Asiedu Nketia has earned the right to contest presidency — Fifi Kwetey

Fifi Kwetey, the General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has expressed his support for Johnson Asiedu Nketia, the National Chairman, to contest for the presidency. Speaking on Joy News’ PM Express, Kwetey emphasized that Asiedu Nketia's extensive service to the party, including his tenure at the highest levels, makes him a suitable candidate. He firmly stated that there is nothing objectionable about the former General Secretary's ambition to run for the highest political office.

Kwetey highlighted that Asiedu Nketia's long-standing commitment to the NDC, including his leadership positions, should not be a reason for excluding him from the presidential race. He further stressed that the party's leadership must ensure a level playing field for all potential presidential candidates. The NDC General Secretary clarified that his role is to maintain the party's strength and create an environment where every qualified aspirant can freely pursue their ambitions.

Ultimately, the decision for the next presidential candidate will be made by the party members, rather than individual leaders. Kwetey emphasized that he would not impose his personal preference and that the collective judgment of the party members will determine the future leader.
