He acknowledged their contributions to the contest, stating that their participation strengthened internal democracy and showcased the depth of leadership within the party.
According to him, the aspirants did not weaken the NPP by contesting but rather expanded it by engaging members and enriching internal debate.
Addressing party executives and grassroots members nationwide, Afoko emphasised the need for cohesion following the conclusion of the internal contest.
He noted that while differences are inevitable in a democratic organization, unity must prevail once collective decisions are made.
“What binds us our commitment to individual liberty, the rule of law and shared prosperity must always outweigh temporary disagreements,” he stressed.
Afoko signed off the message as “Yours in Unity and Service,” reaffirming his commitment as an aspiring National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party.
