Akufo-Addo Denies Claims of Attempting to Postpone NPP National Delegates Conference

The Office of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has firmly denied recent media reports alleging that the ex-president attempted to interfere with the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) upcoming National Delegates Conference.
