“I want to thank the people of Ghana for maintaining their confidence in the leadership of our nation...I also want to assure the 6.2 million people who didn’t vote for me that I will have their interest at heart and in mind in all that I do,” said President-elect Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
Akufo-Addo was speaking at a Thanksgiving Service held today at the Forecourt of the State House.
The event which was to thank God for emerging victorious in the 2020 General Election was on the theme: "Ebenezer, thus Far the Lord Has Helped Us; For the Battle is the Lord's".
According to the President-elect, “It has been a constant theme of our work that the battle is the Lord’s. So today we have the opportunity to give Him thanks for making it possible for this victory for the NPP and also for continuing to secure the peace of our country".
“We have to take the lead in bringing into fruition the main teaching of this election: which is that all persons of goodwill, no matter their political affiliation, have to work together to secure the peace prosperity, and progress of our nation...The occasion has enabled the NPP government to renew its commitment to the promotion of democracy and good governance” he added.
He further expressed appreciation to party executives, supporters for helping the party emerge victorious in the December 7 poll.
He also thanked "the clergy who have participated in today’s ceremony and for the clergy who, over the last four years, continue to pray for the peace of our nation and the success of our government.”
Meanwhile, President Akufo-Addo is set to be sworn in on January 7, 2021, to usher him into his second term in office.

"elections are won at the polling stations" Dr. Afari Gyan tells the NPP to go to court. it was claim then that the elections were stolen. is that the first time the elections had been stolen . was Atuguba fair on the bench? it is all about improving the supervision of elections by all parties. the NDC should not cause any social disturbances, this is not the first time and probably it may not be the last time. chill my brothers and sisters. the NPP has won. give it them and stop these noises.
SO you guys don't believe that the election was stolen? Its pathetic that some people still believe these serpents and their mother, the CEO of the country
@Fii Pls where is your evidence? This attitude of NDC trying to peddle lies to the extent of making them truths shd stop. It's only a court of competent jurisdiction that can overturn elections results so you guys shd go there and let's ascertain what actually happened and stop wasting our ears.
You steal an election and have the effrontery to thank God for being successful in conniving with the EC, the police and the military to first suppress votes and finally padded votes after killing people.
I doubt if the NDC understands such a language. Listen to their party leadership and you would bear with me that they could never understand such a language. It is definately alien to the NDC's temperament.
