Former President Akufo-Addo has vehemently denied recent reports claiming he attempted to overturn the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) decision on early primaries and postpone the July 19 National Delegates Conference.
In a press release issued today, July 14, 2025, the Office of the Former President stated that two separate publications on Otecfmghana and Ghanaweb made these allegations.
“For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state emphatically that, these reports are completely false,” the statement read. It further clarified that former President Akufo-Addo has been out of the jurisdiction for some time and has not made any such requests to the party, either by petition or any other means, nor does he harbor any such intentions.
The former president’s office suggested that those behind the publications have an agenda unrelated to improving the NPP’s fortunes.
