On Wednesday, October 2, 2024, President Akufo-Addo is expected to start his campaign for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) 2024 presidential ticket, which includes Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and his running mate, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh. Additionally, the campaign will feature all of the party’s parliamentary candidates in all 276 constituencies.

Akufo-Addo will begin his campaign trail in the Upper East and Upper West Regions around 65 days prior to the 2024 presidential and legislative elections. It is his intention, according to people who are aware of the President’s schedule, to campaign and visit each of the 16 regions of the nation by December 7, 2024.

The President’s handlers informed the media once more that the President will leave the nation on Thursday, October 3, 2024, to go on an official assignment in France and Germany. He will continue his regional campaign for the NPP 2024 presidential ticket—which includes Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia and Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh—as soon as he returns.

On January 7, 2025, President Akufo-Addo will officially step down as head of state. He has made it clear that he is eager to pass over power to the person who ran alongside him in four of Ghana’s previous elections (2008, 2012, 2016, 2020). President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia each lost two of the four elections in 2008 and 2012 and won two in 2016 and 2020.

For the past few months, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the running mate, and Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia have been conducting a constituency-based campaign. Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the vice president, is presently campaigning in the Western Region, while Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, his running mate, is in the Ashanti Region.
