Vice President Dr.
Mahamudu Bawumia has made a strong appeal for decorum and intellectual engagement as the New Patriotic Party (NPP) prepares for its internal presidential primaries.
Speaking in what many see as a subtle response to the repeated verbal attacks from former MP Kennedy Agyapong, Bawumia called for an issue-based campaign. "In our internal election, let us make it a contest of ideas," he said. "It's not a contest of insults or denigration of the poor." Dr.
Bawumia's statement, delivered in calm but deliberate tones, appears to address a rising tide of inflammatory rhetoric within the party-particularly from Kennedy Agyapong, who has repeatedly taken aim at Bawumia's economic record and political style.
