The New Patriotic Party's (NPP) recent National Delegates Conference was marked by the overwhelming presence and support for former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. His keynote speech, praised for its unity message and oratory, sparked both admiration and controversy within the party. While some members accused the leadership of favoring Bawumia and orchestrating his prominence, others defended his right to address the conference and highlighted his strong backing among delegates. The event also saw debates over party unity versus individual ambitions, with calls for members to prioritize cohesion ahead of the upcoming flagbearer race. Surveys indicate Bawumia is the clear frontrunner for the NPP's presidential candidacy.
Honestly, it’s interesting to see all this hype around Bawumia, but I wish the conversation focused more on real policies that improve people’s lives instead of just party unity. The NPP seems caught up in internal power plays while so many Ghanaians are struggling with inequality and lack of social protections. If they really want unity, maybe they should listen to the grassroots and prioritize healthcare, education, and jobs over just keeping the party together for elections. Social democracy is about putting people first, not just personalities and internal party loyalty.
