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. In a statement released on July 14, 2025, the former President’s office described the claims — published by Otecmghana and GhanaWeb — as “completely false.” The reports had suggested that Akufo-Addo sought to overturn the party’s decision on early primaries and push for a postponement of the much-anticipated July 19 conference. “For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state emphatically that these reports are completely false,” the statement read. The Office clarified that former President Akufo-Addo has been out of the country for some time and has not sub...

You have been a worthy opponent – Mahama to Akufo-Addo

President John Dramani Mahama has described former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as a worthy opponent in the game of politics. Delivering his inaugural address at the Independence Square in Accra on Tuesday, Mr Mahama said the handing over ceremony “feels a bit like a déjà vu,” as they both had handed over to each other in their leadership roles. "That is because eight years ago on this day, on January 7, 2017, we shared this same space and performed this same transitional exercise," he added. "At the time, I was the outgoing president, having served one term, and he was the incoming president, having been given a mandate by the people of Ghana to lead this great nation of ours". "He and I both understood on that day, as I'm sure we are today, that it is the people of G...
