Two of Ghana’s former presidents and members of the New Patriotic Party, John Agyekum Kufuor and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, will address the 2025 NPP National Delegates Congress virtually.
Stakeholders of the NPP from all levels across the country will be meeting for the first time in Accra this Saturday, July 19, since the party suffered a heavy defeat in last year’s presidential and parliamentary elections.
The two former presidents won’t be available for the Congress due to circumstances that have been described as “beyond their control.”
Immediate past President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, who has been out of the country for some time now, was already out of the jurisdiction when the party’s highest decision-making body, the National Council fixed July 19 as the date for the congress, and it is unclear that one month after the date was fixed, the former president would be able to return to the country in time for the event.
John Agyekum Kufuor, who participated in the party’s recent launch of its ideological institute, the Patriotic Institute, is unavailable this time.
Myjoyonline.com understands both leaders will address the Delegates Congress on Saturday virtually, as confirmed by sources close to the party’s top executives.
Monday afternoon, a National Council meeting was held ahead of the Congress at which the Council was said to have been informed that the two former presidents would address the Congress virtually.
