President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has categorically denied endorsing one of the candidates running to lead the New Patriotic Party in the 2024 elections.
Nana Akufo-Addo stated that his responsibility as president is to ensure the NPP’s victory in the next elections.
Nana Akufo-Addo stated during a meeting with NPP Communicators at the Jubilee House that the claim that government machinery is being used to favor a candidate is incorrect and should be regarded with the disdain it deserves, adding that he cannot force a candidate on the party.
“The assertions by some in the party that government is somehow allegedly ‘intimidating or coercing party faithful to throw their weight or support behind one of the presidential aspirants…the allegation is being made that the government is putting its authority behind the Vice President. I want to say in very clear terms to you and to the world that it is a false and malicious narrative.
“There is not a single truth to it. That is why I can beat my chest to it and I can say without any fear of contradiction that there is no one in the party, there is not a single person in the NPP who can say that I have asked him or her to support this or that aspirant. I haven’t done it and I know why I haven’t done it,” he emphasised.
