Giving his word, President Akufo-Addo stated that one of his primary responsibilities is to assist the newly elected NPP flagbearer in winning the 2024 elections.
He pledged to use all of his resources to support Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in his bid to win the 2024 election.
Speaking on Saturday night, November 4, in Accra, President Akufo-Addo emphasized that Ghana could not afford the return of the NDC, particularly under the leadership of John Dramani Mahama. Vice-President Bawumia was recognized as the newly elected flagbearer and leader of the NPP.
In light of this, he has urged every party member to band together, work well together, and put in a lot of effort throughout the campaign.
“I am confident Mahamudu Bawumia with the assistance of his fellow contenders and all the other contestants will provide the New Patriotic Party (NPP), the strong leadership that will take on the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in 2024 and inflict a firm substantive defeat on John Dramani Mahama”, President Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo stated.
While acknowledging that the next year’s election would not be simple, the President expressed hope that “when we are united and courageous, God will make the way for us to be victorious on December 7, 2024.” President Akufo-Addo, along with Stephen Ntim, the National Chairman of the NPP, ceremoniously handed Dr. Bawumia the party’s flag to formally establish him as the new flagbearer and leader.
The President, who was clearly thrilled with the peaceful and successful primary, expressed gratitude to all party members, including the elections committee, polling station executives, electoral area coordinators, constituency executives, regional and national executives, and the council of elders.
He claimed that the events that followed proved beyond a doubt that the NPP was safeguarding Ghanaian democracy.
“You have demonstrated our party’s dedication to tradition and democratic values.
He continued, describing the procedure as being very transparent and calm. “I want to really thank you very much for proving to all Ghanaians that truly NPP understands democratic governance,” he said.
Dr. Bawumia received a lot of accolades from President Akufo-Addo for his accomplishments over the past sixteen years and his efforts to become flagbearer.
“Sixteen years of work with the party in opposition and in government has been rewarded by the party with this leadership that had been conferred upon you
“I am confident Mahamudu Bawumia with the assistance of his fellow contenders and all the other contestants, provide the party the strong leadership that will take on the NDC in 2024 and inflict a firm substantive defeat on John Dramani Mahama,” he emphasised.
He wished Dr. Bawumia well and offered hope that he would be able to bring the party together.
“Today I am passing on the flagbearer position of our party to a new leader and I want to thank every single NPP person that the last 16 years, 2007, 2010, 2014, and 2020 could confirm your confidence in me to lead this great party,” President Akufo-Addo said as he handed over the baton to the new flagbearer.
He declared that he would never, ever forget the honor bestowed upon him, since it had enabled him to support the party and, via it, the people of Ghana.
