The President was 72 years old when he gave his closest contender and incumbent President, John Dramani Mahama, a million-vote gap in the December 2016 polls.

Nana Akufo-Addo was born on March 29, 1944, in Accra, Ghana (then the Gold Coast). William Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was the son of Edward Akufo-Addo and his wife Adeline.

He was born into a family with a long history of public service and political activism.

Three of the founding fathers of Ghana were his blood relatives: J.B. Danquah (grand uncle), William Ofori Atta (uncle), and his father, Edward Akufo-Addo, who became the third Chief Justice and later ceremonial President of the Republic from 1970 to 1972.
