The Vice Presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Dr.
Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has appealed to the people of Dagbon not to allow the opposition National Democratic Congress to cause divisions amongst them due to its discriminatory ethnic and religious policies.He made the call during a curtesy call on the overlord of Dagbon, Yaa Naa, Mahama Abukari Gariba II at the Gbewaa Palace in Yendi to seek for his prayers to ensure peace prevails during the upcoming elections.He remarked that prayer is important due to the current high-stakes political climate, expressing concern over potential tensions as the December 7 elections approach.During the discussion, he shared the NPP's foundational story, a party rooted in unity, established with the support and active involvement of chiefs from the northern, southern, middle, and coastal regions who joined forces to form the United Party, later to become the New Patriotic Party."The NPP thus, holds a deep respect for the chieftaincy institution, and Dr.
Mahamudu Bawumia together with me are dedicated to deepening its rightful place in nation-building. NPP is a harmonious blend of individuals united beyond religion and ethnicity, embodying national cohesion and inclusivity.
This is what we present to the Ghanaian people, NAPO said.Dr.
