Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the 2016 Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has welcomed the former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings, into the race for the presidency and wished her well.
'The NPP and I welcome her into the race for the presidency and we wish her well,' Nana Akufo-Addo stated.
Mrs Rawlings was on Saturday acclaimed the 2016 flag bearer of the National Democratic Party (NDP) in the November election at the Trade Fair Centre in Accra.
The congress had the former first lady's two daughters, Amina and Yaa Asantewaa, as well as former President Jerry Rawlings attending it to support Mrs Rawlings.
'I warmly congratulate Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings on her election on Saturday, April 30, 2016, as the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Party (NDP) for the 2016 elections,' Nana Akufo-Addo declared in a statement yesterday.
He also expressed optimism that the former First Lady's election to lead the NDP would help shape the political discourse hinged on policies and ideas as against one characterised by attrition and personal attacks.
'Her wealth of experience in Ghanaian politics should put her in good stead to help steer and shape the nature of our political discourse from one of attrition, personality attacks and negative preoccupations to an issues-based campaign, hinged on the competition of policies and ideas. That is how the public interest of our nation can be best served,' he stated.
