Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO) has cautioned party members against engaging in tribal and religious politics as Ghana prepares toward the 2028 general elections, warning that such divisions pose a threat to national unity and democratic stability.
Addressing party faithful, NAPO stressed that Ghana’s strength lies in its diversity and shared national identity, not in ethnicity or religious affiliation. He noted that elections should be contested on ideas, competence, and track records, rather than sentiments that divide citizens along tribal or faith-based lines.
According to him, resorting to tribal and religious politics undermines the country’s democratic gains and distracts from real issues such as economic growth, job creation, education, and development.

He urged party members to conduct themselves responsibly and focus on policies that resonate with the everyday needs of Ghanaians.
NAPO further called on political actors to promote tolerance, mutual respect, and peaceful engagement, especially as political activities intensify in the lead-up to the 2028 polls.
He emphasised that political competition must not come at the cost of social cohesion and national peace.
He encouraged party supporters to serve as ambassadors of unity in their communities, adding that leadership built on inclusiveness and national interest remains the surest path to winning public trust and sustaining Ghana’s democracy.
