Former Finance Minister Dr. Kwabena Duffuor has officially announced his intention to contest in the flagbearship race of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). Speaking at a media interaction in Accra on Thursday, November 3, 2022, Dr. Duffuor said he would file his candidature as soon as the party opens nominations. He intimated that he is contesting for the position because he is confident that he is the leader the country needs at this moment. “Today, I officially announce my intention to contest for the flagbereship of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) anytime the party opens nominations. I have led a great public and private life, one of success and accomplishments. I will offer myself once again to serve the land of my birth with great humility and sacrifice when I’m given the chance to do so. “The temporary shift we have grown used to in this country with every new government must give way to permanent change in attitude, priorities, and distribution which will benefit all - generation after generation - building on the successes of past leaders as well as learning from their mistakes. “We are witnessing a real dawn of an era in which country trumps person and progress trumps power. An era for all, the era of 'The Ghanaian dream,'" he said.
