John Boadu Urges Unity and Discipline Ahead of NPP Presidential Primaries

Aspiring National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu, has called for decorum, unity, and peaceful conduct as the party prepares for its presidential primaries on January 31. In a statement, Boadu emphasized the importance of upholding the party's core values during the internal election process.

"The presidential primaries present an important moment in our party’s democratic journey," Boadu stated. "It is a process that must reflect our long-held values of discipline, fairness, unity, and respect for the rule of law."

The primaries will determine the party's flagbearer for the 2028 general elections. Candidates include former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, former Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong, former Minister for Education Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, former Minister for Food and Agriculture Dr. Bryan Acheampong, and former General Secretary Kwabena Agyepong.

Approximately 211,849 delegates are expected to vote at 333 polling centers across the country's 276 constituencies. Boadu urged delegates to vote responsibly, guided by "the supreme interest of the NPP and the collective aspiration of Ghanaians for competent, principled, and visionary leadership."

He also appealed to party supporters to maintain calm and vigilance, rejecting any acts of violence or intimidation that could undermine the credibility of the election. "A peaceful, transparent, and credible election will strengthen our party and position us firmly for the task ahead," he emphasized.

Boadu stressed the need for unity regardless of the outcome, highlighting that the party's ultimate goal is to "secure victory in the 2028 General Elections."
