General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has declared his interest in the national chairman position of the party.
Mr Asiedu Nketia had been linked to the national chairman position of the NDC but he never officially confirmed.
However, in an interview on Accra 100.5 FM on Thursday, he officially and publicly confirmed his interest and decision to contest for the position in the upcoming elections scheduled for December 2022.
“Yes, I have intentions that when nominations are opened, I will pick forms to contest the national chairman position.”
In September 2022, Mr Asiedu Nketia said he was ready for the NDC to use him for any position in the party, and that if anyone decides to compete with Samuel Ofosu Ampofo for the national chairman position of the party, it will not be problematic.
That was when he declared that he will not be seeking re-election as General Secretary in the December 17, 2022, national executives elections of the party.
