President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has assured the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that he would lead it to another victory in the December 7, 2020, general elections.

He stated this at a Special National Council meeting of the NPP with limited guests in attendance at the Alisa Hotel in Accra Saturday morning [June 27, 2020].

This was after he had been out-doored as the flag bearer of the NPP for the December 7, 2020, presidential election.
