Vanderpuije was appointed Mayor when the late John Evans Atta Mills was elected President in 2008 and went on to serve for eight years in that office under the National Democratic Congress government but he will be out of that job on January 7 when the NPP administration is sworn-in.
However, Mr Vanderpuije says he is willing to serve Ghana under any leader.
“We are all Ghanaians; we are ready to serve our nation," Mr Vanderpuije said in an interview on GHOne TV's morning show on Thursday.
"Depending on who is leader of this country, when the leader calls we would consider and then we would say YES or NO based on what would be put before us.
“I am always and ever ready to serve Ghana. Whoever is the leader, if I get a call which says that we want you to consider this offer, at that point we will look at it,”Mr Vanderpuije added.
Mr Vanderpuije will still be in public service after January 7 after he won the Ablekuma South Parliamentary seat.
Akufo-Addo won last week’s Presidential Elections with 53 per cent of the vote as against incumbent President John Mahama’s 44 percent.
