Nana Addo-Dankwa Akufo-Addo, presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), said this year's general election is going to be comparing of the records of the NPP to those of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). He said no amount of lies, intimidation and insults would scare the NPP and that the end results after the elections would show that the NPP was far superior. Nana Akufo-Addo was addressing a mammoth rally at the Prempeh Assembly Hall in Kumasi on Thursday, during a visit to city to formally introduce himself to the people and thank members of the NPP in the region for their assistance to him. The Presidential candidate, who paid a courtesy call on the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and met the Kumasi Traditional Council, paraded through the principal streets of the Kumasi Metropolis and thanked the people. Nana Akufo-Addo expressed gratitude to the members and supporters of the party who attended the rally.

They all indicated that the party was committed to democracy and it behoved members and supporters of the NPP to remain united and campaign in as decent manner for the party to remain in power.
