The New Patriotic Party (NPP) will have all its presidential aspirants sign a peace pact on Thursday, January 22, in a move aimed at preventing internal divisions and ensuring a peaceful flagbearer election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isaac Yaw Boamah-Nyarko, MP for Effia and a member of the NPP\u2019s presidential election committee, told Asaase Radio\u2019s The Forum that former party presidents and representatives of the National Peace Council will also be part of the signing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOn Thursday, we are going to sign the peace pact. All the aspirants, together with our former presidents and the Peace Council, will sign a peace pact that commits them to the outcome of the election. The peace pact is to make it clear that whether you win or lose, you owe it to the party to pull everybody along,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Boamah-Nyarko stressed that the initiative is meant to shield the party from factional tensions and security incidents that could undermine the process. He confirmed that the Ghana Police Service will oversee security during the election, warning that \u201cno machismo, no bodyguardism will be entertained,\u201d and that any attempts to disrupt the process will be dealt with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He further urged aspirants to focus on their ideas and track records, rather than personal attacks, noting that unity after the election is vital to strengthen the party\u2019s chances against the ruling NDC in 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis party has survived worse moments,\u201d he said, emphasising that maintaining cohesion will restore public confidence and position the NPP for a return to power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
