I will fully support Akufo-Addo for 2016: Kufuor
Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has pledged
his unflinching support for Nana Akufo-Addo’s
bid to unseat the NDC government in 2016.

“I assure him of my full support as he attempts
to win power for the great NPP and relieve
Ghanaians of their suffering from the NDC
government,” Mr. Kufuor said in a statement.

After months of grueling campaigns, the two time
presidential candidate was massively endorsed by
the party on Saturday as its flag-bearer. He
polled 117,413 of the total ballot cast
representing an overwhelming 94.35 per cent. Alan
Kyeremanten managed a paltry 5,908 votes
representing 4.75 per cent with Addai Nimoh
obtaining 1,128 votes representing 0.91 per cent.

The former President said the landslide victory is
an indication that the rank and file of the party
want Nana Akufo-Addo to lead the party into the
2016 general elections.

“I congratulate Nana Addo on his resounding and
emphatic victory,” he applauded.

To wrest power from the Mahama-led administration,
Nana Akufo-Addo has to take immediate steps to
build a strong and united front in the party, he
urged.

“He should put aside all disagreements during
the campaign and embrace his competitors in a show
of real leadership steeped in democracy,” the
former President underscored.

In commending Alan Kyerematen and Mr. Addai Nimoh
for putting up a good fight, Mr. Kufuor admonished
them to rally their supporters to campaign
assiduously for Nana Akufo-Addo.
