The Director-General of the National Lotteries Authority (NLA), Sammi Awuku has asked the supporters of the presidential candidate aspirants to not use inflammatory words against themselves.

According to the former National Organiser of the party, the focus of the party faithful should be uniting the party.

In a Facebook on Wednesday, Mr Awuku said the interest of the party should supersede all other Interests.

"Instead, this is a time to reach out to each and every one to make the 2024 campaign and election victory a possibility."

"To all the supporters of the candidates who couldn’t make it to the top 5 and supporters of aspirants who made it to the top 5, please let’s come together.

"Let’s solve our problems together and once again position the NPP still as the party of choice ahead of the 2024 General Elections to deliver economic prosperity for our nation, Ghana."

Mr Awuku also urged supporters of Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to reach out to their fellows on the other side.

"To Team Bawumia, this is definitely not the time for us to make it 'us vs others' in our party or a time to pass uncomplimentary remarks to aggravate wounds as Dr Bawumia has admonished us his campaigners."

His rebuke follows the withdrawal of the former Minister for Trades and Industry, Alan Kwakwo Kyerematen from the primaries.

Alan Kyerematen on Tuesday announced his withdrawal from the NPP’s flagbearer race citing several reasons.

He mentioned intimidation, and violence against a member of his campaign team and claimed that the party strategically organised the super delegates conference to favour one candidate over the others as some of the reasons for his decision.

Mr Kyerematen stated that pronouncements made by some leading members of the party before and after the elections lend weight to his observations.

“After having carefully analysed the results of the said elections, it is absolutely clear to me from events leading to, during and after the elections, that the Special Delegates Conference was strategically and tactically skewed in favour of one particular aspirant.”

“The level of intimidation of varying intensity, directly and indirectly, unleashed on a significant number of Delegates at various Voting Centers across the sixteen regions, is unprecedented in the history of our Party,” parts of the statement read.

Subsequently, the UTAG-UG President has advised the party to immediately address his concerns to curb any unforeseen issues of disunity.
