Akufo-Addo as part of his Arise for Change tour in February this year appealed to voters to give him a chance at the presidency.

In one of the tours to Settler communities in Derma in the Tano South constituency in the Brong Ahafo region, he said: "This year, try me too. Give me the chance to show you what I can do. Four years is not so far away. If I come and I don’t succeed, kick me out. God knows my heart and I can assure you that I won’t disappoint you."

However, speaking at a campaign rally in Bimbila in the Northern Region, President Mahama, who is seeking a second term, asked Akufo-Addo to refrain from begging for power.

"...It is a very dangerous experiment, Ghana is not at the stage where we are experimenting leadership and so you can’t come and beg that we should try you," he  said.“We are not in the era of experiments and trials, we are in the era of what is sure, we have seen this government, one of the major success of this government is peace and stability,” he added.
