Ahead Of NPP Presidential Primaries: NPP GERMANY Calls For Decorum As The NPP Nears A Defining Moment
In less than 6 days, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will climax one of the most consequential chapters in its recent history—the selection of a presidential candidate to lead the party into the 2028 general elections.
On Saturday, January 31, 2026, the eyes of party faithful and the wider Ghanaian public will be firmly fixed on the NPP to choose either Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Bryan Acheampong, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum or Kwabena Agyei Agyepong.
At the heart of this moment are five presidential aspirants, each distinguished in their own right, each convinced of their capacity to lead, and each drawing support from different strands of the party’s rich political tradition. Competition among them is expected, healthy, and democratic.
Yet, as the primaries draw closer, it is increasingly important to remind all aspirants that how this contest is fought will matter just as much as who eventually wins it.
Power sought without restraint, discipline, and respect risks weakening the very foundation upon which victory must later stand.
Political history, both within Ghana and beyond, teaches a simple lesson: parties that emerge fractured from internal contests often struggle to heal in time for national elections. Words spoken in haste today can linger as wounds tomorrow.
This is why decorum must be the watchword in these final days. Campaign rhetoric should inspire rather than inflame, persuade rather than provoke, and unite rather than divide.
The NPP’s greatest strength has always been its ability to debate fiercely yet close ranks when it matters most.
The five aspirants are not merely contestants; they are custodians of a tradition that values democratic choice, tolerance, and internal cohesion.
Their conduct sets the tone not only for their supporters but also for the younger generation watching closely.
As tensions naturally rise ahead of the primaries, restraint becomes a mark of true leadership.
It is easy to excite a base with sharp language; it is far harder—and more admirable—to rise above provocation and remain statesmanlike.
Equally important is the need to prepare supporters for all possible outcomes. Victory should be met with humility, not triumphalism, while defeat should be accepted with grace, not bitterness. The party’s future depends on this balance.
The NPP’s opponents will undoubtedly scrutinize this process for signs of discord.
Any public display of hostility or intolerance will be seized upon as evidence of a party at war with itself. Discipline, therefore, is not optional—it is strategic.
Beyond strategy, however, lies principle. Ghana’s democratic culture has matured because political actors have increasingly learned to disagree without descending into chaos.
The NPP, as a major pillar of this democracy, must continue to model that maturity.
The primaries should be remembered as a contest of ideas, vision, and competence—not as a bruising battle of egos. Personal attacks and insinuations only diminish the stature of both the attacker and the party as a whole.
To the five aspirants, this is also a moment to extend goodwill to one another. Public expressions of respect and well wishes, before and after the vote, will go a long way in reassuring supporters that the party remains one family.
The delegates who will cast their votes deserve an atmosphere free from intimidation, suspicion, or unnecessary drama.
They must be allowed to exercise their judgment in peace, confident that their choice will be respected.
When the curtain finally falls on January 31, the NPP must be ready to move forward as one united force, focused squarely on the task of rebuilding trust, sharpening its message, and preparing for the long road to 2028.
This is, therefore, a timely appeal: let decorum guide ambition, let caution temper passion, and let goodwill define competition.
The NPP’s strength has never been in any single individual, but in its collective resolve to put party and country above all else.
God Bless Our Homeland Ghana!!!
Long Live Ghana, long live the Elephant Party!!!!
Kukruduuuu Eeeessshiii!!!
