“Divisive NPP Aspirants Are Like the Woman in Solomon’s Judgment” - Kojo Oppong Nkrumah
As the race for the NPP’s 2026 presidential flagbearer heats up, veteran MP and party stalwart Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has issued a strong warning against divisive tactics by some aspirants likening them to the biblical “woman in Solomon’s judgment.”
In a recent appeal to party faithful, he urged all potential candidates to remember that they are first and foremost members of one political family. He stressed that personal attacks, tribal- or religion-based campaigning, and reckless rhetoric threaten unity and risk tearing the party apart just like the biblical reference to a mother who cared only for her own claim, rather than the child’s welfare.
“Let us air our views respectfully,” Oppong Nkrumah said, warning that insults and personal attacks now would make post-primaries reconciliation difficult.
He called on aspirants to shift focus instead of stoking divisions toward uniting behind shared goals and building consensus so that, whoever wins, all party members can rally behind the flagbearer and strive for victory in 2028.
As NPP prepares for its primaries slated for January 31, 2026, his remarks reinforce growing calls within the party for civility, unity, and a clean, issue-based contest rather than divisive politicking.
