Akufo-Addo Expresses Disappointment About 2020 Election Results In Upper East Region
President Nana Akuffo Addo has expressed disappointment and regret about the results of the 2020 general elections in the Upper East Region.
According to the President, the results of the 2020 elections brought disappointment to him and the entire New Patriotic Party (NPP) because of his love and the massive developmental projects and policies which the Region benefited from in his first term in office.
Speaking at the Bawku Naba palace in the Upper East Region on his working visit, the President said a considerable amount of regret as the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) secure 175,400 voters representing 34.44% as against the National Democratic Congress (NDC) 322,317 representing 63.29% in the Upper East Region.
According to the president, “it’s true that the results of the election in Upper East were some of the most disappointing for our party and for myself personally across the country, it’s a matter of considerable regret.”
“We believe we put in a lot of work, I think you mentioned some of them in terms of our contribution to the development of the region, apart from that, they were a lot of political work that was put in by us in the Upper East Region.”
He however, noted that the Region that he visited the most among the sixteen(16) regions of the country during his first term did not produce the needed results, but the people of the Upper East Region took a different view of his government both the quality of their work and the support of political projects so it must be a considerable regret for him.
