I’m the new face NPP needs to retain power – Addai-Nimoh

Flagbearer hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Francis Addai-Nimoh has declared that he is the new face that the party’s delegates and Ghanaian voters will want to lead the country on January 7, 2025.

Speaking on Face to Face on Citi TV, the former Mampong legislator argued that history and the dynamics are on his side to become the next leader of the governing NPP.

He said it doesn’t matter if he will be running against some stalwarts of the party who have served in government.

“You recall that at the National Congress at the Accra Sports Stadium when I said the party needs a new face, we are not in opposition and the historical antecedent has it that, if you bring someone who is part of the outgoing government, the person doesn’t succeed

In the case of Professor Mills as sitting vice president and a candidate for the NDC, the party couldn’t make it in 2000

He further intimated that he had defeated some of the persons expressing interest in running for the flagbearership in the past and that history will repeat itself.

Some leading members of the NPP including former Trade and Industry Minister, Alan Kyerematen, former Agric Minister, Owusu Afriyie Akoto, Kennedy Agyepong, and Joe Ghartey have all expressed interest in running to lead the party in the 2024 general elections.
