Don’t punish me for actions of my team members

Former Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential hopeful, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has appealed to party delegates not to allow personal issues with members of his campaign team to influence their voting decisions ahead of the party’s presidential primaries scheduled for January 31, 2026.
Addressing delegates during his campaign tour of the Greater Accra Region, Dr. Bawumia emphasized that he should be assessed based on his own record, not on the actions or attitudes of individuals supporting his campaign.
“I want all of you to know that I’m the one on the ballot paper,” he told the gathering.
“Maybe someone has annoyed you and is part of my campaign team. Don’t allow your issues with the person to affect me. I don’t have any problem with you.”
He further urged delegates to separate personal grievances from the bigger picture of the party’s future and his vision for Ghana.
“Do not allow another person’s problem to become a burden for me. When you vote for me, I will come and help you,” Dr. Bawumia said passionately.
“I am pleading with all of you not to make someone’s actions negatively impact me. Please vote for me. I have no issues with you,” he added.
