Former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has praised the Presidential Election Committee of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for what he described as an impressive and transparent execution of its mandate ahead of the party’s presidential primary scheduled for Saturday, January 31.
In a statement reflecting on a briefing he received, Nana Akufo-Addo disclosed that the Committee formally briefed him on the activities undertaken so far in planning and executing the upcoming primary.
According to him, the Committee’s work stands out for its clarity, openness, and strict adherence to democratic principles.
“The Committee’s work, thus far, has been nothing short of impressive,” the former President noted, stressing that key milestones have been achieved under a firm commitment to zero tolerance for opacity.
He added that this approach has not only ensured transparency but has also “guarded religiously the sanctity of the process.”
The commendation underscores growing confidence within the party in the credibility of its internal electoral process.
The Presidential Election Committee is chaired by Joseph Osei-Owusu, a former First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, whose leadership has been widely credited for the orderly, inclusive, and principled manner in which the Committee has discharged its duties.
Under his stewardship, the Committee has consistently emphasized fairness, stakeholder engagement, and strict adherence to party regulations.
Party insiders say the Committee’s work signals the NPP’s commitment to democratic values and internal accountability as it prepares to elect a flagbearer for the next general election.
With the presidential primary drawing closer, Nana Akufo-Addo’s endorsement is expected to further boost confidence among party delegates, aspirants, and the general public in the integrity of the process being led by Mr Osei-Owusu and his team.
