Asiedu Nketiah says he will declare presidential ambition ‘when the time is up’
National Chairman of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, says he will openly declare any presidential ambition when the appropriate time comes.
National Chairman of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has stated that he will declare any presidential ambition "when the time is up." In an interview with JoyNews’ PM Express, Nketiah emphasized that ambition is an essential part of politics, and politicians must have ambitions, though the timing of declaring such intentions is crucial.
He used the analogy of pregnancy to explain that one cannot hide their intentions forever and that if they wish to seek public support, they must make their ambitions known at the right moment. When directly asked about his desire to become president, Nketiah insisted that the appropriate time for such a declaration had not yet arrived, and he dismissed suggestions that his reluctance to be categorical implies he has already decided to pursue the presidency.
He emphasized that several political options remain available to him, including retaining his current position, returning to a previous party role, going back to Parliament, or contesting the presidency.
