Former Member of Parliament for Offinso
North, Dr. Kofi Konadu Apraku has
indicated that he is confident of becoming
the next flagbearer of the ruling New
Patriotic Party (NPP).
According to him, his vast experience over
the years gives him a better chance to beat
Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and
any other candidate that will contest the
flagbearer race.
Speaking to Citi News on Tuesday, Dr. Kofi
Kanadu Apraku disclosed that unlike in
2007 when he only polled 17 votes when he
contested, he believes this is his time.
"The last/time I went I was number 3. There
are many reasons for that. I believe that
times are different and I have been around
the country. As I indicated earlier I have
been in 14 out of the 16 regions in our
country today and I'm confident that my
experience is now what is prevailing. I think
I'm better positioned than ever before to
lead this country.
' I stand very tall among them [other
aspirants]. My experience is overwhelming,
so practical experience in managing
economies, practical experience in dealing
with current problems, my experience, my
knowledge of this party from its formative
period, I believe 1 have a better chance than
anybody in this race to win this," Dr. Kofi
Konadu Apraku stressed.
Besides Dr. Kofi Konadu Apraku, Joe
Ghartey/and Alan Kyerematen have also
decared their intentions to contest the NPP
flagbearership.
