Aspiring New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr Bryan Acheampong, says he will support whoever emerges victorious in the party\u2019s presidential primaries, even if he does not win.<\/p>\n

Speaking on PM Express on Tuesday, the former Abetifi MP said party unity must come before personal ambition. <\/p>\n

He acknowledged that the NPP is currently divided and warned that hesitation to commit to party loyalty deepens internal cracks.<\/p>\n

When asked how divided the party is, he said it is clear there are tensions. <\/p>\n

He cited a recent incident involving another presidential aspirant who declined to answer whether he would support the eventual winner. <\/p>\n

The former Agric Minister described that posture as unhealthy. <\/p>\n

He said in a competitive political environment, an aspirant must be bold enough to commit to supporting the winning candidate as healthy competition demands.<\/p>\n

Dr Acheampong did not hesitate when the same question was put to him. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t have to ask me,\u201d he said. \u201cI will support whoever wins.\u201d <\/p>\n

He said that commitment stands even though he believes it is unlikely that anyone else would win. <\/p>\n

The former MP stressed that even in that scenario, he would still support the winner.<\/p>\n

Dr Acheampong said that it is the responsibility of both politicians and party members. He insisted that loyalty after internal contests is critical to party cohesion and electoral success.<\/p>\n

His comments come at a time when the NPP is preparing for a keenly contested internal race to elect a flagbearer ahead of the next general elections. <\/p>\n

The process has already triggered open competition among senior party figures, raising concerns about divisions and post-primary reconciliation.<\/p>\n

Dr Acheampong framed his position as a matter of principle, not strategy, stating that supporting the winner is \u201cwhat you do as a political party and as a politician.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
