Following the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Saturday parliamentary primaries, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has urged party members and supporters in order to come together and break the eight (8) in the 2024 general elections.
In a statement, the president added that if the poll winners and losers respect and adhere to the party’s legacy and “unite firmly behind our excellent presidential candidate and formidable parliamentary candidates,” they can win the general elections on December 7.
“The time-tested, honoured tradition that has kept the NPP as one indissoluble unit demands that the victor receives the unalloyed support of the candidates who were not successful at the polls. If we are to Break the Eight, which I know is very possible, then we must stay true to this tradition, unite firmly behind our excellent presidential candidate and formidable parliamentary candidates, and deliver another resounding victory for the party, and, thereby, continue the process of bringing progress and prosperity to every part of our country, an endeavour on which we are already fully embarked.”
In addition, he congratulated all of the victors and asked the losers and their backers to band together in order to help the NPP win control in the next national elections in December.
“We have elected a good blend of experienced and youthful parliamentary candidates, whom I warmly congratulate, and who, I am confident, will help secure a majority for the NPP in the ninth Parliament of the 4th Republic, and help return an NPP presidential candidate into office on 7th January 2025. I appeal to all who lost to remember that, in elections, there are winners and losers, and that today’s losers can be tomorrow’s winners.”
