Akufo-Addo stated, “I want to thank every single NPP person that for the last 16 years … I have one more task to do, and that is to dedicate all my strength and energy to help Bawumia win the elections of 2024. Ghana cannot afford the return of NDC, especially under the leadership of John Mahama. The election will not be easy, and we need unity.”

“You have shown that Ghana’s democracy is safe in your hands. I am confident that Mahamudu Bawumia will unite the party with the assistance of Ken Agyapong, Addai-Nimoh, and others to provide us with strong leadership,”
