NPP will deepen media partnership and ensure freedom – Bawumia
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the Presidential Candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring a peaceful and violence-free 2024 general election.
Speaking with journalists in Accra on Sunday, August 25, Dr Bawumia emphasized the importance of protecting citizens throughout the election period and preventing any loss of lives.
He expressed concern over the use of inflammatory rhetoric on campaign platforms and called for a focus on constructive political engagement.
“Let me state my firm commitment to free, fair and peaceful elections in December. The quest for political power should not be an end in itself. It should be mounted on the desire to transform lives and make Ghana our motherland a better place for us all.
“It is becoming increasingly worrying, that some people have gained notoriety of churning out incendiary language, threatening fire and brimstone, if the good people of Ghana give the mandate to rule, to a group other than theirs.
“Whiles nobody profits from violence and chaos. It bears repeating that not a single drop of Ghanaian blood should be sacrificed for power.”
Dr Bawumia expressed the NPP’s determination to elevate their ideas above those of other parties, pledging the party’s commitment to conduct a decent and issue-based campaign.
“Our party is determined to pitch our ideas as we have always done and to demonstrate our superiority over any and above any other party can offer. I pledge and that of the NPP to campaign on ideas and conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of a democratic group,” he promised.
