Akufo-Addo denies rumour

Friday, Jan 8, 2010

The Office of Nana Akufo-Addo's attention has been drawn to recent media reports to the effect that there was a meeting of New Patriotic Party officials to discuss the possible ticket of Nana Akufo-Addo as Presidential Candidate and Mr Alan Kyerematen as his running mate for the 2012 Presidential Election. The reports also allege that Nana Akufo-Addo rejected the suggestion that Mr Kyerematen should be his running mate.

The Office wishes to inform NPP members, NPP faithful and the general public that it is not true that any such meeting has been called or even taken place. Furthermore, the Office wishes to place on record that Nana Akufo-Addo has never rejected any suggestion of a Nana-Alan ticket.

Nana Akufo-Addo welcomes any suggestion or combination of persons on the ticket of the NPP that will secure unity and victory for the Party in 2012.

We hope that this statement clarifies and puts to rest the unfortunate and false information being parried in a section of the mass media.
