President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Thursday called on the leaders of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to remain focused and united to ensure the stability and progress of the party.

He said infighting and finger pointing would create hostile volatility for the party, which in turn could lend the opposition serious political capital.

“The most important thing for us at this point is to stay together … is to strengthen our unity and maintain our morale,” he said in a meeting with regional NPP leaders and Presidents of the constituencies of the Greater Accra region. , at the Jubilee House, Accra.

“If we’re going to put a lot of energy into pointing fingers at each other, none of these things will be achieved,” he tells them.

The president told party officials what should keep them busy is countering the false accounts the opposition was spreading about the December 2020 election result.

“So I really want you to have this in mind, you will have something else, very important in mind, these NDC folks are making so much noise, we won we won, remember they started , once we even went to 145 seats., they could never be entirely clear how many with 139, 140, 141, 145, Mahama had won the election.

“All of this has turned out to be wrong, and we must remember that since Jerry John Rawlings left the presidential political scene in our country, no NDC presidential candidate has won more than 51% of the vote. His successor Mills, in his first round against Kufour 44 percent, second round 47 percent.

“When he arrived at the second time against Kufour the same numbers and in 2008. When he contested against me after three rounds, he got 50.03% of the vote. Mahama in 2012, got 50.7, in 2016, 44% of the votes, in 2020, 47% of the votes.

“What these numbers tell us is that every time we put our actions together, we win,” he said.

President Akufo-Addo reinforced the fact that “the majority is with us, so let us be very clear in our minds, our screaming opponent does not have the support of the majority of the people of our country”.

“So the future of Ghana, the future of this country is in our hands. It is the function of our behavior, of our organization that will determine how the country will move forward as well,” he said.
