President Akufo-Addo says he will step down as president when his tenure ends without any resistance.
According to him, he will live up to the legacy of his predecessor and hand over power when his time is up.
“I willingly step down as president on 7th January. And I do so because I will be in good company with that of Jerry John Rawlings, and Agyekum Kufuor who in the fourth have been privileged by the people of Ghana to serve two terms as president of the republic,” he said.
He made this comment during a Senior Citizens luncheon at the Jubilee House, on August 5.
President Akufo-Addo said it has been the greatest honour of his life to be afforded the opportunity to serve as head of state for two terms.
He also challenged himself to oversee a peaceful and fair election in the upcoming polls in December as he prepares to leave office.
President Akufo-Addo emphasised his commitment to achieving this goal with the support of all Ghanaians.
"The last major challenge for me is to preside over peaceful and fair elections in December, and that is a commitment," he stated.
