Presidential candidate aspirant of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Joe Ghartey, has picked his forms to contest the NPP’s upcoming presidential primaries.
Picked on his behalf by several constituency executives and chairpersons, he hopes to win the primaries in order to give the party a new direction and provide opportunities for everyone, especially young people across Ghana.
Mr Ghartey is seeking to become President in a bid to tackle poverty and unite the NPP and Ghanaians from all walks of life.
For him, it is time for Ghanaians to “fight poverty” rather than fight against one another.
And the several constituency executives and chairmen who have joined him are poised to see the ruling New Patriotic Party moving in a new direction, one in which everyone regardless of their economic, social, religious or ethnic background can have equal opportunity.
Mr Ghartey, an astute politician and former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, had his forms picked by NPP constituency executives and Chairmen on Thursday, June 1, 2023, at the NPP headquarters in Accra.
The Essikado-Ketan Constituency longest-serving Member of Parliament who introduced the ‘Justice For All’ programme during the former President John Agyekum Kufuor’s administration, wants the NPP to be a party, and Ghana a country in which everyone can have equal opportunity.
Addressing NPP executives at the Osu Ebenezer Presbyterian Church after receiving his nomination forms, Mr Ghartey says he was not seeking to become the presidential candidate of the NPP or the President of Ghana for personal gains.
He said he want to serve the party and the country, to bring about prosperity and provide opportunities for all Ghanaians, saying that “politics is hard work.”
He recounted how he been standing with the NPP through difficult times since the 1990s, saying “We have worked tirelessly for this party.”
He says the NPP needs an experienced person who can unit its members and Ghanaians, saying it’s about time politicians stop fighting against each other.
“We must unify the country and we must unify the party”, the veteran politician said.
