You Will Never Hear Me Insulting Other Aspirants- Bawumia To Youth Organizers

Former Vice President and NPP Flagbearer hopeful, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has made a solemn pledge not to insult any opponent in the run-up to the Presidential Primaries of the party slated for the 31st January, 2025.

Speaking on Wednesday, August 13, when over 490 youth organizers — including substantive and deputy youth leaders from constituencies nationwide — presented his nomination forms, Dr. Bawumia urged aspirants and their supporters to shun insults during the campaign.

“I want this flagbearership election to be conducted with decorum. We’re not in a campaign of insults, and we should not be in a campaign of insults. It should be about ideas. And that is what will capture the imagination of Ghanaians.

“What ideas do we have? What are we bringing to the table? How are we going to solve the problems Ghanaians face? As a party, I admonish everybody, all the aspirants and our supporters, that let us focus on marketing or selling our respective aspirants,” he advised.

Dr. Bawumia cautioned that negative campaigning could damage the party and provide ammunition for its political opponents.

“When we bring down other people, we bring down the party. Our messages will be taken by our opponents, and they will use them against us.

“I will not, and you will never hear me insulting any aspirants. Because when this election is over, we have to contest a general election. And if we divide ourselves today, we will have difficulty in uniting for a general election tomorrow. So, let us begin the process with unity, and end with unity because that will bring victory in 2028.”

YOUTH ORGANIZERS PRESENT FORMS

In a bold show of support, Hundreds of youth organizers of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) on Wednesday, August 13, thronged the party’s headquarters in Accra to pick up presidential nomination forms on behalf of former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

The delegation, comprising constituency and regional youth organizers from across the country, arrived in coordinated NPP-branded attire, chanting party slogans and singing patriotic songs as they entered the premises. Addressing the media, Isaac Obeng, a youth organizer, described the occasion as both a celebration of young people and a significant political moment.

“Yesterday was International Youth Day, and as youth organizers and deputies from various constituencies, we believe we cannot remain idle in our constituencies without marking this remarkable day,” he said.

He explained that their visit to the party headquarters was more than symbolic. “We are here today to pick the form for our incoming president, Insha Allah, Dr Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia. We believe this is a gift to him.”
