Flagbearer aspirant and former MP for Mampong Constituency, Francis Addai-Nimoh has called on all members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to rally behind the new leadership of the party to retain power come December 2024.

According to him, the utmost aim of the party was to capture power hence any internal divisions might distract the party from the goal.

Speaking at the outdooring of the new leader on Saturday, he said “I am committed to the course of the party and for history to be made in 2024 in breaking the eight, and for the party to stay in government for 12 years and for 16 years and beyond.”

He stressed that under the leadership of the visionary ‘It is Possible’ [Bawumia], the party can ‘break the eight' in the 2024 elections.

On the back of this, he called on all members of the party to be united to achieve that common goal adding that “it is better we stay in government than to go out of government.”

Again, he called on the leadership to work together to ensure that their victory is secured in the next elections.

Mr Addai-Nimoh pledged his unwavering support in ensuring that their dreams are fulfilled.

He seized the opportunity to congratulate the Vice President and flagbearer elect for his victory.
