The 2008 New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has congratulated members and officers of the party for the successful elections across all ten regions. He noted that the elections were conducted in a peaceful, credible and efficient manner ensuring that they were exciting and competitive. In a statement issued on Monday, Nana Addo stated that “the high level of participation, enthusiasm and camaraderie that these series of elections generated among our activists are indications of their collective energy and commitment to the struggle ahead in 2012”. He intimated that though it has been a difficult task nominating approximately 105,000 polling station officers, nearly 4,000 constituency officers and some 170 regional officers, this phase of reorganizing the party has come to a successful conclusion with Monday’s Regional Conference at the party’s largest stronghold, the Ashanti Region. “I congratulate the Chairman, Mr. Frederick Fredua Anto and the new executives, and wish them, along with all the other regional officers across the country, the very best," he said. “I congratulate Mr. Robert Yaw Amankwa and all former executives across the country for their service and dedication to the cause of the party over the years and I urge all who participated in the elections, winners and losers alike, to continue to see themselves as members of the great elephant family,” Nana added. He advised all who contested, whether they won or lost, to rally behind the new party officers in order to strengthen “our resolve and singleness of purpose to capture power in 2012”. “We should all remember that the Ghanaian people are looking up to us to provide a strong, positive alternative to the failing government of the NDC. We cannot fail them,” he emphasized. By: Dorcas Efe Mensah/Myjoyonline.com
