New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, Dr. Bryan Acheampong, has urged the party to make decisions guided by strategy rather than emotions.
According to him, past emotionally driven decisions have contributed to the party’s setbacks and periods in opposition.
Citing the decision not to contest the Tamale Central by-election, Dr. Acheampong stressed that if he had been in charge, the party would have fielded a candidate.
He made these remarks while addressing delegates of the party.
“The NDC always shows us the way. No emotion. We hurriedly decided not to contest in the Tamale Central by-elections; the NDC said they will contest for the Akwatia by-election. We easily get carried away by emotions when we have to do politics,” he said.
He continued, “For me, I would have contested Tamale. Death brought about the by-elections, but we are a political party, so if we are to contest the Tamale seat and test how the 2028 elections will be, we should have done that”.
