Director of Communications for the 2024 Bawumia Campaign Team, Dennis Miracles Aboagye, has defended the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) National Council over its decision to fix January 31, 2026, as the date for the party's presidential primaries, insisting the move is grounded in facts and reflects realities on the ground.

Speaking on Channel One TV's The Big Issue on Saturday, June 21, Miracles called on party members to unite behind the decision, emphasising that the National Council acted within its constitutional powers and in the best interest of the party. "The National Council has taken a good decision which is based on facts and things happening on the ground.

Members should just rally around it, because the National Council is the second-highest decision-making body.

There is nothing like a top-down approach.
