Former Deputy Local Government Minister under the Akufo-Addo administration, Augustine Collins Ntim, has raised concerns about the creeping introduction of tribal and religious sentiments into Ghana’s political discourse, particularly within the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Mr. Ntim, who now chairs the Middle Belt Campaign Committee for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, insisted that such divisive practices are foreign to the NPP’s principles.
Speaking to party supporters during a door-to-door campaign to rally support for Dr. Bawumia’s bid to lead the NPP in the 2028 elections, he cautioned:
“There are some individuals spreading claims that Christians did not back Dr. Bawumia in the 2024 elections because he is Muslim. This is completely alien to the NPP. We do not encourage such divisions because every member of the party knows we stand for unity, not segregation.
“Moreover, no post-election report has ever suggested that Dr. Bawumia lost because of his religion or tribe, so where are these claims coming from?” he asked.
Campaign activities for the NPP’s next presidential flagbearer are gaining momentum in the Ashanti Region, with the party’s primaries set for January 31, 2026.
