Former National Youth Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Emmanuel Attefuah-Danso believes one of the party�s presidential hopefuls, Francis Addai-Nimo is promising of becoming a President in future. To him, Addai Nimo�s shocking performance in the party�s Super Delegates� Congress clearly shows he is now marketable to lead the NPP. At the Super Delegates� Congress, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo polled 598 votes out of 740 ballots cast, representing 80.78%, with his closest contender, Mr Alan Kyerematen, obtaining 59 votes, representing 7.98%. Addai Nimo and Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Joe Ghartey, obtained 22 votes each � representing 2.97% of total votes cast. All four expect Joe Ghartey will contest in the flagbearership race. Although Addai Nimo has said will contest the party�s October 18 National Congress after many have called on him to step down, the former NPP youth leader opined that his (Addai Nimo) attempt is just to �make himself marketable for some years to come. I am really proud of him�. But in a statement copied to Peacefmonline.com the NPP presidential hopeful noted that �he will lead the party to power in the 2016 general elections when the delegates give him the nod among the remaining four candidates�. However, in an interview with Peacefmonline.com Attefuah-Danso who claims to be a �Nana Addo boy� said; �I wouldn�t be surprise if Addai Nimo shocks us. He is one fine gentleman who can be a fine president�after Nana Addo I guess�. �I know for sure that the honorable man is just nursing his presidential ambition,� he added.
