The Youth for Nduom 2012 Exploratory Committee has given the 2008 flagbearer of the Convention People�s Party (CPP), Paa Kwesi Nduom, the green light to pursue his presidential ambition since there was undoubting hope for success in the 2012 elections. The Committee, which was commissioned by Dr Nduom some three months ago to undertake a thorough research to ascertain the viability of his presidential candidature, said there was substantial evidence on the grounds that he could be a better President if certain issues and gaps were promptly addressed by the party at all levels. The research was to also determine whether or not Ghanaians believed Dr Nduom could be a better President of Ghana, find out reasons why he lost the 2008 Presidential elections, determine if he should contest the 2012 elections and also determine what should be done to ensure victory in the elections. Mr Richard Nii Amarh, Spokesperson of the Committee, at a press conference to present findings and recommendations of the research in Accra on Wednesday, said the research revealed a widespread recognition and admiration of his leadership style during his days as a Cabinet Minister in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration. He also mentioned his role in the introduction of the National Identification System, the New Pension System, his role in the oil discovery, Public Sector Reforms including the Single Spine Salary Structure as well as accessing the Millennium Challenge Account. According to him, Dr Nduom�s instrumental role both in Parliament and his constituency as the Member for Komenda Edina Eguafo Abrem were all appreciated by a large majority of Ghanaians as their reasons for the call on him to relentlessly contest for the winning race in the 2012 general elections. Mr Amarh said the Committee however urgently recommends the inclusion of more youths and the use of more innovative methods and means to get its messages across to the electorates.
