Ignore the Lies — Bawumia tells Delegates

According to him, with the primary drawing closer, certain rivals have resorted to insults and untruths in an attempt to sway the minds of delegates. He urged party members to remain focused and not allow such tactics to distract them from the broader goals of the party.

“A few days ago, we received intelligence that, with two weeks left to the primary, they are planning a strategy to insult me and spread lies about me. So be alert and wary. You will hear a lot of lies about me. They want to change your minds. Don’t mind them. Go and vote for me,” Dr Bawumia told the gathering.

He stressed that the NPP’s internal contest should be based on ideas, competence and vision rather than personal attacks, noting that politics within the party must remain respectful and issue-driven.

“This is not an insulting competition but because they know their campaign is failing. That is why they are saying, ‘If you miss the ball, don’t miss the man.’ They want to insult me, but I won’t mind them. I am focused on victory,” he added.

Despite the alleged attacks, Dr Bawumia said he remains unfazed and confident of winning the NPP presidential primary. He reaffirmed his commitment to running a positive campaign centred on policies, unity and victory for the party in the 2024 general elections.

He appealed to delegates to vote based on merit and what they believe is best for the future of the NPP and Ghana, rather than being influenced by misinformation as the campaign intensifies.
