Former Education Minister and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, has committed to running a clean and respectful campaign, promising delegates in the Ashanti Region that personal attacks and insults would have no place in his team’s approach.
Speaking on Friday at the Mampong zone during his “Hope Tour,” Dr. Adutwum told former party executives that his focus would remain on sharing his vision and appealing to the delegates’ conscience.
“I will not allow anyone on my team to insult or malign others. My focus is to share my vision with the delegates and appeal to their conscience,” he said. “Anyone who truly believes they can win this election will not resort to insults.”
Unity Over Empty Gestures
Dr. Adutwum emphasised the importance of upholding unity and integrity within the party, cautioning against superficial reconciliation efforts after internal divisions have already caused damage.
“After the contest, we must work together in unity — not by setting up reconciliation committees after the damage is done, but by running a clean and respectful campaign from the start,” he stressed.
Rejecting Smear Tactics
Addressing attempts to discredit his character, Dr. Adutwum dismissed the actions, affirming that such efforts would not succeed.
“I am committed to a campaign devoid of insults — one that is free, fair, transparent, and worthy of our great party. If we uphold these values at every level, we will emerge stronger and more united,” he said.
The comments underscore Dr. Adutwum’s intention to prioritise integrity, respect, and transparency as he vies for the NPP’s flagbearer position ahead of the 2025 elections.
