In a recent press release, the spokesperson of Vice President Dr. Gideon Boako, revealed that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia is deeply concerned about maintaining unity within the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
As a result, he has chosen not to respond to the unwarranted attacks directed at him by some aspirants in the party’s presidential primary.
This announcement comes after Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, another NPP flagbearer hopeful, made allegations against the Vice President and his team, claiming that he would give them a showdown if they continued to engage in tribal and religious politics.
Agyapong also accused the Vice President and his team of causing the collapse of the NPP through intimidation.
However, Dr. Boako has categorically denied Agyapong’s allegations. He stated, “It is also not true as alleged by Kennedy Agyapong that Dr. Bawumia is collapsing the party through intimidation.”
Highlighting Dr. Bawumia’s commitment to party unity, Dr. Boako emphasized that the Vice President refrains from responding to unwarranted attacks by his opponents and has even cautioned his supporters against responding in kind.
Instead, Dr. Bawumia’s strategy has been to persuade delegates to support his bid by articulating his vision for the party and the country.
Dr. Boako affirmed that the unity of the party is of great concern to Dr. Bawumia.
He stated, “The unity of our party has been of great concern to candidate Dr. Bawumia. It is in light of such concern that he refrains from responding to unwarranted attacks by others in the contest and has cautioned his supporters against responding to such provocative attacks.”
Furthermore, Dr. Boako stressed that the internal contest to select the NPP’s flagbearer for the 2024 elections should be conducted in accordance with the core values of the party.
He added, “The contest for flagbearer in the NPP is an internal one, and all actors, particularly the aspirants, must be guided by the core values of the NPP, which include but are not limited to truth, decorum, and respect for one another.”
The upcoming contest to elect the 2024 flagbearer of the NPP is scheduled for Saturday, November 4. Vice President Dr. Bawumia had secured the majority of votes during the Super Delegates Conference held on Saturday, August 26, leading many to believe he is the favorite to emerge as the winner in November.

Is that Gideon speaking_ Thought you asked those who dont like your candidate to leave party. Was that your speech unifying_ You have poured filth on Alan many times and in agreement with your advice he has left. Fill the vacuum. You forgot that every vote counts and so showed palpable disrespect to others who held different views. You will leave to see the consequences of your loose talks.
What has Bawumia done about those agents of other aspirants who were beaten on august 26th? Who is doing tribal politics? Vote for me because I am a Northner, because I am a muslim?
Well said, however you (Boako) should also emulate the Vice President. At times you make unguided statements. I heard you saying some few months back that anyone who is not satisfied with the way Akuffo Addo is managing the affairs of the country is free to leave the NPP. I saw this statement coming from you as most unfortunate. You are one of those seriously campaigning for Bawumia to lead the NPP as it's flag bearer for the 2024 elections. If aggrieved NPP supporters were to go by your statement and leave the party, do you ( Boako) have your own biological children who are 18 years and above to queue to vote for Bawumia to win the ultimate? Remember it's the majority votes that will carry the day. Some of the hawkers you see in the streets of Ghana have about 3-5 children who are all qualified to vote. You may be a minister, MP, MMDCE, CEO and presidential staffer but may not have one child of your own who is qualified to vote so respect everyone in the party irrespective of the persons social or economic standing, because they are the kingmakers. If people are aggrieved use your phd sense to explain issues to them. It's these same people who's votes got some of you jobs as advisers at the presidency. Remember every registered voter is a delegate in the December, 2024 elections. Hope you will take a cue from this and watch your words.
