Former Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has urged members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to curb incessant internal attacks on members of the party and rather focus their attention on the ills of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), which he said is undermining the country's democracy.

Addressing party delegates at the 2025 NPP National Delegates Conference in Accra, Dr. Bawumia bemoaned the increasing internal attacks, which he said, often characterise the party whenever it is about to choose its leaders, and hands over arsenal to the NPP's main opponent.

"An army that wants to win a battle must exercise discipline within its ranks," Dr. Bawumia said.

"Too often, when we are yet to choose leaders, indiscipline, unacceptable language, and unpardonable behavior become the order of the day. In the end, when internal competitions are over, the attacks we would have launched on ourselves become the fodder and ammunition with which our opponents will attack us."

"We experienced it in the 2024 campaign, and we should not let it happen again a second time. That is why I call on all kukrudites to “Stop the internal attacks now."

Dr. Bawunia called for the energy to be channeled to expose the governing NDC on their many acts, which he condemned.

"Let us rather focus on the attempt by the NDC to undermine our democracy and the rule of law in trying to remove the Chief Justice. Let us focus on their clear intention to go after the Electoral Commissioner subsequently."

"Let us focus on the violence and thuggery their hoodlums carried out in the recent Ablekuma election in the full view of the police and cameras."

"I again call on the President to bring the perpetrators to book and to remind them that the elephant never forgets. No matter how long it takes, we will prosecute the perpetrators when we assume office in 2029, insha Allah."  

"To the leadership of the party, I ask that you be firm and crack the whip so that discipline is maintained within our ranks. It is with discipline, humility, lessons learnt and pursuit of the common good for Ghana that we can become the refreshed party we desire."
