Yesterday, Tuesday, 27th June 2023, Ghana’s democratic credentials were strengthened even further following the conduct of peaceful and credible elections in the Assin North by-election.
I congratulate warmly the Chairperson and Members of the Electoral Commission, again, for a job well-done. The security services are to be commended for maintaining law and order during the holding of the elections; as is the media for providing extensive coverage before, during and after the elections.
I congratulate the National Democratic Congress on its victory yesterday.
I urge members of my party, the New Patriotic Party, to keep their heads up, recognising that, in a democracy, there are winners and losers, and that we live to fight another day. We once held the Assin North seat, and I am confident that, sooner rather than later, Assin North will be blue again.
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo
President of the Republic
