Former Vice President and 2024 flagbearer of the (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has acknowledged a decline in the popularity of former President but expressed confidence that history will judge his legacy favourably.

Speaking to party members in the Eastern Region during the NPP's ongoing nationwide Thank You Tour, Dr Bawumia highlighted Akufo-Addo's contributions to Ghana, suggesting that their significance would be better appreciated with time. "Today, when you look at it, my own boss Nana is not as popular as before, is that not so?

But I have strong conviction that posterity will be very kind to .

Because people with time will appreciate the work he came to do for Ghana, today we do not see it," Dr Bawumia told party faithful in Koforidua over the weekend of May 24-25, 2025.
