Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the President, says he is convinced that the next flagbearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) will win the 2024 elections.
On Thursday, August 5, 2021, he said this at the NPP’s 29th anniversary celebration.
“Today, the challenges that our country faces, the difficulties that the COVID-19 pandemic has thrown us into, will give us the opportunity to grow stronger and stronger, and that strengthening of our party and its organs means one thing, and I am very confident that the new NPP presidential candidate will win the election on December 7, 2024.”
He also urged the party to keep its ranks together and remain unified in order to win the 2024 elections.
“Our goal and responsibility is to do everything in our power to ensure that victory is achieved. In Ghana, we need to keep moving forward. We can’t keep putting up with the occasional backsliding. It has not benefitted our country and will not benefit our country in the future. The foundations for our nation’s prosperity that we are constructing today will be shattered if, once again, we allow the road of progress to be diverted through our own fault.”
Party unity should take precedence above local concerns.
Mr. Freddie Blay, the party’s National Chairman, also took the occasion to encourage NPP members to emphasize the party’s unity in order to help the party realize its goals.
“I’d like to challenge the members of the party to put the party’s unity ahead of their narrow interests. This is the only way we can maintain control of the government and our development contract with the Ghanaian people.”
“This is the only party that can offer it, and we must keep it that way,” he continued. “Regardless of our personal interests, we must be very united.”
The New Patriotic Party was created on July 28, 1992, with the goal of uniting like-minded residents of Ghana to fight for freedom and justice while also contributing to the country’s welfare, peace, and prosperity.
Since Ghana’s multi-party system began in 1992, the party has won four presidential elections.
