An aspiring National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu, has stated that fostering harmony among party leaders and grassroots supporters is critical to rebuilding confidence and positioning the party for success.
He noted that the strength of the NPP had always rested on unity, mutual respect and adherence to the party’s core values.
He has, therefore, emphasised the need for reconciliation and collective responsibility among the leadership and the rank and file of the party.
Engagements
Mr Boadu was speaking during a series of courtesy calls on key party stalwarts as part of efforts to promote peace, unity and internal cohesion.
The visits, which form part of his nationwide consultation with party stakeholders and elders, are aimed at strengthening bonds among various factions, mostly formed in support of aspirants.
It is aimed at building a shared sense of purpose as the NPP prepares for the Presidential Primaries, slated for January 31.
He has so far called on four out of the five presidential aspirants, including former Vice-President Dr Mahamadu Bawumia, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, Kennedy Agyapong and Kwabena Agyepong.
Wisdom
Mr Boadu explained that the courtesy calls were not about advancing his personal ambition, but listening to the wisdom and experience of the leaders, especially the elderly, to draw lessons from the party’s history.
He described the interactions as opportunities to seek counsel, promote dialogue and rally the party around a common vision.
He reiterated his commitment to delivering servant leadership as the National Chairman, pledging to work with all stakeholders to heal divisions and strengthen party structures from the national to the grassroots level.
Mr Boadu, a former General Secretary of the party, called on party members to put the collective interest of the NPP above individual differences and to work together to rebuild the party.
The party stalwarts who received John Boadu welcomed the initiative and commended him for prioritising unity and consultation.
They underscored the importance of maintaining peace within the party, particularly at a time when internal solidarity is essential for effective opposition and future electoral victories.
