Former Presidents John Agyekum Kufuor and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will not attend the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) 2025 National Delegates Congress in person. However, both leaders will address delegates virtually, according to confirmed information from senior party officials.
While the reason for their absence hasn’t been officially disclosed, party insiders cite scheduling and logistical challenges. Despite that, their participation though remote is expected to send a strong message of unity and continuity to party members nationwide.
The NPP is preparing for a critical moment. With internal debates on party reforms, upcoming elections, and the future of its leadership, many believe the voices of the former presidents will help calm tensions and guide the party forward.
“Even from a distance, their words will carry weight,” said a national executive member. “They helped build this party, and their wisdom is needed now more than ever.”
Both Kufuor and Akufo-Addo are expected to speak on unity, discipline, and the importance of rallying behind the party’s chosen direction. They may also share reflections on past victories, challenges, and the lessons needed to win power again in 2026.
Thousands of delegates from across the country will gather for the congress. Apart from the speeches, the event will focus on passing key resolutions, reviewing party structures, and strengthening campaign strategies.
In the coming days, party organizers will finalize arrangements for the virtual addresses, ensuring that the voices of the party’s most senior statesmen reach every delegate. For many, their presence though digital will be a timely reminder of the NPP’s roots and its path ahead.
