The two-time presidential candidate of the main opposition New Patriotic Party has urged losers in the party?s just-ended annual national delegates? conference in the northern regional capital Tamale not to abandon ship.
In a statement to congratulate the new executives, Akufo-Adda said: ?I reiterate, once again, my appeal to all former executives to stay engaged in the activities of the Party.?
According to him, ?internal party contests are not about winners and losers. They are about the party winning. We should all, in the true spirit of our party?s tradition, rally behind our new national officers to strengthen our resolve and singleness of purpose to capture power in 2016.?
He also said it was important the new executives closed ranks with their predecessors for unity and oneness of purpose.
?I also urge our new national officers to reach out and bring on board their fellow competitors who were not victorious on the day,? adding that: ?This is the only way we can forge ahead, as a united party, in our quest to restore hope to Ghanaians.?
Beside extending his personal congratulations to the newly elected chairman Paul Afoko, and the other national officers, Nana Akufo-Addo congratulated the party for a successful conference.
?I congratulate the party for the peaceful, credible, efficient and successful manner in which the elections for our national executives were conducted. It has been exciting and competitive. The high level of participation, enthusiasm and camaraderie that this election generated among our activists gives an indication of their collective energy and commitment to the struggle ahead in 2016.?
He said: ?We should all remember that the Ghanaian people are looking up to us to provide a strong, positive direction to deliver them from the failing government of the NDC. We should not fail them.?
