Joe Ghartey, a member of parliament for the Essikado-Ketan Constituency, has declared his intention to run in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential primaries this year.
To lead the party into the 2024 presidential elections, the former Attorney General claims he possesses all the necessary skills.
“I am standing for the presidential, flagbearership [race] of NPP,” he said in an interview with Takoradi-based Connect FM on the sidelines of a Thanksgiving Service organized by Ahanta West MP Ebenezer Kojo Kum.
“I think I have what it takes. I strongly believe I have the experience, I have the capacity, I have the humility, I have the sense of service to serve the people of Ghana.”
Following statements made by certain high-ranking party members that they would run in the primaries later this year, Joe Ghartey made his announcement.
Recently, Dr. Afriyie Osei Akoto and Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen have resigned from government to pursue their personal interests.
Since then, Mr. Kyerematen has formally stated his goal to become president of Ghana after December 2024 in addition to leading the NPP into the upcoming elections.
