Former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo addressed the New Patriotic Party's National Delegates Conference on October 3, 2026, at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi. He urged delegates to elect national officers capable of uniting the party and rebuilding its structures ahead of the 2028 general election. Akufo-Addo emphasized that the new leadership would work with the party's presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, and parliamentary candidates to pursue victory in the next election.
The conference provided an opportunity for the NPP to strengthen its structures and prepare for the 2028 presidential and parliamentary elections. Akufo-Addo stated that the gathering represented an important step in the party's reorganisation. He expressed confidence that delegates would rise above sectional interests and elect leadership capable of uniting the party's ranks and rebuilding its fortunes at every level.
Akufo-Addo called on delegates to put aside individual interests and elect leaders who could bring the party together. He noted that the task ahead would require commitment and sacrifice from members of the party. The former President, however, expressed confidence that the NPP could overcome challenges and return to government under Dr. Bawumia's leadership.
