According to him, the process should reflect the core values of the party, including discipline, fairness, unity, and respect for one another, noting that all aspirants and their supporters remain members of the same political family, regardless of the outcome.

He cautioned against any conduct that could undermine the integrity and credibility of the primaries, calling on all stakeholders to reject violence, intimidation, insults and acts that may derail the peaceful conduct of the exercise.
“A peaceful, transparent, and credible election will strengthen our party and position us firmly for the task ahead,” he noted.
The aspiring National Chairman also underscored the need for unity after the primaries, urging party members to close ranks and heal any divisions in order to focus on securing victory in the 2028 general elections.
Boadu commended the Presidential Election Committee for what he described as the impressive work done so far and called on party leadership and security agencies to ensure a peaceful, orderly and successful presidential primary.
He concluded by invoking divine guidance for the nation and the party, wishing Ghana and the NPP well ahead of the crucial exercise.
