A Deputy National Communications Director of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), has encouraged all aspiring MPs to focus their campaigns on substantial matters before the January 27, elections.

George Krobea Asante underlined the significance of preserving party cohesion during the campaign and cautioned against character assassination, personal assaults and unfounded allegations.

He stated that all of these could be used against the party in the general elections.

"This is an internal party exercise, and whatever we say about the other will be used against the party in the general elections. Therefore, I am entreating all to be measured and circumspect with our public pronouncements," he said.

In a congratulatory message, Krobea Asante stated how much he appreciated the party leadership and the candidates for a smooth, transparent, incident-free, and peaceful vetting process.

"How the entire process was conducted and managed was excellent and highly commendable, and we must applaud the leadership," he said.

On Friday, January 5, 2024, after three days of vetting, the NPP concluded its process. The party scheduled the primaries for January 27, 2024.

The final round of internal elections leading up to the December 7, 2024, general election will take place with these primaries.
