The impending by-elections in Kumawu, according to President Akufo-Addo, would be a crucial springboard for the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) triumph in the 2024 elections.
Speaking to a gathering of supporters yesterday at the NPP's final campaign event in Kumawu, the President stressed the importance of the by-election in determining the party's course for the general election of 2024.
The success of our campaign in the future elections depends on Kumawu.
Let's take advantage of this chance, rally our followers, and prepare the ground for an overwhelming win in 2024," the president stated.
A by-election will be held tomorrow to fill the seat of the late Philip Atta Basoah in the Kumawu constituency.
According to President Akufo-Addo, the Ashanti Region's Kumawu constituency's strategic importance served as a crucial cornerstone for the NPP's victory in the upcoming general election, and the support and momentum amassed there will spread across the country, paving the way for the NPP's victory in 2024.

Additionally, President Akufo-Addo said last Friday that the IMF loan's first tranche had been received.
He claimed that up to 29 African nations had approached the IMF for assistance; therefore, it could not be assumed that all of them had improperly handled their economies in order to do so.
Thus, the president debunked the idea that the nation needed IMF aid because it had mishandled the economy.
Before the epidemic, in his opinion, the nation was headed in the right direction.
President Akufo-Addo urged voters to support Ernest Yaw Anim, the NPP's candidate for parliament, in order to represent the party.
He exhorted the citizens of Kumawu to exercise caution and take part fully in the democratic process.
In keeping with the NPP's goal of growth, development, and peace, the President expressed confidence that Mr. Anim would win.
The present road initiatives in the constituency, according to President Akufo-Addo, were planned long before the death of the former MP. He urged the locals to disregard accusations that the rehabilitation efforts were being made by the government to influence them.
Simon Osei-Mensah, the Ashanti Regional Minister, also informed the gathering that in a December 2018 address to the Ashanti Regional House of Chiefs, he stated that the contractors would move to the project site by the end of the previous month to begin construction on the Kumawu road.
He emphasized the idea that the ongoing rehabilitation efforts weren't intended to dupe the locals into supporting the party just to turn on them later.
