Former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has expressed confidence that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will reclaim power in the 2028 general elections.
Speaking at the commissioning of the newly constructed Bantama Constituency office of the NPP on Friday, September 19, 2025, Akufo-Addo cited the governance legacy of his administration and that of former President John Agyekum Kufuor as a foundation for the party’s political resurgence.
“The work the NPP did during my time and during former President Kufuor’s time is enormous, and it is that legacy we will build on to win back power in 2028,” he stated.
The former president expressed concern over the current state of affairs under the John Dramani Mahama-led administration, urging party members to stay united and focused.

“We have all seen what is happening—you’ve all seen it. Things are not going well. But when we unite and do things right, I know that, with God’s help, we will reclaim power in 2028,” he added.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo assumed Ghana’s presidency after winning the 2016 election, defeating John Mahama, who was the incumbent candidate.

Despite his optimism about handing over power to an NPP president, the party lost the 2024 election to John Mahama’s comeback.
The NPP has since been reorganizing ahead of the 2028 presidential and parliamentary election.
The party has scheduled a flagbearer election for January 31, 2026.
