Imperatively, the inauguration was gracefully chaired by Nana Kofi Boateng (The Asantefoohene of the greater Washington area) and subsequently co-chaired by Ms. Stella Green.

Chairman Wontumi, characteristically charged the audience with his sterling optimistic speech that was climaxed with a high level of motivation by re-echoing the need for all NPP (New Patriotic Party) members not to be afraid of all the intimidating tactics that are mostly adopted by the NDC (National Democratic Congress) on the day of general elections and that the NPP has what it takes to counteract them. He stated that in every dispensation God unveils a savior who rises up to the occasion to save his people.

Mr. Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko an astute lawyer and the former director of the Danquah Institute re- echoed the peaceful nature of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo- Addo and how Nana Addo averted a possible bloodshed when the country was at the brink of internal war right after the 2012 General elections of Ghana and his quick acceptance of the supreme court verdict in his quest to ensure peace in Ghana. He was optimistic of Nana Addo’s ability to present a formidable front for a resounding victory for the NPP during the 2016 general elections of Ghana.
