I remain committed to fulfilling my promises-Nana Addo

President elect of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has assured the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs that he would be committed to fulfilling promises made to Ghanaians during his campaigns.

According to him, his promise of building harbours at both the James Town and Teshie Townships would be implemented in the coming years.

Nana Akufo-Addo gave the assurance on Tuesday, when he made his first call on the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs since his declaration by the Electoral Commission (EC) as the winner of last week Wednesday's presidential poll.

He thanked the Chiefs for their support in his landslide victory over his fierce contender, President Mahama.

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2016 elections recorded a stunning 21 out of the 34 seats in the Greater Accra Region.

This was an improvement of its performance in the 2012 general elections.

The party also polled 52 percent of the popular votes as against a disappointing performance by the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Incumbent President John Mahama polled 1,125,751 in 2012 representing 52.31 percent of the valid vote cast in the Region.

Nana Akufo-Addo had 1,009,787 which is 46.92 percent of the votes.

'It is because of this [performance in the Region] that I am coming to thank you and to reiterate my determination to implement policies to develop the Region,' Nana Akufo-Addo said in Ga.

He entreated the Chiefs not to hesitate in advising him when they are convinced he is in the wrong. 'With this work, if you don't have people who will advise you, it will be difficult,' he said.

Meanwhile, the President-elect would be meeting with the National Executive Committee (NEC) of his party to discussion the transition process and persons to be appointed to the various ministerial portfolios.
