He expressed his belief that the elections were conducted fairly and transparently and urged party members to put any differences from the primaries behind them and come together to secure victory in the 2024 general elections.

Agyapong said, "I believe the party has been fair and transparent. That is the only thing I have always been preaching. This election is fair, my grassroots have spoken, and I accept the results in good faith.

"We are going to work tirelessly to break the 8. We should put everything behind us and let us unite this party. With unity, I believe we can break the 8. I congratulate the Election Committee, Police, EC, and the party members for the commitment you have shown for peace. We have to come together and give the NDC a showdown."
