The New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has reiterated his pledge to guarantee a nonviolent and tranquil general election in 2024.
In an interview with media on Sunday, August 25, Dr. Bawumia stressed the significance of keeping residents safe during the election period and averting any fatalities.
He advocated for an emphasis on positive political engagement and voiced worry over the use of divisive language on campaign platforms.
“Let me state my firm commitment to free, fair and peaceful elections in December. The quest for political power should not be an end in itself. It should be mounted on the desire to transform lives and make Ghana our motherland a better place for us all.
“It is becoming increasingly worrying, that some people have gained notoriety of churning out incendiary language, threatening fire and brimstone, if the good people of Ghana give the mandate to rule, to a group other than theirs.
“Whiles nobody profits from violence and chaos. It bears repeating that not a single drop of Ghanaian blood should be sacrificed for power.”
Dr. Bawumia pledged the party’s resolve to running a respectable and issue-based campaign, expressing the NPP’s determination to put their ideals above those of other parties.
“Our party is determined to pitch our ideas as we have always done and to demonstrate our superiority over any and above any other party can offer. I pledge and that of the NPP to campaign on ideas and conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of a democratic group,” he promised.
