The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong, has issued a stern warning to party members and the general public against any attempt to disrupt the party’s presidential primaries scheduled for January 31, assuring that security agencies will deal decisively with offenders.
Speaking at the signing of a peace pact by NPP presidential aspirants, Mr Kodua said the party is committed to ensuring that the internal elections are conducted in a free, fair and secure environment across all voting centres nationwide.
“I want to use this medium to send a strong caution to any person in our party or outside our party who has any intention of discrediting or trying to mar the beauty of our democracy come January 31.
Be careful, because on that day the IGP and his men will apprehend anybody who tries to cause chaos,” Mr Kodua warned on Thursday, January 22.
The NPP General Secretary also used the occasion to appeal to the presidential aspirants to conduct themselves with restraint and uphold party unity before, during and after the contest.
According to him, no single aspirant can secure victory in the 2028 general elections without the collective support of the party, stressing the need for reconciliation after the primaries.
“This contest is not a war. It is only to show whether you have the support of the party or not. When you win, you still need the support of your brothers to carry on and win the election in 2028,” he said.
Mr Kodua also assured the aspirants that the party’s leadership is fully prepared to support all candidates and to lead a reconciliation process after the primaries to unite the party ahead of the 2028 elections.
The peace pact signing forms part of efforts by the NPP to promote peaceful internal elections and strengthen unity as the party prepares for the 2028 general elections.
