Nana Akuffo Addo Elected as NPP’s Flag Bearer Again

For the third time, Nana Addo Danwah Akuffo Addo has been elected as the flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). Nana Akuffo Addo, who managed to secure an overwhelming victory, contested against Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen (a former Minister of Trade and Industry in the Kuffuor administration) and Francis Addai-Nimoh (Member of Parliament for Mampong).

Out of the total number of votes cast by over 140,000 delegates in the 276 constituencies across the country, Nana Akuffo Addo had 117, 413 votes, Alan Kyerematen had 5,908, whilst Addai-Nimoh pulled 1,128. Statistically, this represents 94.35 %, 4.75% %, and 0.91% % respectively.

In 2008 and 2012, Nana Akuffo Addo led the NPP to contest for the presidential seat in the country’s general elections but lost on those two occasions to John Evans Atta Mills and John Dramani Mahama respectively who contested on the tickets on the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

According to some of the delegates interviewed, Nana Akuffo Addo has over the time proved to be a very loyal member of the party than the other two contenders. As one of them puts it, “it’s time to reward him for his outstanding loyalty to the party.”

Even though Nana Akuffo Addo won the election by a huge margin, some of the party’s supporters are still not happy. This is because they are of the view that Alan Kyerematen and Addai-Nimoh did not even deserve to get a single vote out of the total votes cast.

They are very hopeful that the elected flag bearer, Nana Addo Dankwah Akuffo Addo, will lead the party to the ‘promised land’ in 2016 and deliver Ghanaians from the ‘torture’ and ‘slavery’ they (Ghanaians) are going through from the current ruling party – NDC.

In your opinion, do you think Nana Akuffo Addo is the right person to lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP), after losing twice in the country’s general elections?

      • I am a party secretary in CPP so am not emotionally charged like you and refusing to see fundamental logic. Even within the npp there are strong individuals who will do anything to ensure Nana does not win and ure crying about Afari-Gyan who is due for retirement and can not affect the 2016 election. Seriously? Seat there and refuse to understand while making excuses. Nana will loss and the trend will follow unless drastic in-house restructuring is achieved.

      • Ndc has the power of incumbency so tht means more stolen resources to boost their campaign. NPP shd have brought new strategies tht ndc are not used to or expecting. As for Nana, they are more than ready for him. In fact this is what ndc wants. The same mouth-mouth of npp run them down in 2012. It wasn’t Afari-Gyan. The mouth-mouth has already started again as if they have forgotten that a few weeks ago they had cutlasses in the headquarters. NPP is soo internally divided that they can not win 2016 eventhough they are intelligent. Majority of Nana’s 2016 sabotage will come from within his party. That is how the story will surely end becos there is too much ego and power drunk figures in npp

  5. ewes and northerners will still vote for ndc despite the hardships we’re going through under the corrupt ndc administration.

    • The biggest threat is Alan and his boys as well as some prominent and powerful personalities within npp who are not happy abt nana’s refusal to retire at his shyous age. They have sworn to do whatever it takes to sabotage him in 2016. This is not a battle Nana will win because his enemies are within. Ewes, Northerners and Afari-Gyan are nana’s friends compared to what Kuffour, Alan and Co will do to him. This is going to be an interesting ride, wait and see.

    • Agreed, but they cant hold the country hostage, something has to happen 2016, we cant go on with this incompetent, useless, visionless govt. The hardship going on in ghana now is too much.

    • First of all, start being enlighten by attacking the sperms who produced you. Was it necessary to mention any tribes? You define the word ignorant on this platform. You disgust the entire nation with your tribal behavior. Get a life and stop depending on a better ghana.

  7. Is it an issue of Nana Addo or we want a better Ghana? With Mahama and his bunch of Ewe and Northerners who have disappionted us still in charge, we should give Nana or whoever is the alternative the chance to take Ghana out of this mess. Even if Nana is bad, he is not as bad as Mahama so wise people will opt for him over Mahama. But this is Ghana we are talking about where in the VOLTA they just vote along tribes not for the person with the capacity

    • Ashanti region also votes along tribes so shut up with your senseless tribalistic direction in your baseless argument. It is rather ppl like u who slow Ghana down when u speak in 2014 as if it’s the stone age!

      • Dummy, how many Asantes and other tribes do you have residing in your hell hole volta region. You better show some respect to the most respected and accomodating tribe in Ghana.

          • Says me and every honest, Ghanaian who is not a liar. How many tribes are “Accommodated” in your part of the country? You barely “accommodate” people who do not want to speak your language. The Ga’s have let all tribes be in Accra. That is what has contributed to the peaceful coexistence we have in Accra. Imagine if the capital were located in another ethnic territory. It would have been a different story. So yes, most honest Ghanaians know Ga’s are the most accommodating.

        • No u shut…blue rose is dead on right. Without the ga’s y’all ashantis won’t have a life with the wealth otumfuor is sitting on (no shade but true)…have u forgotten “maame ne paapa eei..me ko krokese no mo” what the hell for, if not for the dream? So U shut up.

  9. It’s about time ghanaians stop this whole tribalism nonsense,specially ewes(my mom is ewe btw) and the ignorance and think of the change that our future needs. I believe in nana and the main reason his own people will try and do all they can to turn against him is, when nana gets in power, all dem corrupt npp leaders are going down. I remember he was asked a question about what he’ll do to combat corruption in ghana when he gets in power? He said “I’ll first start with my house, I’ll clean my house first before I get on the rest”…now that’s a threat most of them have not taken lightly. Now this is a man we want to be in control and lead this nation to where it’s suppose to be heading. Ghanaians must wake up and start making the right decisions, the right choice this time around and that is nana addo danquah akuffo addo.

    • eishhhhhhhh lol don’t mind that looser called rage or stripper. She’s always bitter for nothing. My kid sis is about to marry an ewe man and guess what? She called me and said sis my b/f is from the volta please don’t start your tribal war when we visit. I couldn’t help it than to laugh, i always enjoy messing with them. On some real thing, Nana Addo is what the country needs right now. Seriously he has what it takes to fix our current situation. Mahama needs to go, If the electoral commission would be fair enough and declare the right winner then our country aka Gold coast would be back to normal.

Weren’t you spewing garbage about that good for nothing hardcore tribalists ewes sometime ago on this site? Now you side with them. Lol, you can go to hell. We all know you can’t express an honest opinion on any specific matter. You just crave for unnecessary attention! You’re just annoying. You’re all over the place with your fake self.

        • Base i think you not reading right on her comment. From what she mentioned, show’s she dislike ewes and her blood sister was given her the advance warning ahead before meeting the in law. You didn’t had to typed all this funny english to down grade your level of intelligence. Now you are calling for more war. I remember her being against ewes along with the lisa girl daily. You need to read, understand and reply to people’s comment. Your level of comprehension is a little bit slow here. From her story, her relative is aware of what she could do or say to her man thats why she called to warn her. B/w is a free website we all comes here to crave attention just like the way you are doing now so respect others to hang in here.

          • You shouldn’t have replied her, am not surprise some people are always in here for attention. If she had taken a few second to glance through my first paragraph, this unnecessary insults wouldn’t have come out from her.

        • Where in her comment did she side with ewes? This is serious than i thought. You are not smart at all and comments don’t fits you. If you are the same person she mentioned above then why don’t you simply use the same name to reply her than the name base. Don’t even bother your self, after her long break my friend came back all sober without any harm so continue to follow her with insults. You call someone Dumb hypocrite yet you cant read between common sentences. Did she say she was marrying an ewe or her sister. Am so sad on your level of understanding with comments. Would have been nicer if Chris ban people like you who cant read and understand comments.
