Bawumia kicks off nationwide campaign tour, issues directive against targeted insults at other aspirants

Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia will on, Wednesday, October 15, 2025, commence a nationwide tour of all 276 constituencies as he formally begins his campaign to be elected as the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Flagbearer.

The tour, which promises to be a grassroots-focused engagement, is designed for Dr. Bawumia to interact directly with polling station executives, electoral area coordinators, current and former constituency executives, former MPs, former MMDCEs, as well as patrons and the council of elders.

The initiative, according to a release from his campaign team, “underscores his commitment to listening, building consensus, and strengthening the Party’s foundation from the ground up.”

Simultaneously, the Bawumia campaign team has issued a strong internal directive, calling for an immediate cessation of insults and personal attacks against other aspirants and their supporters.

In a statement signed by the Campaign’s Communications Director, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, the team laid down a firm and unequivocal directive to all its communicators, supporters, and volunteers.

The campaign ordered them to “immediately cease and desist from any form of direct or indirect insults, derogatory remarks, and personal attacks against any other aspirant, their families, or their supporters.”

The directive, which aligns with the former Vice President’s recent call for unity, emphasises that all communications must be “grounded in verifiable facts, a comparative analysis of ideas, and the substantive track records of all involved.”

The campaign expressed concern about a recent trend where exchanges have “devolved into personal insults, unsubstantiated attacks, and the denigration of individuals,” describing such conduct as contrary to the NPP’s spirit and values.

Dr. Bawumia’s team expressed confidence that when the debate is focused on issues, his “qualifications, experience, and transformative ideas will resonate decisively with the delegates.”
