Daniel Ayine, an aspirant for the position of Regional Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has emphasized that leadership within the party must be built on respect, truth, and humility rather than arrogance and unnecessary showmanship.
Speaking in an interview on A1 Radio, Mr. Ayine noted that the role of a Regional Secretary comes with great responsibility, requiring honesty and respect for others.
“I don’t see any of my contestants beating me in the upcoming elections. Some of them are mature, and we respect each other. But one of them is arrogant, brags a lot, and lacks morality,” Mr. Ayine stated.
He recounted an encounter where he reached out to a fellow contestant for dialogue but was met with a “distasteful and disrespectful” response.
According to him, morality in politics should be about mutual respect, even during internal contests.
“Even if I had not called him, what would have happened? He even met me in the party, so I expected some level of courtesy. But I don’t panic. I am grounded, I don’t brag, and I don’t rely on social media noise,” he emphasized.
Mr. Ayine explained that his decision to move from his current position as Treasurer to contest for Regional Secretary was influenced by party members who believed he could serve better.
He disclosed that he had held several consultations, including with friends and senior party members, who encouraged him to step up.
“I have kept my campaign low-key, selling my message directly to delegates. The feedback has been positive. Many say they know me and believe I can serve better in this position,” he said.
Mr. Ayine remains confident that his calm, respectful, and truthful approach will give him the edge in the upcoming NPP internal elections.
