According to the Spokesperson for Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, Yaw Opoku Mensah, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will not require any post-election unity talks if his boss and former education minister emerged as flagbearer ahead of the 2028 general elections.

According to him, Dr Adutwum’s calmness, humility, and unifying personality naturally inspired respect and loyalty among party members, making reconciliation efforts less difficult.

“This contest has nothing to do with the ability to rain insults or provoke attacks for media visibility. It is about innovative thinking, proven integrity, and disciplined engagement with the party’s rank and file,” Opoku Mensah said.

He explained that Dr Adutwum’s composure and decency in political discourse had already distinguished him from his contenders, positioning him as the natural choice to lead the NPP into the next elections.

“His calmness and gentleness set him apart. When Dr Adutwum is elected, people will fall in line naturally due to his persona. There will be no need for any unity talk,” he stressed.

Opoku Mensah reiterated that the NPP’s traditional values of integrity, experience, and discipline aligned perfectly with Dr Adutwum’s leadership record.

“The shared values of the NPP have always been that a candidate must lead with integrity, decorum, experience, and incorruptible records. Those values, in our current situation, make Dr Adutwum the favourite among all candidates,” he noted.

He further argued that for the party to have a “smooth ride” in the 2028 general elections, it must rally behind Dr Adutwum a man he described as visionary, unblemished, and deeply committed to national development.

“If the party wishes for a smooth ride in 2028, Dr Adutwum must lead us to the battle of destiny. We require his enviable records in both public and private life,” he added.

Opoku Mensah also highlighted Dr Adutwum’s message of hope and prosperity, describing it as evidence of his deep understanding of Ghana’s socio-economic challenges and his determination to transform lives.

“We must engineer ourselves out of poverty and look forward to a more dignified life as a country nearing a century of independence. The NPP has a unique opportunity to make Ghana the envy of the continent and a blueprint for others to emulate under Dr Adutwum’s leadership,” he said.

Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, the former minister of education, is among the key figures tipped to contest the NPP’s flagbearership race ahead of the 2028 polls.
