President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has reaffirmed his confidence in Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s potential victory in the upcoming 2024 general elections.
During an address to the chiefs and people of Wa, President Akufo-Addo emphasized his belief that John Dramani Mahama of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) cannot secure the presidency because he has previously lost to him twice.
Expressing gratitude for the support received during his tenure, President Akufo-Addo conveyed his intention to return to Wa with the New Patriotic Party’s flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, as his successor.
He clarified that he would not hand over power to John Dramani Mahama, whom he defeated and removed from office in 2016, asserting his commitment to the party’s leadership succession plan with Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as the chosen successor.

“Before the election is held, I am going to come here and pay my proper goodbye to you and thank you for the cooperation that I received from you when I was president. God willing, when I come, I will come with the man who is going to be my successor.”
“Wa Naa, you know that the man I removed from the seat, I cannot have him as my successor and as a traditional ruler, you understand what I am saying.”
“Our country is known as the pacesetter for democratic government across the entire continent of Africa. I want to assure you that this year we are going to maintain that reputation. But I need your support and cooperation.”
“I want us to work together to make sure that the peace and stability of our country is maintained all through the electioneering period and after,” he added.
The President pledged his unwavering commitment to ensuring peace before, during, and after the December polls.
