The National Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Stephen Ntim, has advised parliamentary aspirants within the party to ensure that their electoral activities do not weaken the party.

In an official statement released on Tuesday, January 23, Mr. Ntim urged the aspirants to embody the party's values of "respectful discourse, healthy competition, and democratic processes."

He emphasised the importance of focusing on campaigning based on ideas and visions rather than engaging in personal animosities.

Mr. Ntim pointed out that the unity and cohesion exhibited during the primaries would significantly influence the outcome of the December 2024 elections.

Concluding his message, he urged the aspirants not to fail the party in demonstrating and upholding the democratic principles integral to the NPP.

“As the National Chairman, I emphasise the importance of conducting a campaign that reflects the core values of the NPP-a campaign characterized by decorum, mutual respect, and a steadfast commitment to non-violence."

"Our party is built on principles, and it is crucial that our internal processes, such as the upcoming primaries, serve as evidence of our commitment to upholding established values of democracy,” he said.

Mr. Ntim also called on the candidates to unite after the elections, stressing the importance of working together for the common good of the party they all aspire to serve.

"The success of our party lies not in bringing each other down, but rather building each other up and united in our common purpose to serve the people of our nation," he added.
