The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has congratulated former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings on her election as the flagbearer of the National Democratic Party.
"I congratulate warmly Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings on her election, on Saturday, April 30, 2016, as the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Party (NDP) for the 2016 elections" he said in a statement.
According to Nana Addo, Nana Konadu's "wealth of experience in Ghanaian politics should put her in good stead to help steer and shape the nature of our political discourse from one of attrition, personality attacks and negative preoccupations to an issues-based campaign, hinged on the competition of policies and ideas. That is how the public interest of our nation can be best served. The New Patriotic Party and I welcome her into the race for the Presidency and wish her well".
Nana Konadu who went unopposed, was re-elected at the NDP’s Congress at the Trade Fair Center in Accra on Saturday April 30.
The Congress saw the former first lady’s two daughters, Amina and Yaa Asantewaa as well as former President Jerry Rawlings making an appearance to support her.
