The National Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called on the presidential aspirants of the party to disengage, drop their weapons and dispense with the personal attacks that have characterized their campaigns.
Speaking in an interview, the NPP National Chairman disclosed that the party is engaging the aspirants behind the scenes on the issues.
“We are engaging them behind the scenes and everybody should put down their tools, weapons and just articulate your message to the delegates. They will understand you if it makes sense, and vote for you accordingly,” Mr. Ntim stated.
The campaign by close contenders in the upcoming Presidential primaries has witnessed the peddling of falsehood and casting of insinuations against each other.
Political Analyst Jonathan Asante Otchere believes that Dr. Bawumia would have had fewer competitors if the economy was in a better state.
In a recent interview on Happy 98.9 FM’ “Epa Hoa Daben” socio-political talk show with Sefah Danquah, Mr. Otchere indicated that the Vice President, Dr. Bawumia, enjoys substantial support from various influential quarters within the party due to his current position.
However, Asante Otchere pointed out that Dr. Bawumia’s extensive competition within the party might indicate a broader issue – the state of the economy. He suggested that if the economy was thriving and performing well, the number of contenders challenging Dr. Bawumia’s position would likely be much smaller.
