In a Facebook post, President Akufo-Addo stated that the election demonstrated their deep attachment to the NPP's timeless values and principles.
“I congratulate warmly the new National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Mr Stephen Ayesu Ntim, and the other National Officers who were elected at the Party’s National Delegates’ Conference, held at the Accra Sports Stadium, on Saturday, 16th July, 2022.
“Once again, we, in the NPP, have demonstrated that we are the Party that is committed to the tenets of multi-party democracy.
“We have elected a team of Officers with a deep attachment to the timeless values and principles of the Party and its tradition, and who will steer affairs of the party for the next four years. They are the national face and voice of our Party, and they will set the tone and the pace of our election campaign in 2024,” he wrote.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo also charged the new leadership of the party to work assiduously towards “Breaking the 8,” while ensuring that the NPP progresses.
“As I indicated on Saturday, the NPP is at its best when we are united and operating as a focused entity. I, thus, urge all in the NPP to unite strongly behind our new national officers, for it is only by working together that we can “Break the Eight” and help deliver progress and prosperity to the Ghanaian people,” he wrote.
The president also praised the Electoral Commission and the media for their roles in making the weekend a success.
The election was attended by over 5,000 delegates. They included NPP members from all 16 regions of Ghana, as well as some from the NPP's diaspora branches.
In total, 46 candidates competed for the NPP's ten national executive positions.
