President Akufo-Addo has advised the newly elected New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidates in ‘orphan’ constituencies to exercise moderation in their celebrations.
He stressed that observing restraint is crucial for garnering the support of their colleagues and securing victory for the NPP in the upcoming 2024 general elections.
Additionally, he encouraged them to extend their support to the party’s presidential candidate for the 2024 election, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, in the pursuit of breaking the eight-year election cycle.
“So, I urge all winners to be magnanimous in their celebrations and work hard to bring on board those who were not successful.
“Through this, we shall create the united, formidable front that, under the leadership of our new, worthy presidential candidate, Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, will enable us to go into the difficult 2024 elections with quiet confidence, and, with the help of Almighty God, Break the Eight, which is the fervent wish of all NPP members, and, indeed, of all well-meaning Ghanaians.”
The party organised the primary on December 2 and 3 in 111 constituencies without its sitting MPs.
The election produced winners such as Dr BERNARD Oko Boye, who secured NPP’s parliamentary candidacy for the Ledzokuku constituency, after losing the seat in 2020.
Akosua Manu, the Deputy CEO of the National Youth Authority, emerged as the winner in the Adentan primary, while her colleague Pius Enam Hadzide was successful in the Asuogyaman constituency.
