Former Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has cautioned members of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) against allowing tribalism and religious bigotry to undermine the unity and progress of the party.

Speaking at the NPP’s National Delegates Conference in Accra on Saturday, Dr Bawumia emphasised that such divisive tendencies have no place in a party striving to regain power.

"Let me say tribalism and religious bigotry from whichever quarters they emanate pose an existential threat and should have no place in the NPP."

His address centred on a renewed call for unity and collective commitment towards the party’s rebuilding process as it looks ahead to the 2028 general elections.

Dr Bawumia noted that the party’s ability to recover from its 2024 electoral defeat depends largely on solidarity, discipline, and a focus on common goals.

"An army that wants to win a battle must exercise discipline within its ranks," he stressed.

He urged party faithful to rise above internal divisions, reaffirm their dedication to party ideals, and work together to restore the confidence of the Ghanaian electorate.
