The 2024 Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has attributed the party’s defeat in the 2024 general elections to internal disunity and damaging utterances among its members.
Speaking during his ‘Thank You Tour’ in Takoradi on Saturday, April 26, Dr. Bawumia expressed concern over the party’s internal conflicts in the run-up to the elections, noting that they severely impacted the NPP’s electoral fortunes.
He urged party members to be mindful of their statements during internal elections to avoid harming the party’s unity and prospects in future contests.
“In the lead up to the 2024 elections, there was disunity amongst us. Our utterances against each other also severely affected our fortunes. The NDC didn’t have campaign messages, but capitalised on some of these utterances.
“They advertised our utterances towards the elections in the media, they were playing our own language to us. Let’s be mindful of our utterances during internal elections, to avoid bringing down our opponents,” he pointed out.
