Nana Akufo-Addo Commends NPP Presidential Election Committee for Transparency and Professionalism

Former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has praised the Presidential Election Committee of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for what he described as an impressive and transparent execution of its mandate ahead of the party’s presidential primary scheduled for Saturday, 31st January.
In a statement reflecting on a briefing he received from the Committee, Nana Akufo-Addo disclosed that the Committee had formally called on him to present a comprehensive report on activities undertaken so far in planning and executing the upcoming primary. According to him, the work done by the Committee stands out for its clarity, openness, and strict adherence to democratic principles.
“The Committee’s work, thus far, has been nothing short of impressive,” the former President noted, stressing that key milestones have been achieved under a firm commitment to zero tolerance for opacity. He added that this approach has not only ensured transparency but has also “guarded religiously the sanctity of the process.”
Political observers say the commendation from Nana Akufo-Addo underscores growing confidence within the party regarding the credibility of the internal electoral process.
The Presidential Election Committee is chaired by Hon. Joseph Osei-Owusu, a former First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, whose leadership has been widely credited for the orderly, inclusive, and principled manner in which the Committee has discharged its duties. Under his stewardship, the Committee has consistently emphasized fairness, stakeholder engagement, and respect for party regulations.
Party insiders describe the Committee’s work as a strong signal of the NPP’s commitment to democratic values and internal accountability as it prepares to elect a flagbearer for the next general election.
With the presidential primary drawing closer, Nana Akufo-Addo’s endorsement is expected to further boost confidence among party delegates, aspirants, and the general public in the integrity of the process being led by Hon. Joseph Osei-Owusu and his team.
