In his address, the Vice President expressed his gratitude and emphasized the importance of their collective efforts in achieving victory.
He said, "I want to thank all of you for the hard work and support that you have given me in this journey to become the flagbearer and presidential candidate of the great New Patriotic Party.
“You have worked very hard, and I want to thank you. This is only stage one, so after you celebrate this afternoon, you will start working again, and then we will move forward."
