Former MP for Awutu Senya West, Nenyi George Andah, has called on members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to rise above internal factions ahead of the party’s 31 January event, emphasising leadership, readiness, and national responsibility.
In a Facebook post on Saturday (24 January), Andah said the date should serve as a moment for sober reflection on presidential leadership and the qualities required to govern Ghana, rather than a focus on internal alignments or party camps.
“January 31 should remind us of leadership and readiness to govern Ghana — not camps,” he said.
He urged the party to prioritize unity, discipline, and shared values over factional loyalty, while acknowledging the courage of members who have declared their intention to seek leadership positions.
“Only a united and disciplined party can credibly present leadership worthy of the trust of the Ghanaian people,” Andah added.
Akufo-Addo cautions
Andah’s comments reflect concerns within the party about managing differing interests and ensuring a smooth transition as members rally behind the eventual winner.
Former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is urging all New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer aspirants and their supporters to prioritise unity over personal ambition as the party moves through its leadership contest.
Speaking at the peace pact signing ceremony held in Accra on Thursday (22 January), Akufo-Addo stressed that the party must remain stronger than any single individual or faction.
“Let me be clear. The NPP is bigger than any individual. No ambition or faction is greater than the elephant,” he said.
Unity not an option
The former president emphasised that leadership contests should not weaken the party’s shared mission. He added that unity is not optional or just a slogan, but a strategic requirement for winning elections.
“Unity is not an option. Unity is not a slogan. Unity is a strategic necessity for victory,” Akufo-Addo said.
He also urged the aspirants to ensure that the peace pact they signed is not merely symbolic, but a commitment to be upheld throughout the campaign.
“So I charge all of you: this peace pact must not only be signed, it must be lived,” he said.
