ADDRESS BY NANA
AKUFO-ADDO ON RESULTS OF NPP SPECIAL ELECTORAL
COLLEGE OF 31ST AUGUST 2014
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Media
Today, in accordance with our Party’s Constitution,
elections were held in our Party all across the
country to prune down the number of presidential
aspirants from 7 to 5.
I am very grateful for the decision of the Special
Electoral College and the confidence that its
delegates have reaffirmed in me by this overwhelming
endorsement, which gave me 80.81% of the votes cast.
I thank them for listening to the grassroots. When I
went around the country, all our delegates told me
that their people on the ground were calling for me.
The delegates gave me their promises and truly they
have delivered. I am really touched by that.
My special gratitude to my campaign team and all the
people who have worked tirelessly across the country
to put me in this position.
The overwhelming endorsement is truly humbling.
Today’s results show, I believe, that the party
continues to remain emphatically united behind me.
I congratulate the Party's leadership for organising
these elections peacefully and without any hitches.
I also congratulate my fellow contestants for
participating in this contest and for running such a
thorough campaign. We are all members of the great
elephant family, and I trust that we will all work
together to advance the cause of the NPP and, even
more importantly, of mother Ghana.
I, myself, reemphasize my commitment to working for
a united NPP, focused on a common opponent whom we
must beat convincingly in the 2016 elections. Our
nation must be put back again on the path to
prosperity. Even though the work ahead will be
arduous, I am confident that, together, we will
answer the call of the Ghanaian people for a new
beginning, a new path away from corruption,
incompetence and mismanagement. The youth and people
of our country need jobs, good education, quality
healthcare, decent housing and an enhanced standard
of living. Without running ahead of myself, I can
say that an NPP government under my leadership will
make these things a reality.
Together, we can rally the Ghanaian people to regain
confidence in our future. To believe in the bright
horizon and compelling prospects that await the
Black Star of Africa. To be convinced that, with
purposeful leadership, we can claim our rightful
position in the affairs of Africa and of the World.
We cannot and will not fail the people of Ghana. I
thank the Almighty God for his continued blessings
on Ghana, the NPP and myself.
Thank you.
