The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has announced that its Adhoc Committee has begun monitoring comments, actions and public engagements of aspirants and their campaign representatives to ensure a peaceful and respectful campaign ahead of the party’s flagbearer election on January 31, 2026.
A statement signed and issued by the National Council of Elders of the party on Thursday, October 9, 2025, advised members of the party, supporters and the general public to report any utterance, conduct or social media post by any candidate or spokesperson that are deemed offensive and divisive to the Adhoc Committee.
It said “the committee has begun monitoring comments, actions and public engagements of aspirants and their campaign representatives to ensure a peaceful, respectful and issue-based campaign in line with the values and traditions of the party.
“Comments which are capable of inciting disunity within the party should promptly be referred to the committee. Such referrals should be accompanied by credible evidence and may be made either in writing or through direct communication via phone call or WhatsApp.”
The party also urged people who have reports on such issues to contact Chairman of the Adhoc Committee, Ing. Dr. Kwasi Abeasi and Secretary to the Committee, Mr. Mark Opoku.
