Former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo addressed the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) National Delegates Conference, urging delegates to elect national officers who could unite the party and rebuild its structures ahead of the 2028 general election. The conference was taking place at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi. Akufo-Addo emphasized that the new leadership would collaborate with Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the presidential candidate, and parliamentary candidates to pursue victory in the upcoming elections.

He stated that the conference was a crucial step in the party's reorganization and strengthening of its structures.
