The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party has disclosed that the party's 2012 flagbearer, Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo will contest in the 2016 presidential elections despite rumors that the statesman is likely to hang his political boots.
This news comes just days after the Supreme Court's dismissal of the petition filed by NPP presidential candidate, challenging the outcome of the 2012 presidential elections.
Already there are claims by political pollsters that certain high-profile members of the NPP have been named as potentials for the flagbearership slot.
Nana Akufo-Addo after losing the Election Petition case on Thursday August 29, stated that he was taking a break off politics and would return shortly with his decision on what next to do.
However, Mr. Owusu-Afriye, popularly known as Sir John, insisted that Nana Addo is more than prepared to take up the mantle once more.
Sir John told Radio XYZ's strict proof program on Monday that " I am certain in my mind that Nana Addo will return and lead the 2016 presidential elections… He will win the elections, he will go to the flagstaff house…and go on to become an excellent president"
He commented that the party flagbearer would stand the 2016 presidential elections if the party desired it.
"If that is what the party wants, Nana Addo will not disappoint." He declared.
