Akufo-Addo: NPP elections must be clean, dignified

The 2012 Presidential Candidate of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has urged his party members to go about the forthcoming internal elections cleanly.

Nana Akufo-Addo, who is currently in the UK taking some time off politics after Ghana’s apex Court declared President John Mahama as the validly elected president in the election petition case, says it is important the NPP forges ahead in unity toward the 2016 polls.

“I call on all members of the party to go through these next few months of elections of party officers in a most dignified manner,” he urged.

He said: “We must keep it clean and convivial so that we can all get back together, to strategise together, and work together to secure victory together in 2016”.

The party has set March 1, 2014 for its national congress to elect a flagbearer for the 2016 elections.

Various polling station, constituency, regional and national executive elections will be held before the national delegates’ congress.

Nana Akufo-Addo is expected back in the country soon after which he will announce whether to run for a third consecutive time or bow out to pave way for others.
