Nana Akufo -Addo polled over 90% of the votes.
Commenting on the results of the voting, the Chairman of the UK Branch of NPP, Michael Ansah noted that “the UK Branch had chosen to carry out this process on this specific occasion, to give voice to our choice, and to mandate our delegates to congress, going forward, to vote in accordance with these wishes. The choice of Nana Addo as our preferred candidate, as confirmed by the voting is overwhelming. From hereon we shall speak with one voice as a branch, united in the conviction of our choice”. Commenting on the import of the decision, Michael Ansah stated that “for us in the UK – integrity, discipline, respect for our constitution, and a naked ambition to drive forward with purpose towards victory in 2016, will be what drives our every action. Winning in 2016 is our goal. We will not allow anything to detract us from this purpose”. “I call on all members of our great Party, to join in, and be united behind this bold endeavour. I especially, call on all our leaders, past and present, our Council of Elders, to show collective leadership in the face of any threats we face to the unity we seek” he concluded. The Branch Executive would like to thank all members who participated in this open transparent and peaceful process. We are grateful for your response at short notice and we look forward to our delegates exercising this important vote on our behalf.
