President Nana Akufo-Addo has called on delegates to elect executives who can help the New Patriotic Party (NPP) remain in power after the 2024 general election.
Addressing the party at its annual national delegates’ conference in Accra on Saturday (16 July), Akufo-Addo said unity is key in breaking the eight, therefore the new executives should be able to hold the party together in the lead up to the next election.
“It’s our historic duty to maintain the NPP in office under a new candidate and under a new leader,” Akufo-Addo told the delegates gathered at the Accra Sports Stadium.
“An important step towards that victory is the work we’re going to do today,” the president said ahead of the elections. “Let’s make sure that we elect men and women who can hold us together and enable us to work together to be able to surmount our mantra breaking the eight.”
He added: “We shall break the eight in 2024.”
