The 2012 flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has appealed to all NPP delegates to vote for efficient candidates who can collectively work to enhance the image and fortunes of the party in every region of the country. In a goodwill message to the party, he declared, �Our task in Tamale on April 12, 2014 is simple but critical: To choose a team of capable national officers who will lead us as a united force to recapture power in the 2016 general election. The NPP rank and file deserve a leadership which will provide, with urgency, a clear and credible strategic plan for achieving this purpose.� For the second time over 5,000 delegates will gather at the party�s national delegates� congress, this time at the Tamale Sports Stadium tomorrow, to elect national officers to steer the affairs of the party for a four-year term. According to Nana Akufo-Addo, this weekend marks an important milestone in the history and future of the NPP, and, therefore, urged the party to have a peaceful, free and fair election. �All party members wish to see the successes that we chalked up in the polling station, constituency and regional elections repeated at this weekend�s national delegates� congress,� he stated, and asked the party to further see to it that in line with the tradition of the party, both winners and losers were brought together after the elections to promote the unity and fortunes of the party. According to the 2012 presidential candidate, �we expect from the elected team two things: Ensuring the unity of the party and leading us to victory in 2016.� He said Ghanaians were looking up to the NPP to provide a clear and strong direction to deliver them from the increasing hardships and hopelessness they had been plunged into by the Mahama-led NDC administration.
