Let me touch on the ongoing tribal and ethnic politics creeping in our dear Party the NPP, that has far-reaching implications not only for our Party, but the Society and the Country at large.

Political Parties are essential for Democracy and Governance, serving as platforms for diverse voices and perspectives.

However, when they become vehicles for Tribalism, Ethnicity, or Religious affiliation, we risk undermining the very fabric of our society.

Such divisions can lead to serious consequences that affect not only our political Party's stability but also social cohesion.

Infact the dirty Tribal Politics by Hon Ken's Running Mate, Hon. Naa Torshie (who I have a lot of respect for) and her camp are preaching, is not only endangering the foundation of the NPP, but Ghana's Democracy.

Tribal and Ethnic politics foster fragmentation within society. 

Why will that camp want to prioritize the interests of some specific groups over the collective good since it can create "US vs. THEM" mentality.

The NPP risk becoming  a collection of *fragmented Party with each vying for power and recognition rather than the common good of the Party*

Why does Naa Torshie and her group want to undermine the Party's foundational *Principles of Unity and Inclusivity?*

I struggle to understand what the motive is.

Do they know that, the manipulation of Tribal and Religious identities can lead to conflict and violence both in the Party and the nation Ghana?

Historical evidence points to the fact that political Leaders who *incite hatred or promote division* can ignite tensions that may result in civil unrest or even war. 

When Parties exploit these Identities for selfish Political gains, they *disregard the lives and well-being of countless individuals* leading to devastating consequences.

The *Humble and Visionary Dr Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia*, who is the obvious choice of the Delegates and other Contestants are going round Campaigning in a civil manner.

They are Campaigning base on *Policies and Ideologies, meaningful debate and moral suation* to get Delegates to Vote for them.

What Hon Naa Torshie and her camp are doing does not only lead to lack of *genuine Political engagement* but also diminishes the quality of Governance, as Elected officials might turn to prioritize the interests of their groups over the broader Electorates.

We had Internal Party Competitions since 1992 and it has never been so chaotic and dirty like we're witnessing now. 

Why so? What has changed? Who are those distractive elements?

The NPP Delegates must stay focused and not be carried away by this Tribal bigots whose only interest is their ambitions.

In conclusion, while it is natural for individuals to identify with their tribes, ethnicities, or religions, it is crucial for Political Parties like us transcend these divisions. 

We must as a Party strive for *Inclusive Politics that Promote Unity, Understanding, and Respect for Diversity*

Hon Naa Torshie and her likes must be told in the face, that the Party and indeed Ghanaians are not ready for their "Nonsense" and must be taught a bitter lesson, come *January 31* 

It is Only when we vote against these Tribal bigots that we can achieve a *truly Democratic, Unified, Inclusive and  Harmonious Party* as envisage by our Founders.

#Win With Bawumia
