In his remark, the former president thanked the chiefs and people for the honour done him and promised to complete all the projects when re-elected on December 7, 2020.

Meanwhile, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo who is also the leader and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has predicted that the NPP will win with a first-round victory in the upcoming December elections.

According to him, the NPP is targeting a first-round victory because he is confident Ghanaians will vote for him given his performance so far since he became president.

Akufo-Addo reportedly made this declaration during a working tour to the Bono Region, where he addressed people of Berekum East and Berekum West, appealing for votes.
