The Office of former President Akufo-Addo has denied media reports alleging his involvement in efforts to alter the New Patriotic Party’s plans for its upcoming National Delegates Conference.
In an official statement released today, the office described as “completely false” claims published by Otecfinghana and Ghanaweb that the former President sought to overturn party decisions regarding early primaries or postpone the July 19 conference.
The statement clarified that former President Akufo-Addo, who has been outside Ghana for some time, has not submitted any petition or made requests to the party regarding these matters. The office emphasized that he holds no such intentions to interfere with the party’s processes.
“Clearly, those behind these publications have an agenda of their own, which has nothing to do with improving the fortunes of the New Patriotic Party (NPP),” the statement read.
The brief but strongly-worded denial concluded with the office’s official signature, maintaining the former President’s position of non-interference in the party’s upcoming conference.
The NPP’s National Delegates Conference remains scheduled for July 19 as planned, with no indication from party officials that the alleged interference claims have affected preparations.Source: Myjoyonline.com
