President Akufo-Addo expressed confidence that Ghanaians will uphold Ghana's status as a bastion of democracy in Africa during the upcoming 2024 elections.

In a Christmas Day radio broadcast, he emphasized the importance of conducting the elections with a sense of responsibility to ensure they are free, fair, and transparent.

This, he said, "will enable the Ghanaian people to choose in peace and serenity the person and persons who will manage their affairs on their behalf for the next four years.”

“I am confident that yet again Ghanaians will rise to the occasion and reinforce the status of Ghana as a bastion of democracy on the African continent. For my part, I will always be grateful to Almighty God and to you, the Ghanaian people, for allowing me to serve you,” he added.

President Akufo-Addo reassured Ghanaians of his commitment to building a free and prosperous nation with opportunities for every Ghanaian child, regardless of their circumstances of birth.

He added that he will ensure that every Ghanaian “has a fair chance to strive for a happy and dignified life and realize his or her aspirations and where we can unleash the sense of enterprise, creativity, and innovation of the Ghanaian people so that together we can build a progressive, prosperous Ghana whose citizens live in harmony and security in fulfilment of the dreams of the founding fathers of our nation.”
