On August 2, 2023, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo highlighted that no President may impose a candidate on the party against its desires during a meeting with New Patriotic Party (NPP) communicators at Jubilee House.
He argued that the NPP has always honoured its democratic processes and does not adhere to a cult of personality.
President Akufo-Addo highlighted the need to draw lessons from the past in order to prevent a repetition of the party’s defeat in 2008 in response to a request from the NPP Director of Communications over the party’s conduct in the approaching election.
