I will win power for NPP in 2016 - Joe Ghatey
Aspiring flagbearer of the opposition New
Patriotic Party (NPP), Joe Ghartey says he has the
magic wand to bring the party back to power.

According to him, the NPP at this point in time
needs a unifier to bring together the supposed
factions in the party to wrestle power from the
governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) in
2016.

Mr. Ghartey also Second Deputy Speaker of
Parliament and Member of Parliament for
Essikado-Ketan said “the NPP must for once look
to the West for a flagbearer”.

Media reports had been speculating about the
intention of Mr Ghartey to contest for the party's
top job, but Mr. Ghartey confirmed his intentions
on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme Thursday.

He said at age 52, “I am politically matured and
experienced to lead the NPP in 2016".

The Essikado-Ketan MP added that he has paid his
dues in the party and believes he has a greater
chance of becoming the flagbearer.

The former Attorney General indicated that his
intent is borne out of positive feedback from
series of consultations with the party’s rank
and file which he says has boosted his confidence
to contest.

“If I think I don’t have a chance; I will not
contest. Nothing comes easy buy my confidence
comes from God” he told Ekosii Sen host, Kwadwo
Asare Baffuor Acheampong.

Joe Ghartey said he has the right strategy to win
political power for the NPP in 2016.
