The governing New Patriotic Party(NPP) has admonished party communicators across the country not to attempt launching foul attacks on their opponents as the 2020 campaign takes of.
“We specifically ask that no reference should ever be made to opponents’ ethnicity, religion or gender,” a statement issued by the Deputy Manager of the NPP 2020 Campaign team, Mustapha Abdul-Hamid said.
He rather urged communicators to dwell on the party’s record and propagate the feat chalked by the Akufo-Addo-led administration.
“We shall campaign on our record and win. Indeed, there is enough to speak about with regard to our record. We cannot beat our opponents in the politics of calumny. Let us therefore refrain,” Mustapha Hamid said.
