The New Patriotic Party's (NPP) recent National Delegates Conference was marked by the overwhelming presence and endorsement of former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. His unity-themed speech drew comparisons to historic addresses and was widely praised for its oratory. However, the event also sparked controversy, with allegations of favoritism, special treatment, and internal divisions over his prominent role. Despite criticism and claims of a 'grand scheme' to make him the party's flagbearer, surveys indicate strong delegate support for Bawumia. Party leaders and analysts are urging members to prioritize unity as the NPP prepares for upcoming elections.
It’s telling that the NPP keeps pushing Bawumia as their unifying figure while brushing aside concerns about favoritism and backroom deals. True unity comes from real transparency and listening to the grassroots, not just headline speeches and orchestrated endorsements. If the NPP really cared about the people, they'd focus less on internal power plays and more on policies that actually address inequality and social justice.
