Let us stay together and work<br \/>\nhard.\u00a0 I am very confident that by<br \/>\nDecember 2020, the EC would declare the NPP victorious,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He, therefore, urged the rank and file of the<br \/>\nparty to stay united, work hard and take the message of hope and development to<br \/>\nevery Ghanaian in the country. <\/p>\n<p>The President further urged party members to<br \/>\nstay united and eschew tendencies that would divide their ranks going into the<br \/>\nelection of party parliamentary candidates next April. <\/p>\n<p>He said there was the utmost need that that<br \/>\ncontest was held in a peaceful, sensible and serene manner because the whole<br \/>\ncountry would be looking at the NPP. <\/p>\n<p>Whilst he was certain that the April parliamentary<br \/>\nprimaries would produce both winners and losers, he stressed the need for the<br \/>\nparty and its members not to make it rancorous and bitter to divide the party, but<br \/>\ninstead stay united with a common goal and ambition to keep the NDC in<br \/>\nopposition.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>In all, more than 6,500 delegates drawn from<br \/>\nacross the country attended the conference. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Vice-President<br \/>\nMessage<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vice-President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia also gave an<br \/>\nindication that the ruling NPP was ready to ensure a massive second term<br \/>\nvictory for President Akufo-Addo.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Vice-President indicated that available<br \/>\nrecords suggested that the NPP government had performed better than all previous<br \/>\nNDC administrations hence the need to ensure the party stayed in power for some<br \/>\nmore years.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that guided by the retrogressive state<br \/>\nthe country witnessed, post the 2008 general elections, the NPP had no reason<br \/>\nto fail Ghanaians this time.<\/p>\n<p>Listing some achievements of the party, the Vice-President<br \/>\nindicated that available data at the disposal of the government suggested that<br \/>\nthe government, within its three years in government, had achieved 72 per cent<br \/>\nof its manifesto promises.<\/p>\n<p>That, he stated, was unprecedented in the Fourth<br \/>\nRepublic. He said the NPP, anytime it was in power, had proven to be better<br \/>\nmanagers of the economy than its opponents. He, therefore, urged Ghanaians to<br \/>\ngive the President some \u201cfour more years to do more\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He indicated that, for instance, on exchange<br \/>\nrate, the current government had performed better than all previous NDC<br \/>\ngovernments coming only second to the first term of the erstwhile Kufuor NPP<br \/>\nadministration. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe average exchange rate depreciation on a<br \/>\nyearly basis suggests that we have done 8.7 per cent as against the NDC\u2019s 18<br \/>\nper cent. On the exchange rate, we have performed better,\u201d the Vice-President<br \/>\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>He further stated that on electricity tariff,<br \/>\nthe NPP government on the average had reduced tariff by about 10 per cent since<br \/>\nit took power, saying \u201cthe NDC must be joking to think that it can perform<br \/>\nbetter than us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He outlined other achievements of the government,<br \/>\nchallenging the NDC members to point to a single social intervention policy<br \/>\nthat they can boast of.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conference\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, three major activities were held to<br \/>\nclimax the conference.<\/p>\n<p>A special Sunday church service in the morning,<br \/>\nand the main delegates\u2019 conference before climaxing the whole conference with a<br \/>\nmega rally at the forecourt of the Trade Fair Centre.<\/p>\n<p>A special report was read by former President<br \/>\nJohn Agyekum Kufuor on behalf of the party\u2019s Council of Elders. <\/p>\n<p>The Treasurer of the party, Abankwa Yeboah, also<br \/>\nread the party\u2019s financial statement to the over 6,500 delegates that were<br \/>\ndrawn from across all the 275 constituencies in Ghana, as well as the party\u2019s<br \/>\nspecial branches and wings such as the external branches, students wing, youth<br \/>\nand women wing.<\/p>\n<p>The party\u2019s General Secretary, John Boadu, also used the occasion to give the annual report of the party per the dictates of the party\u2019s constitution, highlighting some key achievements of the party for the past one year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Charles Takyi-Boadu &amp; Nana Kwasi \u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Akufo-Addo interacting with Freddie Blay (2nd left), Chairman, NPP, while Vice-President Dr Bawumia looks on PRESIDENT NANA Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo says the volume of work and campaign promises he has fulfilled in his first term will secure him another four-year term in office.
