Former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and senior members of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) will attend the Democracy Union of Africa (DUA) and International Democracy Union (IDU) conference in Nairobi, Kenya, from 26 to 30 October. The high-level forum is expected to draw political leaders, campaign strategists, and democracy advocates from across Africa, Europe, and beyond to discuss campaign management, governance, and the future of democratic leadership on the continent. Akufo-Addo, who led Ghana from 2017 to 2025, will deliver the keynote address and be honoured for his contribution to democratic governance in Ghana and Africa. Organisers say his experience in strengthening institutions and upholding the rule of law will serve as a key reference point for discussions on sustaining democracy in evolving political landscapes. Nhyiaeso MP and former Deputy Finance Minister, Dr. Stephen Amoah, will moderate a session titled “Energy, Enterprise, and the Environment: A Centre-Right Vision for the Future.” New Juaben South MP and former Deputy Minister for Trade and Industry, Michael Okyere Baafi, will feature on a panel discussing “Ending Dependency: Rethinking Africa’s Path to Prosperity.” Akuapem North MP and Vice-President of SME Global (IDU), Sammi Awuku, will contribute to a session on “Trade, Not Aid: Unlocking the Potential of Africa’s Business Partnerships.” The five-day conference, themed “Campaign Management Masterclass: Voters Have Moved On From Your Last Campaign, So You Must Too,” will host participants from countries including Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Liberia, and Malawi. Notable international guests include former Nigerian Senate President Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, Liberia’s Rev. Dr. J. Luther Tarpeh, and representatives from Kenya’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and South Africa’s Democratic Alliance (DA). Organisers say the event seeks to promote collaboration among political actors, strengthen democratic institutions, and provide modern tools for ethical and effective campaign management across Africa.
