President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has described as a rare experience his unveiling as the 2020 presidential nominee of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He said it is not as a result of the abnormal times occasioned by the coronavirus pandemic, which has seen the implementation of strict preventive protocols at the gathering of the members of the National Council of the NPP.
But he said it is because it is one of only two occasions in his political career that he has not been contested for a political office.
Often times, he confessed, he has faced “bruising battles” to occupy a political position.
President Akufo-Addo made this known on Saturday, June 27 when he was officially unveiled as the 2020 flagbearer of the NPP for a record fourth time.
He also proposed Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as his running mate, also a record fourth time and it was overwhelmingly endorsed by the Council.
President Akufo-Addo told the socially-distanced delegates at the Alisa Hotel: “I do not take your trust likely.”
