Former President John Agyekum Kufuor says his former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Joe Ghartey's rich political experience makes him one of the leading candidates for the NPP flagbearership race.
 
Mr Ghartey officially informed the former President of his intention to contest in the race to find President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s successor.
 
According to him, Mr Kufuor was happy about his move and urged him to run a decent campaign.
 
“He told me that he had noticed a burning ambition in me to offer myself for service to the people over the years, which is good,” Mr Ghartey told Peaecefmonline.com after the private meeting at Mr Kufuor’s Peduase residence.

The former President also expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Mr Ghartey for serving in his government.
 
“President Kufuor said he was happy with my performance and my professionalism when I served under him and reminded those present that before I became Attorney-General, I was his mother, Obapanyin Ama Dapaah’s lawyer first and subsequently his elder sister, Nana Durwaa’s lawyer,” Mr Ghartey noted.
 
The Member of Parliament (MP) for the Essikado-Ketan Constituency and former Minister for Railways Development has already made his intentions known that he will be contesting to lead the NPP in the next presidential election.
 
“If it is God’s will, I will be President of Ghana,” he told Peacefmonline.com.
