Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the 2016 presidential candidate of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), on Saturday said the suspension of some of the executive members of the party has been a traumatic experience in his lifetime.

He said in the past 12 months he had participated tremendously in finding lasting solutions to the problems at the party’s headquarters, but he is worried that such efforts have not been fruitful.

Nana Akufo-Addo was addressing the party’s leadership, supporters and members at an emergency 15th extraordinary annual national delegates’ conference held in Sunyani on the theme ‘Arise for Change 2016.’

Nana Akufo-Addo called for concerted efforts in the electioneering, and asked members not to allow any machinations to weaken the structures and strength of the party.

He emphasised his readiness and eagerness to bring a positive change in the country, and, therefore, appealed to Ghanaians and the NPP members, supporters and sympathisers to join hands with him and the campaign team to effect the change in Election 2016.

The 2016 presidential candidate emphasised that a decentralised electioneering, which actively engages members at the grassroots, is required so that eligible voters at the grassroots would well understand the philosophies and ideologies of the party.

Nana Akufo-Addo, therefore, said electioneering is the responsibility of every loyal and committed member of the party.
