Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has adopted a different strategy for the approaching internal contests inside the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
During his travels across the nation, he has opted to promote his ideals and highlight the accomplishments of the NPP government rather than engaging in personal attacks against his rivals.
Dr. Bawumia stressed the value of party unity and the need to concentrate on the overarching goal of progress for the country when he spoke to NPP delegates in the Ahafo Region district of Asutifi. He voiced the opinion that attacking rivals in a party-wide debate would only serve to splinter the group and impede its expansion.
“I firmly believe that our internal contests should be based on ideas, policies, and the track record of our government,” Dr. Bawumia stated. “We are all members of the same party, working towards the same goal of improving the lives of Ghanaians. Attacking each other will only distract us from achieving that goal.”
“I don’t believe in attacking my opponents and I won’t do that because it will be toxic and won’t be good for our party,” Dr. Bawumia said.
“This is an internal contest to elect our flagbearer, so why should I attack my opponents or say something against our party? I am running a very decent campaign. I am selling my ideas to delegates and I do that with decorum, with humility, with respect and without mentioning anybody’s name.”
Dr. Bawumia’s strategy differs from internal party elections, which are typically contentious and marked by candidates’ mudslinging and personal assaults. Instead, he seeks to promote a climate of constructive competition where ideas are prioritized and delegates can reach merit-based decisions.
“This should be a contest of ideas not insults. So I have told all my staff not to insults or attack anyone. They should stick to sharing my vision and message to delegates. I have told them that even if I am attacked or insulted, they, should not respond because I am a unifier.”
The Vice President has been emphasizing the tremendous accomplishments of the NPP government, led by President Nana Akufo-Addo, during his discussions with delegates. Dr. Bawumia has been eager to highlight the beneficial influence the administration has had on Ghanaians’ lives, from large infrastructural projects to social intervention initiatives.

His strategy has been praised by supporters and political analysts as a welcome change from the divisive strategies frequently used in internal conflicts.
While the results of the internal contests are still up in the air, one thing is certain: Dr. Bawumia’s principled approach to campaigning is providing Ghana’s political dialogue with a constructive model.
He is shown a dedication to a politics of substance and advancement by forgoing assaults on his opponents in favor of emphasizing the sharing of his ideas and accomplishments.
The NPP’s internal rivalries are still going strong, but Dr. Bawumia’s message of cooperation, advancement, and policy-driven competitiveness is starting to gain traction.
The importance of emphasizing ideas over personal attacks is becoming more and more clear to delegates, and many of them are uniting around the Vice President’s plan for the party and the country’s future.
