The Upper East Regional Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Peter Ayinbisa, has appealed to delegates to prioritise experience over experimentation as they prepare to elect the party’s next regional communications director.
Speaking on A1 Radio monitored by BolgaFM, the incumbent, who is seeking re-election, said the communications wing requires proven leadership as the party prepares for the 2028 general elections.
“Experience is more important because you can’t throw away the baby with the bath water. We have come this far because of the things we have done before,” he said.
According to him, while many party members have communicated on behalf of the NPP, leading a regional communications team requires a different level of responsibility and expertise.
Ayinbisa stressed that his campaign is not intended to undermine his opponents but to highlight the value of his years of service.
“I’m not the type who would sit here and run somebody down because we are contesting ourselves. All of us are good. We all have the pedigree to lead the communications wing, but people should be counting on experience,” he stated.
The incumbent cited his eight years as Bongo Constituency Chairman, four years as a district executive and his current tenure as Regional Communications Director as evidence of his readiness to continue leading the party’s communications machinery.
He also recalled narrowly missing the Regional Organiser position in 2022 by just 28 votes, describing the experience as part of the leadership journey that has prepared him for the current contest.
Ayinbisa said the NPP’s focus should be on consolidating its communication strategy rather than testing new leadership ahead of the 2028 elections.
“It’s not time to test. It’s not time to begin to say, ‘Give me the opportunity so I also try.’ Election 2028 is going to be a different ballgame, and experience is going to count a lot,” he said.
The incumbent is contesting the position against Johnson Ayine and Dr. Samuel Akongo.
