Acting National Chairman of the NPP, Freddy Blay has reject all suggestions that he is an Nkrumahist.
Freddy Blay who is seeking to become the substantive chairman of the governing party, served as a member of parliament on the ticket of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) from 1997 to 2008.
He was infact one of the notable faces and strong voices in the party founded by the country’s first President, Dr Kwame Nkrumah.
He resigned from the party months after losing his parliamentary seat to Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah who remains the incumbent MP for area.
In an interview with TV3’s Kwakye Afreh-Nuamah, the former second deputy speaker of parliament explains that, “I am not an Nkrumahist at heart.
I believe I am a liberal democrat. There is a saying in Akan language that, ‘Paul amba nt3m mpo,osen adikanfo.’ In this case, they should judge me like a Joseph. I have come to work as a team member. I have been loyal. Loyal to the party that I have joined.”
Biblically, Joseph was used by God to deliver the people of Egypt from acute famine.
Freddy Blay is in the chairmanship race with three other candidates and insists he is the right man for the job, after leading the NPP to power in the 2016 general election.

It's a pity Ghanaians don't understand politics, politics is nothing like blood born it is an association one can choose and opt out at anytime. If not what is the meaning of crossing a carpet, present day Ghanaians behave more primitive than yesteryear Ghanaians,I don't know if it's because ndc has taken much time of our independence than anyone which has draw us back so many years. People who would never have gone near the seat of government in any sharp of form in any government of Ghana were holding sensitive positions and deciding for the over 20 million Ghanaians in the ndc government. It's a pity! People who didn't know anything some even didn't know Accra were all giving positions because they could talk loudly and insult. America has so many Democrats crossing to Republicans and Republicans crossing to Democrats. Bloomberg was a Democrat and crossed to Republican and became the mayor of New Your on the ticket of Republicans before becoming independent, the same as Rudy Guiliani was a Democrat before becoming a Democrat, Trump was financing both parties so you go where your political career will grow. Stop this nons*nse of somebody is not a true and real blooded this or that party. It is what you can do for the party not where you coming from, Politics is about numbers.Chairman Blay presided over our victory and deserve the substantive chairmanship, losers must stop the who is a full blooded member and who is not. This utterance has exposed some contestants as conceding defeat. Say what you can do more to retain the party in power for 40 years than he did to bring the party from disunity to unity to victory.
This is also called politcal prooostitution or ***barred word***.
