The record attempt which commenced on Friday, February 9 is happening at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel and expected to end on February 14, 2024.
Adu Sarfowah will deliver her speech in three languages; English, Twi and French.
As part of the guidelines for the record attempt, Sarfowaa is required to meet a minimum duration of 5 minutes for every speech delivered.
She is also required not to have more than 30 seconds of pauses between the speeches she delivers.
Her speech must be a continuous activity with an option of a question and answer session provided the individual asking the questions is not within the precinct of where the speech is recorded.
Furthermore, the speeches must be impromptu, spontaneous, and it’s context must differ from the other speeches.
The current record for the longest speech marathon is held by Anata Ram KC from Nepal and stands at an impressive 90 hours and 2 minutes from August 27 to 31, 2018.
