A Former Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Kwabena Duffuor, has said he is not interested in the running mate position of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) now.
Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom, CPP flag bearer told the Daily Graphic on Wednesday that he had pencilled Dr Duffuor and three others for consideration by the leadership of the party as running mate for the December polls.
Reacting to a front page story in yesterday’s issue of the Daily Graphic in which Dr Nduom’s disclosure was published, he said “let me commend Dr Nduom for thinking of four brilliant, excellent and qualified people from the CPP. However, I have not dreamt of that position now,” Dr Duffuor added.
Dr Nduom told the Daily Graphic that he had pencilled Prof. Agyeman Badu Akosa, a former CPP presidential aspirant, Dr Abu Sakara Foster, the Executive Director of Rural and Agriculture Development Associates, Alhaji Suley Garibah, a Tamale-based businessman and Dr Kwabena Duffuor for the position.
Dr Duffuor also expressed surprise that his name had come up for such a position because as far as he was concerned, no one in the party had ever discussed such an issue with him.
This was contrary to Dr Nduom’s claim that some elders of the party had been asked to engage the four in discussions, after which Dr Nduom himself and the Central Committee of the CPP would settle on the most suitable.
