President Nana Akufo-Addo encouraged party supporters to be optimistic and maintain their faith. Following the Assin North by-election results on Tuesday resulted in the party losing its attempt for a parliamentary seat.
After the voters chose their next representative in parliament by casting ballots, Nana Addo is optimistic that Assin North would become blue once again.
He thanked the Chairperson and Members of the Electoral Commission for conducting a peaceful, free election in a Facebook post.
“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, recognizing 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.”
