Former Vice President and 2024 New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has urged members and supporters of the NPP to remain calm, steadfast, and law-abiding amid what he describes as growing political intimidation.
His remarks come in response to the attempted arrest of Reverend John Ntim Fordjour, Member of Parliament for Assin South and Ranking Member of the Defence and Interior Committee, by operatives believed to be from the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB).
Dr Bawumia visited the MP following the incident, describing him as being "in high spirit and undaunted" despite the raid on his residence.
In a message to party loyalists, Dr Bawumia said, "I charge all Party faithful to remain calm, steadfast, and law-abiding in this period of unfortunate political persecution." He maintained that the NPP remained committed to the rule of law and democratic principles, even in the face of provocation.
