“It’s our historic duty to maintain the NPP in office under a new candidate and under a new leader,” Akufo-Addo told the delegates gathered at the Accra Sports Stadium.

“An important step towards that victory is the work we’re going to do today,” the president said ahead of the elections. “Let’s make sure that we elect men and women who can hold us together and enable us to work together to be able to surmount our mantra breaking the eight.”

He added: “We shall break the eight in 2024.”
