Former President Akufo-Addo

Former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has firmly denied claims that he has written to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) proposing changes to the scheduled dates for the party’s National Delegates Conference and presidential primaries.

In a statement issued by his office, the former President clarified that he has not suggested the postponement of either the July 19, 2025, National Delegates Conference or the January 31, 2026, presidential primaries.

He emphasised that he respects the structures and procedures of the party and has not made any attempt to interfere with the established timelines.

Akufo-Addo further explained that he was not present at the National Council meeting where the dates were decided, and he will also be absent from the upcoming conference on July 19.

However, he intends to send a goodwill message to be read at the event.

Addressing ongoing speculation, the former President urged party members who have concerns about the set dates to follow the appropriate party procedures to have their grievances addressed.

“I have not commented on the dates, and I do not intend to do so,” Akufo-Addo noted, reaffirming his commitment to party unity and due process.
