Former Energy Minister, Boakye Kyeremateng Agyarko has declared his ambition to lead the NPP into the 2024 elections.
Mr Agyarko believes he is "fit for purpose", for which reason he has resolved to put himself up to be elected by the party delegates.
“In 2008, I was a contestant, one of the 17. I stayed to pay my dues. I consider myself fit for purpose and so I will not resale from that ambition or that objective. But at the end of the day it is for the grassroots to decide,” he added.
Mr. Agyarko has, since the commencement of the party’s annual regional delegate’s conference been involved in the process.
The former Campaign Manager of the NPP has already participated in three regional conferences, Savanah Region, Upper West and Upper East. Sources say, his involvement in the process is to energize his base ahead of the crucial flagbearership race.
The latest declaration by the former minister adds to the list of leading members of the party, including Vice President Dr. Bawumia, Trade Minister Alan Kwadwo Kyeremanteng and the Agric Minister Dr. Afriyie Akoto who are lacing their boots to succeed President Akufo-Addo after the expiration of his tenure.
