Adwoa Safo noted that the theme for the just-ended national delegate conference ‘Holding Together, Working Together’ embodies what members of the Danquah-Busia-Dombo Tradition must do, and stand for.

This was on the heels of an emphatic Victory by the Party in 2016 and thereafter securing another victory for the party in the 2020 elections.
