Isaac Yaw Boamah-Nyarko a member of parliament for Effia and member of the NPP presidential election committee has revealed, all presidential aspirant will sign a peace pact on Thursday, January 22.
According to him, the move is to prevent internal divisions and to ensure a peaceful flagbearer election.
He highlighted the initiative is meant to shield the party from factional tensions and security incidents.
The MP further detailed that the Ghana Police Service will oversee security during the election adding that no machismo, no bodyguardism will be entertained.
Speaking on Asaase Radio’s The Forum, Isaac Yaw Boamah-Nyarko detailed, “On Thursday, we are going to sign the peace pact. All the aspirants, together with our former presidents and the Peace Council, will sign a peace pact that commits them to the outcome of the election. The peace pact is to make it clear that whether you win or lose, you owe it to the party to pull everybody along,” he said.
“This party has survived worse moments,” he said.
Also, Justin Kodua Frimpong, General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has said the party is bigger than all five candidates contesting the flagbearership election.
The NPP General Secretary assured party members that the upcoming presidential primaries will be conducted freely, fairly, and transparently.
According to him, the NPP is bigger than all five candidates, and members must prioritise the long-term interests of the party.
Speaking in an interview with JoyNews, Justin Frimpong stated, “The most important thing that the rank and file of our party must understand is that the NPP is bigger than all those five people who are contesting. At the end of the day, just as we have had several party stakeholders who contested in the previous election, this is their time. They will come, they will go, but the NPP will remain the NPP”.
“At the end of the day, if I lose the election and the processes were not fair, then it gives me the reason to rock the boat. It gives me the reason to stay back and say, ‘Well, you have decided to skew the process to favour a particular person. So, you go and do your own campaign. We don’t want that situation,’” he explained.
“Our supreme interest is to make sure that we go into the election as a united front. Then after the election, we remain as a united front, rather than scheming the process for one particular person,” Mr Frimpong added.
Meanwhile, Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah, the Founder and Leader of the Glorious Word Power Ministries International, has dropped a prophecy ahead of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primaries on January 31, 2026.
According to the man of God, if care is not taken, the NPP primaries will be chaotic with bloodshed, people losing their lives, leading to division in the party.
Speaking during the 2025 31st Night Service, Rev Isaac Owusu-Bempah stated, “NPP, please listen to this. Don’t despise what I’m saying to you… I saw an image which had human characteristics; it was like a human being. And this personality was standing in the midst of the contestants who were contesting in the flagbearership race.
“I saw that the personality, the image standing in the midst of the contestants, was bleeding, and I was asking God, what is the significance of this? And God said to me that the party’s election, if care is not taken and they are not careful enough, will become chaotic and there will be bloodshed, and some people will lose their lives in the process, and it will lead to division in the party,” he said.
He added, “Don’t despise what I’m saying. This is not politics; I’m not doing politics here. This is about the lives of people.”
