Essence of Unity within NPP – Abdul Jalil Opele Writes

THE NPP MUST ESTABLISH A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD AND ENSURE FAIRNESS TO ANCHORING PARTY UNITY AND COHESION.

Since we have ended our internal Presidential primary successfully, it’s essential to chart a path of unity and cohesion for a quick comeback to power in 2028.

As we all know many had reservations about the successful conduct of the January 31 Flagbearer race but it ended with great excitement.

As the President of Northern NPP Concerned Youth Group, I was highly elated about the turn of events with the collective spirit of Party faithful.

This demonstrated our Party’s resolve to journey on a path of positivity despite our individual differences and preferences.

In fact, no political Party has ever won power with a disunited front after its internal democratic electoral process.

The fact of the matter is that, we have a tough hurdle ahead of us to defeat the NDC and the only antidote is for us to prioritize unity and peaceful coexistence.

To delve into the real substance of this piece, unity, fairness and acceptance of divergent views will go a long way to unite us in our rebuilding process.

Still on the rebuilding and reorganization process, I would like to add my voice to the need for the Party’s top hierarchy to continue to showcase fairness in the polling station executives, Electoral Areas, Consistency, Regional, and National elections.

After the successful election of our Flagbearer, what lies ahead is choosing the right caliber of committed people who will be to the benefit of our Party.

On the Party people who are showing interest particularly in the Constituency Executives, Regional Executives, and National Executives.

The actions of the Party’s leadership on the above should be open and anchored on fairness and transparency to cure the misconception of unnecessary disqualifications in all Constituencies, Regionals, and at the National level.

For emphasis, once a level field is provided for all Party faithful in good standing to take will help to ensure unity and cohesion.

Instructively, we have been here before and it is incumbent on us not to repeat the past mistakes of unnecessary disqualifications and denial of people the opportunity to contest.

Importantly, the leadership of the Party must exercise caution and take useful lessons in the conduct of the Party’s continuous reorganization process.

A moment of reflection is here and we must collectively seek to move forward in unison for quick recovery to bounce back with victory in 2028.

In summary, the points raised above must be taken into consideration to propel our Party to greater heights with a victory for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and the Party.
