Accra, July 11, GNA – A member of the New Patriotic Party in the Afigya Sekyere East Constituency, Barima Sarpong has urged all aspirants, delegates and supporters to prioritise peace, unity and respect as the party prepares for its constituency executive elections on Sunday, July 12, 2026.
In a statement copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra on Saturday, Barima Sarpong commended all aspirants who have put themselves forward to serve, describing their decision as a demonstration of “courage, dedication, and patriotism.”
He stressed that the elections should not be seen as a contest between individuals, but as “an opportunity to strengthen our Party’s structures and deepen our commitment to the ideals and values of the New Patriotic Party.
Outlining his appeal, Mr. Sarpong made three key calls ahead of the polls.
On Peace and borderline, he called on all stakeholders to ensure the elections were “conducted in a peaceful, free, fair, and transparent manner” and to respect the authority of the Elections Committee and the will of delegates.
On unity and reconciliation, he urged the Party to unite immediately after the elections, stating “There should be no factions, no bitterness, and no divisions.”
He added that the collective goal must be to position the Party for victory in the 2028 general election.
On respect and decency, he cautioned against insults and misinformation, and urged members to “focus on issues, ideas, and solutions rather than personalities” to protect the dignity of the Party.
Mr. Sarpong also encouraged aspirants to remain committed to the NPP regardless of the outcome.
“Leadership is not defined solely by elected office but by one’s willingness to serve. Whether victorious or otherwise, your contribution to the growth and development of Afigya Sekyere East remains invaluable,” he stated.
He expressed confidence that “through unity, hard work, and a shared sense of purpose, the NPP in Afigya Sekyere East will continue to serve as a shining example within the Ashanti Region and beyond.”
The NPP’s nationwide Constituency Executive Elections are expected to elect new executives to steer the Party’s grassroots structures ahead of 2028.
