The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has called on all its presidential aspirants to prioritise unity and collaboration, emphasising that winning the party’s flagbearer contest is just the first step toward securing victory in the 2028 general elections.
Speaking at the peace pact signing for NPP flagbearer candidates ahead of the January 31, 2026, primaries, General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong stressed that no candidate can achieve success alone and that support from fellow party members will be crucial.
“Please, all of you should understand that none of you alone, even when you win, can secure our victory in 2028. And therefore, you will need the support of your brothers to be able to win the elections in 2028,” he said.
Mr Frimpong described the primaries not merely as a competition to show internal support, but as a platform to strengthen the party ahead of the national elections. He assured aspirants that the party administration would facilitate reconciliation and collaboration after the primaries.
“And I can assure you that as administrator of the party, every support that we need to give to all our aspirants and even after the elections, the process of reconciliation to bring everybody on board, you can trust us that we are fully prepared and ready to support you to make sure that we rally ourselves together to fight for the victory in 2028,” he added.
The peace pact, signed by all NPP flagbearer hopefuls, is part of the party’s efforts to maintain cohesion and prevent internal disputes from affecting its performance in the upcoming elections. Political analysts say such agreements are crucial for party unity, particularly in parties with fierce internal contests.
The NPP’s presidential primary on January 31 will determine the party’s candidate for the 2028 general elections, and observers have noted that early reconciliation and collaboration among aspirants could significantly strengthen the party’s prospects at the national level.
