Below a copy of the letter
18th October, 2014
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo
2016 NPP flagbearer
Accra, Ghana.
Dear Nana,
The news of your resounding and overwhelming victory at the just-ended flag-bearer elections of our party has just reached me and I congratulate you immensely.
The peaceful conclusion of this conference is a decisive testament to the strength of our party’s tradition of democracy and people’s power.
Perhaps, it is needless for me to reiterate, as I am sure you are already committed, that you should do your utmost best to rally the entire party behind you for the onward march for victory both in the presidential and parliamentary elections of 2016. The nation and the party expect this of you.
The competition that the other contestants offered was good and in the spirit of democracy which is the foundation of our tradition.
I assure you of my fullest support in the contest ahead.
Once again, let me wish you, your wife, Becky, and the rest of your family well.
Yours
John Agyekum Kufuor
Former President.
