The Ashanti regional constituency communication officers of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have called on the aspirants of party’s flag-bearer position to be decorous as they campaign around the country to seek the support of party members.
They should restrain themselves and engage in a heightened sense of responsibility as they tour the various constituencies of the party to engage with delegates.
These were contained in a press statement jointly signed by 40 out of the 46 constituency communication officers in the Ashanti region.
The statement comes ahead of a tour of the Ashanti region by Mr Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, one of the aspirants to the Ashanti region to seek the support of the delegates in the upcoming race slated for January 31, 2026.
The constituency communicators expressed deep concern over certain comments and conduct associated with the campaign activities of some of the flag-bearer aspirants.
According to them, these developments had generated unease among grassroots supporters of the party not only in the Ashanti region, but across the country.
The officers, who serve as front-line communicators of the NPP, stated that they devoted considerable time and effort to defending the party and projecting its image positively on radio, television, and other media platforms.
However, they noted that this responsibility had increasingly become difficult due to intemperate language, divisive remarks, and statements perceived to carry tribal, religious, and ethnic undertones by team members of some aspirants.
They cautioned that such conduct undermined their work, weakened the party’s public image, and threatened internal cohesion at a time when unity, discipline, and message coherence were critical.
The Ashanti Region, they stressed, remained the electoral stronghold of the NPP, and must continue to exemplify unity and strategic communication.
They urged all flag-bearer aspirants and their supporters to uphold the core values of respect, unity, and responsible communication, emphasizing that, the ultimate objective of the party was victory, which could only be achieved through disciplined and issue-based campaigning.
