As President Akufo-Addo prepares to leave office after the 2024 elections, three of his close aides are poised to secure seats in the legislature if successful in the upcoming parliamentary polls.

Joseph Addo, Akufo-Addo's personal driver for over two decades, recently declared his candidacy for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primary in the La Dade Kotopon constituency in the Greater Accra Region.

He aims to reclaim the seat for the NPP, highlighting his deep roots within the community.

During the NPP primaries in December 2023 for orphan constituencies, Akufo-Addo's official spokespersons also emerged victorious.

Eugene Kofi Bentum Arhin, the president's director of communications, is seeking to regain the party's Awutu Senya West seat.

In his victory speech, Sackey expressed gratitude to the President and the Vice President for their encouragement and support.

The Ablekuma Central seat is currently held by the National Democratic Congress's Dan Abdul-Latif, who won it from the NPP's Ebenezer Nartey in the 2020 elections.
