The Foreign Minister also worked as a junior partner at the chambers of U.V. Campbell, and in 1979 co-founded, with Dr Edmund Prempeh, the law firm, Akufo-Addo, Prempeh and Company in Accra.

Nana Akufo-Addo has served on the boards and committees of a number of political, legal and social organizations in the country. He is also the Chairperson of DHL, Ghana Limited; Chairperson, Kinesec Communications Company Limited, publishers of the Statesman.

On December 23, 2007, Akufo-Addo was elected as the NPP's 2008 presidential candidate at a party congress, receiving 47.96% of valid votes (1,096 votes). Although he fell short of the required 50%, the second-place candidate, John Alan Kyeremanten, conceded defeat and backed Akufo-Addo.^[1] In the 2008 presidential election, Akufo-Addo received the highest number of votes in the first round of voting, but since he failed to obtain a majority, the election went into a second round runoff between him and National Democratic Congress candidate John Atta Mills. In the runoff, he lost the election to Atta-Mills by a 50.23%–49.77% vote.^[2]
