Lawyer and politician Nana Akufo-Addo has opened up on how he won two successful elections held in 2016 and 2020 to become the president of Ghana.
It will be recalled that Akufo-Addo, then flagbearer of the NPP suddenly fell when the stage on which he was addressing a huge crowd in Kumasi caved in at the Jubilee Park on Sunday, December 2, 2012.
Other party leaders, including former president John Agyekum Kufuor were on stage with him when the dramatic incident occurred at about 6pm.
They escaped serious injuries. However, the rally came to an abrupt end.
Akufo-Addo lost that year’s presidential polls.
He campaigned again in 2016 and defeated John Dramani Mahama of the NDC to become the next president of Ghana.
There have been ongoing conversations on President Nana Akufo-Addo’s struggle to power.
He said ‘I committed that third election campaign to God, and indicated to the Ghanaian people that ‘The Battle is the Lord’s’.
‘By God’s grace, I won a famous victory against an incumbent President by a gap of nearly a million votes, the largest margin of victory for two decades. And, by the same Grace, I won re-election in the December 2020 elections, and I am now in my second and last term as President’.
