the party.

Addressing party stakeholders in the Savannah Region during the NPP’s thank-you tour on Saturday, Dr Bawumia stated that some of the most damaging weapons used against the NPP have been the utterances of its own members. 

He emphasised that such comments are often exploited by opponents to weaken the party’s image and electoral fortunes.

“During the 2024 elections, our own utterances against each other, the party, and our government were used against us. In fact, our opponents sponsored adverts in the media using statements made by our own members during the campaign,” Dr Bawumia said.

The former Vice President strongly urged party members across the country to desist from attacking fellow NPP members in the media. 

He noted that such conduct undermines party unity and weakens its overall strength, stressing that preserving internal cohesion is vital for the NPP’s future success.
